Staunton, August 2 – Alikhan Tsechoyev,
permanent representative of the Republic of Ingushetia in Moscow since December
2016, has resigned, reportedly to take up a position in the Russian ministry
for North Caucasus affairs. Republic head Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov has not yet accepted
his resignation or appointed a replacement (kavkaz-uzel.eu/articles/338642/).
Although the permanent
representatives of the non-Russian republics in Moscow seldom get much
attention, they play a key role in coordinating republic policy with the center
and consequently the departure of Tsechoyev after the resignation of Yunus-Bek
Yevkurov was not unexpected.
(For background on these
little-known institutions and their current roles which appear to be expanding
rather than contracting, see windowoneurasia2.blogspot.com/2019/01/non-russian-republic-embassies-in.html
and the sources cited
therein.)
Meanwhile,
appellate courts in republics beyond the borders of Ingushetia continue their
practice of refusing appeals from Ingush protest leaders detained in them to be
released before trial. The latest involves the KBR Supreme Court and Ismail
Nalgiyev of the Ingush Committee for National Unity (doshdu.com/lidera-ingushskih-protestov-ismaila-nalgieva-ostavili-pod-strazhej/).
