Staunton, July 9 – “Serious” and “especially serious” crimes, which include corruption, treason and violence, have risen in the North Caucasus to the highest levels since 2010, the Russian interior ministry says (fedstat.ru/indicator/36223), the result of both guns flowing into the region and the deteriorating security situation there.
Slightly more than a third of the 13.093 crimes registered in the region in the first half of 2025 were in Stavropol Kray (5200). Figures for the other federal subjects there are as follows: 3100 in Dagestan, 1600 in North Ossetia, 1300 in Kabardino-Balkaria, 908 in Karachayevo-Cherkessia, 515 in Ingushetia and 490 in Chechnya (fedstat.ru/indicator/36223 and kavkazr.com/a/na-severnom-kavkaze-zaregistrirovali-rekordnoe-za-poslednie-14-let-chislo-tyazhkih-prestupleniy/33469601.html).
The greatest increase over the last year came in Adygeya, a reflection of its low initial numbers. It was followed on this metric by Kalmykia, Chechnya and Karachayevo-Cherkessia. The comparable figure for the Russian Federation as a whole was up by 25 percent in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
