North Ossetia Demands Ban On Conscription Of Indigenous Population To War

Cemeteries are already overloaded.

Activists in North Ossetia want Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to ban conscription of natives of the region to fight in Ukraine. Leaders of 12 local organizations published an open letter to the head of the republic, Sergei Menyailo, in which they demanded that the losses among compatriots at the front be disclosed and that Putin's attention be drawn to the “irreversible nature of the decline of the indigenous population”.

The letter was posted by the head of the RPA “Round Table Alania” Khadzimat Dzanaity. Among others, it was signed by Ataman David Badziev, head of the Vladikavkaz department of the Terek Cossack Host, whose members are fighting in Ukraine as part of the “Terek” battalion. Patriotic, labor, and human rights organizations also joined the letter.

Activists demand that Menyailo declare a week of mourning for his fellow countrymen who died at the front. According to them, at least a thousand Ossetians were killed in Ukraine and residents have the right to know about it. They also believe that the head of the region should ask Putin not only to impose a ban on the conscription of natives of the republic, but also to demobilize those already fighting early “in order to preserve the gene pool”.

“Young Ossetians continue to die on the fronts of the special military operation, and their bodies are already filling the cemeteries of Vladikavkaz,” the activists emphasized.

They also criticized the carnival that took place in Vladikavkaz. In their opinion, in conditions when “the Ossetian people are dying out at an accelerating rate, the republic is at the bottom of the all-Russian socio-economic rating”, such “mass festivities” are unacceptable.

Menyailo did not comment on the appeal.
