[KavkazUzel] Jews lived in the North Caucasus for many centuries and made a significant contribution to the cultural and social life of Dagestan, Chechnya and Kabardino-Balkaria. The traditions and life of Mountain Jews fit organically into the life of other peoples of the Caucasus, but by now the Jewish communities in the North Caucasus were on the verge of extinction. The history of the indigenous Jewish population of the region is described in the information of the "Caucasian Knot". MODERNITY AND RECENT PAST
By 2016, there were only about 10,000-11,000 Mountain Jews in the North Caucasus, with the largest of the Jewish communities formed in Pyatigorsk - about seven thousand Mountain Jews who arrived from the republics of the North Caucasus and Azerbaijan live there. The Derbent community, the oldest, then numbered about 400,000 people.

In a residential building where Ukrainian Armed Forces rounds actually demolished the floor, they continue to clear the rubble and retrieve the bodies of the dead residents. An elderly couple had previously died - the grandparents had limited mobility and could not quickly hide from the bombing; their arrival found them in the kitchen.
The child, who was previously declared dead, survived - but her parents remain under the rubble. Residents of the house said that there had been people flying into their house before, and people couldn’t hold back their emotions after what happened. The search for the dead and survivors continues.

16:28 Sightseeing summary as of November 5, 2023:
In the Avdeevsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue the offensive operation launched on October 10. The most difficult bloody battles are taking place, the enemy is currently standing there due to the transfer of reserves and deep concrete shelters. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have only one serious road left to supply the group, and that one is under fire from our artillery.
By the way, in the Avdeevsky sector of the Russian Army, the concentration of artillery pieces was exceeded. However, at the moment there is no decisive collapse of the enemy’s defense.
Kherson direction: the enemy, at the cost of heavy losses, is trying to expand the bridgehead on our coast in well-known areas, but is not achieving success. The battle continues, the enemy is drawing new forces to our shores, kamikaze drones are being used more and more often by both sides.
On the Zaporozhye Front, we will say with caution that information is coming from front-line soldiers about a decrease in the intensity of artillery shelling. But the enemy does not abandon attempts to push through the front using small groups of motorized infantry.
Over the last month, south of Kleshcheevka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have nevertheless crossed the railway through Andreevka. They are pressing on the highway to Artemovsk (Bakhmut). Near Kleshcheevka itself there are defensive battles, with almost no change in the front line.
Periodically, it is reported that enemy strongholds have been captured in the Kupyansk direction, but there is no breakthrough of the front, although the initiative is with the Russian Armed Forces.
15:25 Russian army came into the village of Spornoe in the Seversky direction, reports the First Cossack
The assault on the village began a week ago and took place in difficult conditions. The village was heavily fortified by the Ukronazis, who fired massive fire from it at the advancing Russian units.
Despite this, Russian soldiers and officers showed courage and heroism, and were eventually able to take control of the village. This was an important success for the Russian army, since Spornoye is an important stronghold in the Seversky direction.

14:24 The Paratrooper’s Diary reports from the Zaporozhye direction:
The front line and the overall situation remain the same. The enemy is actively using various types of artillery, actively placing cassettes, using remote mining and UAVs.
At night, large homemade enemy drones (Baba Yaga or Cow) fly into front-line rear areas, descend to the minimum possible height and drop anti-tank mines onto field roads, thereby trying to destroy our equipment.
Small enemy groups also come to our positions, where we destroy them.
Positional battles are underway near Verbovoy. The enemy is trying to break through the western part of Verbovoy in order to enter the populated area.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are firing an incredible amount of artillery at this particular part of Verbovoy in order to prevent the Russian Armed Forces from carrying out counterattacks and preparing this part of the village for defense.
Due to worsening weather conditions, the pace of artillery work decreases, since there is no way to make adjustments from UAVs.
13:40 Footage of the combat work of military personnel of the reconnaissance units of the Western Military District in the Kupyansk direction -video.
13:27 Assault units of the Russian Armed Forces have secured a foothold near the village. Network on the northern face of the enemy's Avdeevsky fortified area, cutting the railway track.
Taking into account the advance of assault troops to the north and north-west on the southern front of the Avdeevka Bulge, the width of the corridor under enemy control in the west of the city is about 7-8 km and includes several field roads.
13:00 Avdeevskoe direction:
At these moments, our army continues to launch intense artillery strikes from heavy artillery and MLRS. There is movement forward in the Stepovoy (Petrovsky) area. The advance was 500 meters. The movement continues.
12:37 Orekhovsky section situation as of 11.00 November 5, 2023:
While the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade was preparing to return to the front line, individual units of other formations were already redeploying forces to the line of contact.
Over the past few days, formations of the 82nd Airborne Brigade, 71st ebr, as well as the 118th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been converging on Rabotino and the wedging area in the direction of Novoprokopovka.
In addition, in the landings west of Verbovoy, paratroopers of the 78th Separate Assault Regiment and 3 battalions of the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade, members of the Topaz tactical group, took positions.
Judging by the renewed activity of the Ukrainian combined units, attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Orekhovsky sector will continue in the near future. At the same time, the main task of the enemy is not to break through the defense, but to pin down the Russian Armed Forces in the direction.
To create an advantage and give time to the Marine Corps in the Kherson direction, it is necessary to keep Russian troops in the Zaporozhye region while naval infantry near the Dnieper try to expand the bridgehead.
And in this case, early detection of clusters of Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area and their defeat, as was the case in Dimitrovo, are necessary to level the enemy’s combat potential.
12:30 Ukrainian Telegram channels report explosions in the Kharkov region.
12:20 Statement Head of the press center of the Center group:
In the Krasnolimansky direction, units of the Center group of troops inflicted fire on about 120 enemy targets, including more than 20 artillery positions and two strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

11:35 Vrem'evsky ledge. The army of the Russian Federation is completelybroke itthe situation in its favor and gradually regains its position on the bridgehead.
The enemy, at the cost of huge losses during the “counter-offensive,” penetrated about 10-12 kilometers into our defenses, forming a “protrusion” that our army is now successfully cutting off.

6 nuclear warheads on each Bulava missile that can effectively hit targets 8000km away. With delivery of 12 naval ships this year. The manufacturing of war materials in Russia is staggering. The bear is not to be messed with. Operation Barbarossa was to be a quick historically massive attack on Russia. Russia had huge losses of troops and equipment. Germany was denied marching into Moscow. Russia out produced Germany in troops and equipment. So in Ukraine Russia is going for total win as they did with Germany. No compromises here. Complete and total."On 24 February 2022, Russia undertook a full-scale attempt to seize the capital of Ukraine and to invade and occupy the country as a whole." Offers of compromise have passed.
A basic requisite for maintaining a civil society.
[Regnum] Chairman of the Constitutional Court (CC) Valery Zorkin said that the main thing in Russia from a legal point of view should be the equality of everyone in the state before the law and the court. He shared his opinion at the “Knowledge” society marathon, held at the “Russia” exhibition and forum.
“It would seem that we live by these rules, everything works. But when there are outbursts that highlight this obvious inequality, obvious, causing corruption, then, of course, this is projected onto the entire society and the state,” he noted.
The Chairman of the Constitutional Court recalled the high-profile case of the former chairman of the Rostov Regional Court, who repeatedly received bribes and persuaded colleagues to make “necessary” decisions. Zorkin said that a balanced approach is needed to combat corruption and other problems in the judicial system.
“How else can we consider this monstrous situation that happened in the Rostov court, when the chairman of the court headed, it must be said, the ethics commission in the council of judges,” said Valery Zorkin.
At the same time, he urged not to look for shortcomings in the judicial system and not to forget that the process of improving the work of law and the court is still taking place. He commented on criticism of the court that it was allegedly completely rotten. The Chairman of the Constitutional Court urged people to think about why, in this case, 35 million cases are being processed and people are asking for help.
“Therefore, it seems to me that we need to approach this matter carefully, carefully, and with an understanding of the matter. The Constitutional Court is also in this plane, to uphold the rights and equality of all before the law, the court, equality,” summed up the head of the Constitutional Court.
