| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] Shahri Amirkhanova, the granddaughter of the Dagestani poet Rasul Gamzatov, said she was proud to receive Israeli citizenship. This statement, made against the background of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, caused sharp criticism among VKontakte users. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, Muslims of the North Caucasus reacted sharply to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on October 28 that thousands of participants participated in prayers for the Palestinians. You can read about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.” At the same time, on October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. The criminal case of mass riots has been transferred to Moscow investigators. 201 people were detained for participation in the riots , administrative protocols were drawn up for 155 detainees, police reported on November 5. The granddaughter of the Dagestani poet Rasul Gamzatov, Shahri Amirkhanova, reported on social networks that she had received an Israeli passport and noted that she was surprised and proud of it, Vesti.Ru reports today. “Thank you for welcoming me with love in my new home,” the publication quotes Amirkhanova as saying. Gamzatov's granddaughter left Russia in February 2023; she was the editor-in-chief of the Russian versions of Tatler and Harper's Bazaar magazines, the publication writes. In July 2021, Vladimir Putin signed a decree to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Rasul Gamzatov in 2023. The "Caucasian Knot" published a biographical information about Rasul Gamzatov. The message that Gamzatov’s granddaughter has received Israeli citizenship was posted today in the “Atypical Makhachkala” community, which is subscribed to by 994 thousand VKontakte users. The authors of most comments condemned the act of the poet’s granddaughter. “Oh, [derogatory word], you still have to come back, and how will you look Dagestan in the eyes,” wrote, in particular, the user Murdered Soul . “One [offensive word] less,” said Arkady Davydov . “Another [offensive word] has left Dagestan,” wrote Muhammad Abu Khalid Muslim. “Stay there,” Zuri Azaeva wished Amirkhanova in absentia. “I could not speak, in fact, I changed and changed my citizenship, but here I declare on social networks, it looks like a provocation,” noted Rusik Gadjiev . “Well, war will always put everything in its place, who is a patriot and who is a traitor,” expressed the opinion of Arthur Gadzhimagomedov. “Well, how can we understand such Muslim women? Doesn’t she know how people die at the hands of the Israelis? She writes this brazenly, mockingly,” Patimat Magomedova was indignant. Let us recall that from October 26 to 29, mass anti-Semitic actions took place in the cities of three republics of the North Caucasus Federal District. In Cherkessk, protesters demanded that visitors from Israel not be allowed in, and in Nalchik a cultural center was set on fire. In Khasavyurt, Dagestan, hundreds of people gathered at a hotel after messages on social networks that there were refugees from Israel in this hotel, according to the Caucasian Knot report “ Anti-Semitic actions in the North Caucasus: how it happened .” The Caucasian Knot has also prepared a report entitled “ A Wave of Anti-Semitic Actions in the North Caucasus.” The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching a military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides . The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist, in particular, in the United States and the European Union. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg. |
