In Chechnya, participants of a domestic conflict apologized for their behaviour on a video posted on the Internet by another person. A woman from Vladikavkaz also had to apologize after her video was made public.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in the video with the apologies, the man explained that during the quarrel he was talking about a pistol ("tapchakh"), and not about the leader of the republic ("patchchakh," that is "padishah"). The repentance of the Chechen residents became at least the second public apology within two days, when the repentance was caused by the publication of the video, and not the act itself.

Earlier, on April 20, a video of a mass protest against the self-isolation regime in North Ossetia appeared on Telegram. "A crowd of loafers, disperse them!" says the woman who is filming the video, while addressing law enforcers.

On the other day, the author of the video apologized for her words. According to the woman, she was not planning to post the video on the Internet.

It should be noted that a resident of the Khambi-Irze village in the Achkhoi-Martan District also referred to the leakage of his video taken for friends. The man apologized for criticizing local officials for the help he received in the form of loaves of bread and five green tomatoes.
