Court supports woman from Grozny in her dispute with Chechen MIA

In Grozny, a court granted a request of Grozny resident Malkan Radueva, whose parents were deported in 1944, and obliged the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue her a certificate of rehabilitation as a victim of political repression.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in 2011, the mourning events related to the deportation of the Vainakh people were moved in Chechnya from February 23 to May 10, the date of Akhmat Kadyrov’s funeral. In 2020, on the Defender of the Fatherland Day, a rally in memory of the victims of repression was held in Grozny, in which Ramzan Kadyrov and other officials took part. In 2022, Ramzan Kadyrov dedicated to the 78th anniversary of the deportation of the Vainakh people only posts on social media.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) refused Malkan Radueva to issue a certificate of rehabilitation, since the woman was born after the decree on the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush Republic, which means that she was not subjected to repression, the “Kavkaz.Realii”* reports.

Malkan Radueva explained that even after the decree on the end of the deportation, her parents could not leave Kazakhstan, where they lived as special settlers until they were completely released and allowed to return to their homeland.
