Alaudinov agreed to join the Board of Trustees of the "Russian Community South"

The head of the special forces "Akhmat" met with representatives of the association "Russian Community Anapa South", discussing with them, in particular, the organization of patriotic camps in Kuban and agreed to join the board of trustees of the organization.

The head of the special forces "Akhmat" Apti Alaudinov reported on his Telegram channel about a meeting with members of the public association "Russian Community South" operating in Anapa and adjacent settlements of the Krasnodar Territory. "By the way, it has completely left the well-known Russian Community and is already a separate organization," Alaudinov noted.

"God willing, we will do everything together to ensure that everyone in our country is united, friendly and happy," he said in a video published on August 15.

"The Russian Community Anapa South" (this is how the name is written in the association's Telegram channel - note by "Caucasian Knot") published a message following the meeting with Alaudinov, indicating that the topics discussed included the preservation of Russia's historical values, the specifics of the development of a modern multi-confessional society, the role of horizontal communications in strengthening public order, issues of nationalism and patriotism, as well as the organization of patriotic camps in the Krasnodar Territory based on the model of the "Friendship of Peoples" project.

"An important outcome of the meeting was the proposal of the Russian Community "South" to Apti Aronovich to join the organization's Board of Trustees. We highly appreciate the verbal consent received. Lieutenant General," the message says.

The Telegram channel of the "Russian Community" says that ""Russian Community" South" has no relation to the real "Russian Community". "A long time ago, some of its members were there, but later they were kicked out of the RO," the message from August 16 says.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that the head of the "Akhmat" special forces, Apti Alaudinov, demanded an apology from blogger and MMA fighter Max Divnich for denigrating the "Akhmat" special forces and Alaudinov himself by including a fighter of Chechen origin who started the conflict in Lugansk in the "Akhmat" special forces. Later, Alaudinov stated about the need to toughen punishment for inciting ethnic hatred. The actions of Divnich, who is close to the Russian Community, can hardly be called extremist, and the reaction to his statements by the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apti Alaudinov, who demanded toughening the punishment for inciting ethnic hatred, is rather an attempt to remain in the information field, analysts noted.

Divnich published a video about the conflict in the Luhansk basin on his Telegram channel. According to him, he came into conflict with Chechen serviceman Alikhan Bersayev, because he behaved inappropriately towards girls. The blogger also stated that he introduced himself as a fighter of the Akhmat special forces. In one of the published videos, which the "Caucasian Knot" does not post due to the abundance of foul language, a participant in the conflict shouts: "You will still find out what "Akhmat" is."
