Editor

INGUSHETIA, October 28, Caucasus Times – By the end of the this year, the construction of an Orthodox church in Ordzhonikidzevskaya village of Sunzhensky district in Ingushetia will be completed.

The construction of this new Orthodox church was intended by the government of the republic to ensure the Russian population return to Ingushetia, the district administration said in an interview with the Caucasus Times correspondent.

“This church building is going to be essentially different of the old church,” says Andrei, a builder contracted for the project. “Firstly, the new temple will be twice above the old one, the overall height to the top of cupola cross will be about 27 meters. According to design the church is expected to be much more specious than the old one.”

The construction of Orthodox Church turned out an event for the Russian orthodox believers of Ingushetia. “There have been only two small churches in the republic thus far, one in Ordzhonikidzevskaya village and a dilapidated church in Troitskaya village of Suzhensky district of Ingushetia. Actually, we are very exited by the news that the new church is going to be build,” says a local Russian woman Antonina Samoilova. “During the most significant Orthodox religious services lots of Christian believers even from the neighboring Chechnya used to come here and there was no room in the old church,” the local woman said.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
