PRAGUE, 3 March, Caucasus Times. Chairman of the Human Rights Center “Memorial” Council, Member of “Memorial” Board of Directors Oleg Orlov commenting on the investigation of the case of the terrorist attack on Nalchik in October last year told CaucasusTimes that the authorities themselves help the terrorists to recruit new members.

“When I was in Kabardino-Balkaria, it became absolutely clear for me that the investigation had been conducted in an absolutely unacceptable manner. Those lawyers who were trying to honestly abide by their professional duties and legal norms were pushed aside the process of investigation under artificial and far-fetched pretexts”, – Oleg Orlov emphasized. In his opinion, it is absolutely clear now that large-scale terrorist underground movement in the North Caucasus area, which is not limited by Chechen borders any more, proclaimed an armed jihad against Russia.

“Terrorist underground movement is actively recruiting its supporters among Muslim believers from different North Caucasus republics who have a grudge against the authorities”, – Oleg Orlov pointed out.

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.
