ADYGEIYA, October 20, Caucasus Times, – The demonstration organized by the regional branch of Russian Association of employees of nonproductive labor unions came October 20, at 10 a. m. in Maikop in spite of the downpour. The protest action has taken place across the nation. Here in Maikop over 1,5 thousand rallied at the plaza of Lenin under the banners of former Soviet Union. No Russia’s state flag has been noticed around.

Delegates from all nine districts of the republic arrived in Maikop to take part in the protest action. There were largely services workers, teachers, doctors and culture institutions employees at the plaza. Only a few local lawmakers attended the demonstration and no representative of the executive power. Besides, the communists appeared to be the only political party at the meeting who came with their traditional red banners to support protesters. Local workers have expressed their solidarity with the teachers.

The resolution adopted at the meeting reads “the Russian Federation government policy has been aimed at the destruction of intellectual elite of the society.” The protesters demanded the pay raise twice as much by the end of this year and to double the salary since January, next year.

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.
