There are still many such people, although someone has already died without waiting for compensation for the lost housing. The houses of some of them in Chechnya quite well exist, only Chechens already live in them …

Before presenting a video from a meeting at which refugees talk about their disenfranchised position and their correspondence with St. Petersburg officials, here is a historical background. It clearly shows how the Bolshevik Jews in the 30s of the twentieth century squandered Russian lands in favor of the Caucasian peoples, who were at a low evolutionary level.

Historically, these lands have never belonged to the wild tribes of the highlanders

By the decision of the Organizing Bureau of the Central Committee signed by the chairman of the Central Executive Committee Y. Sverdlov In the fall of 1920, about 9 thousand families (or approximately 45 thousand people) of Terek Cossacks were evicted from a number of villages and deported to the Arkhangelsk province. The unauthorized return of the evicted Cossacks was suppressed. The freed up land was transferred to the mountainous Ingush and Chechen poor.

Already in 1920, the peasants of Checheno-Ingushetia were given part of the private plots and a significant amount of land taken from the Cossacks. Under the district revolutionary committees, including the Chechen one, land departments were created. Peasants-mountaineers, at the direction of V. I. Ulyanova-Blanca was assisted by seed material, food and manufactory. In 1920, Ingushetia alone received 48,843 tithes of land from Soviet power, on which 243 families were accommodated.

During 1921-1923, 5/6 of the population of mountainous Ingushetia moved to flat areas and received land plots there. In November 1920, the lands of the villages of Ermolovskaya, Romanovskaya, Samashkinskaya and Mikhailovskaya were transferred to Chechnya. The poor peasants resettled from the mountains were given funds for the construction of housing. All agricultural implements requisitioned from the Cossacks were transferred to their use. The Soviet government provided great assistance to the Chechen-Ingush peasantry during this period. In the summer of 1921, Chechnya received 30 wagons of flour from the central regions of the country, and in July 1922 it was allocated agricultural machinery.

In an effort to alleviate the situation of the resettled highlanders, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee adopted a decree on July 20, 1922, according to which they received a one-year agricultural tax relief. As a result of the measures taken, Chechnya already in 1921 and 1922 received 58,796 dessiatines of convenient for cultivation land, which housed 12,116 peasant farms. By 1923, the pre-revolutionary land area of Chechnya had increased by 110,400 dessiatines. By the beginning of 1923, Chechnya and Ingushetia received 164,295 dessiatines of convenient land. The lands transferred to Ingushetia were already completely inhabited by 1923, and in Chechnya by the end of 1923 about 33,000 dessiatines of lands were still unsettled. During 1924-1925, another 46,000 acres of land were allocated to Chechnya from state funds.
