[KavkazUzel] In Leninaul, despite agreements with the authorities, a Chechen mosque built in the 19th century has been demolished, village residents said.
As the "Caucasian Kno" wrote, the Aukhovsky district, where the Chechen-Akkintsy lived compactly, was liquidated in 1944 after Stalin's deportation of the Chechens and Ingush. In the northwestern part of the district's territory, the Novolaksky District was formed, this part was populated by Laks from the mountainous part of Dagestan,
and the southeastern part of the district was transferred to the neighboring Kazbekovsky District together with the villages of Yurt-Aukh and Aktash-Aukh and populated by Avars
from the neighboring village. Thirteen years later, in 1957, the Akkin Chechens, like the rest of the deported Vainakh peoples, were allowed to return to their historical homeland.
The deportation of the Vainakhs is directly linked to the unresolved issue of the rights of the Chechens of Dagestan, who have been waiting for the restoration of the Aukhovsky District for almost 30 years, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "The Main Thing About Aukh: What the Chechens Demand from the Dagestan Authorities."
A video recording of Chechens complaining about the demolition of a mosque in the village of Leninaul in the Kazbekovsky district of Dagestan was published on the Instagram Aktash-Aukh public page.
The video shows three men standing in front of a building and a tractor.
"We are standing on the spot where the old Chechen mosque stood, built by the Chechens of the village of Aktash-Aukh. This is confirmed by the census, which was conducted by the tsarist authorities in 1885, 1889 ( the first and only census of the Russian Empire took place on January 28 (February 9), 1897 - note from the "Caucasian Knot"). It is indicated there that there are four functioning mosques in the village of Aktash-Aukh. The one located here was one of these quarter mosques," said one of the men in the recording.
According to him, the Chechens "have repeatedly appealed to all authorities" to "preserve our historical memory." He reported that a meeting was held on May 7, at which an agreement was reached that the mosque would not be built for the time being, but it was already demolished on the morning of May 8.
At the end of the video there is a photograph of a small building with several cars parked near it.
The video was also posted on his Telegram channel by blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov. "The situation is tense. Neither Kadyrov nor any of his subordinates are interfering in any way or commenting on what is happening," he emphasized.
By 23:44 Moscow time, the Telegram channels of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov, the Commissioner for Human Rights in Chechnya Mansur Soltayev, and the head of the Chechen Ministry of Nationalities Akhmed Dudayev did not contain any comments in connection with the demolition of the mosque.
Let us recall that the restoration of the Aukhovsky district, which was planned to be completed by 2025, has actually been stopped for many years, the resettlement of the Laks and the construction of new houses have been disrupted, Dagestani activists state.
February 23, 2025 marked 81 years since the beginning of Stalin's deportation of the Vainakhs. At a rally dedicated to this date, Chechen Prime Minister Magomed Daudov voiced a demand to return housing in the former Aukhovsky District of Dagestan to the descendants of the repressed. A mourning rally with the participation of more than 500 people was also held on February 23 in the village of Novokuli in the Novolaksky District of Dagestan.
