As for the information company about the assassination attempt against Osmaev and Okuev.

Here, it seems to me, everything is obvious. This information company is an obvious thrown in by Russian special services. You can calculate those who work for them by the degree of participation in the promotion of this company. The office clearly threw all the forces there, I do not consider the risks of exposure. Panfilov's participation surprised me.

As for the very Okuyeva. I can not say anything about her role in the activity of the battalion. Johara Dudaeva, how much she really took part in the battles, her role in the actual collapse of the battalion, what she and Osmaev commanders - I do not have data. And it does not matter now. I will only note that all the time Chechens are fighting and fighting, all of them, both the opposition and the Kadyrovites, so I would not accept any accusations of faith without detailed study, but, I repeat, it does not matter.

About its origin. This issue has become central in recent days in discussions around her name, and in propaganda outbursts, and in discussions, the poet will also touch upon his. As far as I can understand: the Ukrainian mother of Polish roots. About the father: sort of like her version, the real father is a Chechen, and Nikiforov adopted her, but most likely she is not a Chechen about the origin, Nikiforov (Russian) and is the father. Accepted Islam, joined in the resistance, apparently under the influence of her first husband. She considers herself to be a Chechen, Russian women are characterized psychologically by identifying themselves with the husband's kind, which is usually.

It is more interesting how Chechens discuss its purity of blood. It is interesting to me as an ethnologist. Because for the Caucasus it has always been characteristic, as I called it "a model of floating ethnicity".

Ethnicity was often chosen by the individual himself, could change several times throughout life, whole groups (auls, clans) freely passed from one ethnic self-identity to another, the issue of purity of blood never stood. Ethnicity in the Caucasus had its own special nature, different from Europe and from Russia, and from the Arab-Muslim or Turkic world.

This is a feature of the Caucasian phenomenon, which provided the originality and stability of the Caucasus for thousands of years.

Now it is eroded, not only among the Chechens. All the practically peoples of the North Caucasus have talked about the purity of blood and so on, this is one of the examples. What is an example of a more general phenomenon - the degradation of the Caucasian traditional culture and Russification.
