In Chechnya, they are officially finishing work on a code of conduct for young people. It is developed not only for Caucasians, but also for Russians. The authorities of the neighboring republics, in turn, were skeptical of such an initiative, arguing that there are quite enough Russian laws.The Chechen Ministry of National Politics, Press, and Information, together with the nationalist and leader of the Russian movement, Dmitriy Demushkin, officially finish the work on a code of conduct for Chechen youth. Initially, the information about this was perceived as a rumor. The statements of Demushkin about his collaboration with the leadership of Chechnya, which spread quickly on the web, surprised Russia and stirred up the Caucasus. Confirmed information only in mid-January.
We must submit a ready memo to our minister by the end of January. The fact is that we do not need to write it, and this is not a “code of Caucasian youth”, but a code for Chechen youth, and if someone from the neighboring republics wishes to adopt it, we will not object. In principle, the Caucasians have the same customs, the code of honor, the so-called, it has existed for thousands of years for the Chechens, a lot has been written about this, and we want to put it together, adapt it to today's realities and give it to young people. Because many do not know how to behave.
Islam Saydayev, Head of the Department for Work with Public and Religious Associations of the Ministry of Chechnya on National Politics, Press and Information, SmartNews Saigaev also called the basic rule - respect for elders, not only in the republic, but also abroad. The code will be intended not only for residents of the republic, but also for those who live outside its borders. The memo is specially developed together with Demushkin, said the source, because his opinion is very important for compilers. It is no secret that most conflicts occur with the participation of nationalist groups.
His opinion is very important to us, because those tensions that arise in the regions of Russia, they are associated with representatives of nationalist groups, we would like to know what is not comfortable, and include these points in our code. We want to be useful in order to remove the friction that arises, and in this case, it is necessary to take into account the opinions of all parties, engaging him as an expert will give a positive result, there is nothing wrong with that.

The leader of the Russian movement is not sure that the necessary practical sense will be from the code.
We understand that this piece of paper will not give anything by itself, the memo does not bear any legal force, it does not have the force of law, we hope that the first persons will sign it, but this is more like a recommendation, it does not offend anyone or offend.
Dmitry Demushkin, leader of the Russian movement, SmartNews He confirmed that no one will be punished for not following the rules, because more effective measures have been taken in the Caucasus. The code will be useful for resolving conflicts, as it will rely on.
In the Caucasus, the concept of sanction is somewhat different, much more painful is the conviction of relatives of relatives and the authorities, rather than some kind of judicial sanction. Believe me, they know how to influence their youth without any judicial sanctions, a call to the grandfather can be more effective, or a conversation with the mufti of the village.
Dmitry Demushkin, leader of the Russian movement, SmartNews Well, if you do something like this, it is better in the form of some cultural brochure. They say that in Moscow, St. Petersburg and similar cities people communicate with each other in this or that way, it is accepted by them, but this is not very good. Such brochures are published on various nations of the world. About ten years ago I read with great interest a whole series of books like “These Weird Germans”, “These Weird French”, “These Weird Japanese”, etc. They wrote them in Britain, they are called ironically in the original, like “Xenophobe Guide the Greeks. " You can write such a book not only about Russians for Caucasians, but also about Caucasians for Russians. I am sure that both such books will become bestsellers. Theme - nowhere hot.

The head of Ingushetia Yunus-Bek Yevkurov managed to speak out against the creation of the code. The authorities of Dagestan also spoke out against. Permanent Representative of the Republic under President Haji Makhachev called this initiative "wrong flirting with the nationalists."
The code of conduct - not for Caucasians, but in general for the people, as a whole for the country - these are laws. We must strictly abide by the laws. If you steal, go to jail. If violated - answer. If relapse means relapse We don’t need any codes, we don’t need to figure out how to behave. Are we savages or something?

Meanwhile, according to the head of the human rights center “Memorial” Oleg Orlov, it is “funny” to write such a code with the participation of Demushkin.
The strongest in all this stories - the, that Caucasians will learn Demushkin. It's generally awesome fun. Such an extremely radical nationalist will teach the people of the North Caucasus something. The idea, in my opinion, is initially doomed to meaningless existence, because such a document will not bring any real consequences, apart from PR of several figures.
Oleg Orlov, head of the Memorial Human Rights Center, kommersant.ru The reaction of local to the development of a code is ambiguous. More people agree that the state is obliged to regulate relations between nations by normative acts, but not unilaterally.
At work, I drive in Russia. The son is also studying in Krasnodar. As it happens, they immediately say to him in the university, they say, leave for your Chechnya, study there. We 20 years ago had a good faculty. Yesterday’s graduates mainly teach. And this is not our fault. Why do I have to call up with my son two or three times every day and worry about him? Why does he need to carry a piece of paper in his pocket with prescriptions, how to act in one or another situation? If there is an inter-ethnic problem, then the authorities should talk about it, discuss it with all parties, and not expose Caucasians as the cause of all the troubles in Russia. Vaughn, the Uzbek janitor hit the boy, and now he is being tried. The entire courtyard of the residents stands up for his janitor, but no, we must punish the "chock" so as not to beat our boy. Why then in Russia there is the Criminal Code, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prosecutor's office, the Investigation Committee, the FSB, who can not stop the "uncontrolled" citizens, whether Caucasians or Russians. Violated - must answer. We are all Russians.

I come from the Vedeno district. Spent his childhood and youth there. In our family, we were very jealous of the customs and traditions of our people, the word of parents was law for us. Neither I needed, nor my grandchildren need any written rules of behavior. Absorbed them with mother's milk. But many representatives of youth behave unworthily, disgrace their people. For them, such a code is really necessary.

It became known that the developers of the code of conduct proposed to include in the document information that will teach young people from Russia to behave correctly in the Caucasus. According to public initiators, the most mundane situations in life can be completely different from each other, they occur in Moscow or Grozny. And the consequences in case of ignorance of certain traditions in the Caucasus can be very different.
These are recommendations for people coming to a foreign cultural environment how to behave in order to overcome cultural shock. Believe me, a Muscovite, getting into the mountainous Dagestan or the Chechen aul, also has no idea how to behave.

If such regulations will have some practical meaning, then they probably will really be a good judge, because the main problem of Russia is that we seem to live in one country, but at the same time are so blinkered that it is sometimes even scary, we live in our cocoon, not wanting to know either the traditions or the cultures of each other, we can only make fun and blame.
