Kalimatov reported on the reconciliation of blood feuds.

In Ingushetia, 40 family conflicts were resolved in 2025, including six cases of blood feuds, according to the head of the republic, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," commissions have been created under municipal administrations to reconcile participants in conflicts based on blood feuds and domestic disputes, Ingush authorities reported in January 2024. According to their data, in 2023, the Ingush authorities and clergy resolved more than 30 such conflicts. In March 2024, Kalimatov announced the resolution of 13 family conflicts since the beginning of the year.

The tradition of blood feud, which developed under the clan system to protect the honor and property of the clan, still functions as a relevant social mechanism in the North Caucasus. According to this custom, the relatives of the murdered person must take revenge on the killer or his family, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Blood Feud - How They Kill in the Caucasus Now."

In 2025, Ingushetia managed to reconcile the participants of 40 conflicts, including six cases of blood feud, the head of the republic, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov, reported on his Telegram channel on January 13. "This is a significant result, backed by the enormous work of religious leaders, elders, and community representatives who work daily to reconcile people," he explained.

According to the head of Ingushetia, this system has proven its effectiveness. "Where previously words could give way to violence, today reason and respect are increasingly winning. People are finding the strength to forgive and bring peace back to families and communities. This speaks to the maturity of our society and the responsibility of those who lead local commissions," the publication states.

Kalimatov assured that support and development of reconciliation institutions will continue so that any disagreements are resolved peacefully, within the law and moral values.

As of 6:00 PM Moscow time, not a single comment had been posted under the Ingush leader's publication.

Several stories about blood Accounts of the revenge, as recounted by participants and eyewitnesses of the events, are presented in the article "Payment for Blood," published on the "Caucasian Knot."

As a reminder, conflicts between representatives of different teips and virds regularly occur in Ingushetia. For example, on July 13, 2025, a shootout occurred in Ingushetia, during which two people were wounded. One of the injured was Khamzat Chumakov, a security guard for the imam of the Nasyr-Korst district mosque in Nazran. Both wounded belong to the same Ingush teip, the Yevloyevs. The shootout was reported to have occurred following a verbal altercation on social media related to religious differences.

On August 19, 2023, in the Dzheyrakh district, a conflict and mass brawl broke out between members of the Kushtov and Vadelov teips over clan towers. Security forces arrived after a report of a public disturbance. They demanded that one of the men accompany them to the police station, after which he struck several times and fled. He was later arrested.

In September 2021, near the village of Gazi-Yurt in the Nazran district, a villager opened fire with a rifle during a conflict with other local residents. Four people were wounded and hospitalized. The conflict occurred between the Kostoyev and Katsiev clans, and sources say it stemmed from a long-standing feud. Following the incident, representatives of the Katsiev clan, to which the victims belonged, demanded that the instigators of the conflict leave Gazi-Yurt. The Kostoyev brothers, who carried out the shooting, are under state protection in a criminal case and have ties to security forces, a village resident told the "Caucasian Knot."
