Telegram blocked the "Caucasian Community" channel after calls for violence against women.

The "Caucasian Community" channel has been blocked by Telegram due to violations of the messenger's rules following threats of violence. There has been no public response from the head of North Ossetia, Sergey Menyaylo, to journalist Ksenia Sobchak's appeal to him.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", journalist Ksenia Sobchak recorded a video appeal to the head of North Ossetia, Sergey Menyaylo, in which she demanded to respond to the calls for violence against women by members of the "Caucasian Community" and investigate its activities, as well as block the channel on Telegram. One of today's publications concerned Sobchak — a video was published showing a girl resembling the journalist, who was unconscious, being carried by several men.

The Telegram messenger blocked the "Caucasian Community" channel after its administrator began threatening blogger Karina Kodzaeva due to a video in which she danced in a tank top and without a bra, writes "Lenta.ru".

"This channel is unavailable as it violated Telegram's rules," says the message that appears when trying to access the channel's address.

There are at least five other channels with similar names on Telegram, none of which have been updated in recent days or discussed this topic. The most popular one has 50 subscribers, as checked by "Caucasian Knot".

As of 22:35 Moscow time, the head of North Ossetia Sergey Menyaylo has not publicly commented on Sobchak's appeal to him in his Telegram channel.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that on October 30, 2024, Dagestani blogger and fighter Gadji Khanmagomedov reported on social media about his detention after he published a video proposing to create a "Caucasian Community".

At the same time, analysts previously surveyed by "Caucasian Knot" indicated that due to the state's self-removal from regulating interethnic relations, Russian Muslims have often faced oppression from the nationalist movement "Russian Community".
