Chechen and Ingush Deportations

Opinion | Russia’s death train rolls through Chechnya and Ingushetia

Russia’s ‘victory train’ is a grotesque parody of the trains that took so many to exile and death.

Ramzan Kadyrov

Opinion | Kadyrov’s growing Apologystan 

When it comes to relations with neighbouring regions, Chechnya’s Ramzan Kadyrov acts with all the humbleness of a Sultan in a Turkish soap opera. 

Fierce, independent journalism

Let’s be honest, the media situation in the Caucasus is grim. Every day we are accused of ‘serving the enemy’ whoever that enemy may be. Our journalists have been harassed, arrested, beaten, and exiled. But nevertheless, we persevere. For us this is a labour of love. Unfortunately, we cannot run OC Media on love alone, journalism is expensive and funding is scarce. Our sole mission is to serve the interests of all peoples of the region. You can support us today for as little as $1 a month and join us in the fight for a better Caucasus.
