Protestors clamor against Russian soldiers arbitrary behaviour in Starye AtagiRuslan Isayev, North Caucasus – Several hundred people from the Starye Atagi village stood on the road from Grozny to Shatoi on Monday to protest the highhandedness of Russian soldiers and members of other forces operating in the republic.
The reason behind this demonstration was an armed incident that took place last Friday between Russian soldiers and the police or some security forces on the outskirts of the village.
After the incident, the soldiers shot eight cows, loaded them onto a truck and before driving away, arrested two Dagestani shepherds. However, it is not entirely clear what actually triggered this incident.
The protestors clogged the road and shouted anti-Russian slogans before local officials finally appeared an hour later and promised to investigate the matter.
