On the Independence Day of Poland on November 11th, 2014 the Circassian activists from 10 countries sent a letter to the leaders of that country with a request to recognize the Circassian genocide that was committed by the Russian Empire during and after the war in 1763-1864. This document had 52 signatures of Russian Federation's citizens. Those are the people from historical Circassia, diasporas in Turkey, Jordan, Germany, France and other countries.  It was the international organization called "Patriots of Circassia" who were the initiator of the appeal, headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. The appeal was composed on two languages – Polish and Circassian, translated into Turkish, English and Russian. Those texts were not shown publicly anywhere on the website or in any of social networks to attract more support, the collection of signatures was possible only from ...

February, 2014
Today, Friday, the 7th
of February, 2014, marks the start of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi which
will include sports and other activities that will last for 14 days; but
Circassians stand to mourn and condemn the sad event which is adopted and supported
by the Russian state, regardless of all ethical, historical and environmental
worries and concerns.

capital city of Circassia, being the last Circassian stronghold during a 101-year

WORLD NEWS 01.27.14 Putin's Criminal Olympics In a blockbuster report released today, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny details the waste, fraud, and mismanagement behind the most expensive Olympics ever. It was inevitable that Alexey Navalny would do something big with the Olympics. The opposition leader famous for his anti-graft muckraking—and put on show trial for bogus "embezzlement” charges—couldn’t let the biggest racket in Russian history pass without his own peal-back of corporate cronyism, cost inflation, and outright criminality.
