The Russian representative said that the problem reached critical proportions and in particular in the Republics of Chechnya and Ingushetia, adding: "There is a slight decline, but we have a problem in the national republics. Production has declined, especially in the defense industry and the Russians in particular are leaving their jobs. We are now in the process of preparing an extensive letter to Your Excellency on this issue, hoping that we get you to make the industry in our hands in those national republics, and not to let Russians (leave the Caucasus)”.

Ustinov said he hoped that the development of construction field would form in parallel with the Olympic Games, which will be held in Sochi in 2014, a solution to the unemployment problem, adding: "There are many unemployed builders in our national republics, and we hope that we will be better off from construction works that will be undertaken in the Olympics framework”.
