Address to the Caucasian people - Boris Yeltsin


On May 18, 1994, the President of Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin published the address to the North Caucasian people (“Address to the Caucasian people”), where he recognized justice of struggle of Circassian (adygean) people for freedom and independence in the XIX cent. The document condemned the policy of genocide, held by Russian Empire.

This recognition did not entail the efficient steps from the Russian authorities to suppress the results of this crime; the question of repatriation of the displaced persons to the homeland has not been raised on the state level.
