Ingush leader says program encouraging Russians to return failed

Ingush Leader Yunus-Bek Yevkurov said told Valery Korovin, a science consultant of the working group for a report on the Russian factor in the North Caucasus and deputy head of the Center for Conservative Studies of the Sociological Faculty of the MSU, that the program encouraging Russians to return to the republic had failed.

The program was initially passed for frauds and theft of its funds, he explains. Frauds were made in a form of marriages with Russian women who had left Ingushetia long ago. Such families received apartments and finances.

The main goal in order for the Russian population to return is enforcement of security, Yevkurov emphasizes.

He reminded that Chechnya had a program for housing construction for refugees. It got about 4 billion rubles of the federal budget.
