Grozny residents complain they are being forced to clean up Orthodox cemeteries

Chechen authorities attract employees of budgetary organizations to clean up Christian cemeteries, residents of Grozny told the "Caucasian Knot".

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in late March, the republic's leadership announced a month of so called subbotniks in Chechnya when organizations and agencies are obliged at their own expense to clean up and to put the territories allocated to them in order.

The Chechen state servants involved in subbotniks of cleaning streets of Grozny and other large dwelling settlements told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that they are also involved in cleaning up the debris and bringing Orthodox Christian cemeteries into proper order.

"Earlier, during subbotniks we were forced to clean up streets; now they've sent us to clean up cemeteries: we removed garbage from graves, cut bushes, and painted fences. We must do it, otherwise they promise problems," said Abu, an employee of one of the ministries.
