National liberation struggle of the Ingush people

The national liberation struggle of the Ingush people was a series of military clashes and uprisings of the Ingush people against the Russian Empire that colonized Ingushetia, as well as protest rallies and actions against the policies of the Russian Federation (in particular, against the discrimination of the Ingush people on national and linguistic grounds).

The Russian authorities have subjected the inhabitants of Ingushetia to persecution and repression for centuries. Several times the Ingush were forcibly evicted from their territories, which harmed their language, culture and national memory. In today's Russian Federation, Ingushetia is a depressed region with underdeveloped infrastructure and high unemployment.
