Yaacov, I have already answered that same question several times, most recently in the post to which you were
(supposedly) responding:

I never said that the Kabardins lived around the Azov Sea; if they
had, they could have built a fort there themselves. They wanted Ivan IV to build it (because the Turks had
penetrated into the area), which is why they were willing to swear allegiance to the Russian Tsar (for the
time being, of course) if he would do it.

Now, please, don't repeat the question again, okay?

The President of Ingushetia, Ruslan Aushev, has denounced Russia's closure of Chechnya's western border to fleeing refugees.
Hundreds are queuing up at the border, to try to escape Russian bombardments and a widely-feared attack on the Chechen capital, Grozny.

"These people now have no way of getting out of Chechnya," Mr Aushev said.

"I am outraged by these actions. We should not be fighting with women, grandfathers and children," he told the French news agency.
