The State Duma of Russia is concerned that in Adygea, one of Western film companies, want to shoot a film about Russian-Caucasus war 19th century.

The authorities of Russia are convinced that a film about the Caucasian war could "undermine the stability in Russia".

According to REGNUM, on October 23 State Duma Deputy Sergei Obukhov (CPRF) reported that the puppet authorities of Adygea sounded the alarm in connection with \"a provocation against the upcoming inter-ethnic peace and accord in the South of Russia.

Obukhov said that some foreign film company "is trying to shoot a film in the Krasnodar Territory about the Caucasian War, the implementation of the their script will inevitably lead to the incitement of ethnic hatred and instability in the North Caucasus."

At the same time Moscow announced that the authors of the film "distort historical truth."

"It is not only the distortion of historical truth. Such episodes, and in such scale never took place in the western sector of Caucasian war"- said Obukhov. "But even the fact of the involvement of large numbers of citizens to shoot the scenes of carnage involving many thousands of units, whether Cossacks or Circassians - a serious destabilizing factor" -says Obukhov.

However, during the Russian-Caucasian War in the 19 century, Circassians lost up to 90 % of their population. A whole ethnic group of Circassians, for example, Ubyhs, completely disappeared.

Also the Circassians fought against the Russian occupants for 5 years after the fall of the Imamate of Shamil.
