The Caucasus is the natural border of Russia. High mountains for centuries guarded the country from the armed expansion of Iran and Turkey. Arabs were also stopped in these mountains, carrying the green banner of the prophet with fire and sword.

About the slogan "Stop feeding the Caucasus"
The Caucasus is a geographical region in the south of Russia, mainly mountainous. About a hundred small nations live on this territory, some of which are in a state of smoldering armed conflict with each other. The conquest of the Caucasus by Russia lasted several centuries and began with the foundation by the Cossacks of Tsar John the Terrible military fortress in the tract Mozdok. The conquest of the mountain peoples was very bloody, and some of them are still fighting for their independence.
The Caucasus clearly separates Europe from Asia, so it serves as a clash of civilizations, today the Christian and Muslim worlds collide there.
In Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria, a guerrilla war is actually going on. The population of the Caucasus is very militant, and Caucasians often arrange skirmishes with representatives of the local Russian population. In this regard, the slogan of the National Democrats “Stop feeding the Caucasus” has recently become popular. Opposition forces proposed the release of Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan from Russia, leaving only the peoples loyal to the Russians. However, this proposal provoked indignation not only among those in power, but also among the inhabitants of the Caucasus themselves, who considered it irresponsible and even stupid.
