Violence in Russia’s North Caucasus is on the rise. Since January 2004, CSIS has tracked, almost daily, violent incidents occurring in the North Caucasus. This new report, assembled by our staff, draws on our database. In particular, the report illustrates the rise in incidents from summer 2008.
The Human Rights and Security Initiative thanks past and present staff members for their work on this collective endeavor, and especially Matthew Malarkey for his dedication to the project. We hope to release an updated report later this winter.
