"Right behind this wall, under this flag sit the very murderers, the reason for the war in Ukraine" - a video with these words was published in autumn 2023 on Instagram by an instructor from Karachay-Cherkessia, Taulan Kipkeyev. A criminal case was initiated against him under the article on military fakes motivated by hatred or hostility.

He wrote: "I took the beginning of the war very hard. I immediately started to make publications and talk about this injustice! But I was silenced with threats. But now - enough is enough! I am tired of living in fear and anxiety! I want to talk about my thoughts and feelings!"

Taulan worked as an instructor in mountaineering and alpine skiing and organized treks in the Caucasus mountains. In March 2021, Kipkeyev nearly lost his eyesight and frostbitten hands while rescuing hikers during a storm on Mount Elbrus.

It is unknown where Kipkeyev is now, according to the Russian media. A criminal case against him was opened on April 25.
