A Circassian united organization, May21 has started a new campaign in which they are asking “Where is Circassia?”. During their recorded calls to the Russian Embassy in the United States, one of the embassy employees confirms that Chechnya is a dangerous place.

Even with the huge media campaigns and billions of dollars spent, the reality inside of the Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria cannot be hidden. Frequently, human rights defenders expose the ongoing war in Chechen territory. However, this time, an employee of the Russian Embassy in the United States confirms these realities during a phone conversation as warning to the speaker on the telephone.

Here is the text of the telephone conversation:

Embassy Worker: You have reached the Consulate General of the Russian Federation.
Speaker: Who is speaking?
Embassy Worker: Mmm… This is the Russian Embassy.
Speaker: Oh very good. Okay, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer for me.
…
Embassy Worker: How do you spell it?
Speaker: Circassia. It is C-I-R-C-A-S-S-I-A.
Embassy Worker: Just a moment.
