Alan Sanakoev, an ‘activist’ with the Caucasian Community (‘Kavkazskaya Obshchina’), an online community advocating for the ‘protection of morality’, has published several videos criticising tour guides and fitness trainers after months of silence. He called local tour guides ‘male prostitutes’ and described their videos as disgraceful. He accused fitness trainers’ blogs of promoting vulgarity and said he had filed a complaint against them with the Culture Ministry. The Caucasian Community previously made headlines for publicising the personal details of North Ossetian women, calling for reprisals against them over what it described as ‘inappropriate behaviour’. The Telegram channel itself was blocked in July 2026 shortly after famed journalist and socialite Ksenia Sobchak publicly appealed to North Ossetian Head Sergei Menyailo. Telegram сhannel targeting women blocked after Ksenia Sobchak’s appeal Previous appeals to law enforcement had failed to produce any results. OC Media Elizaveta Chukharova ‘Who are these guides who perform such things? These groomed, combed boys, with pretty beards, who film reels of themselves for instagram, so that more people watch them, who are they?’, Sanakoev says in the video. ‘I’m saying, you all need to be dealt with, yea? We’ll take care of you […] you’re all male prostitutes’. In a follow-up clip, Sanakoev warns, ‘Don’t provoke us, because it will be worse, much worse. Pack your things and get out of our republic’. The video features clips from what appears to be a tour guide driving a car while singing ‘I’m beautiful’ with women. The Telegram channel Mash Gor, which is considered close to law enforcement, has referred to Sanakoev as the Caucasian Community’s ‘new leader’ following the group’s blocking. Commenting on his latest video, Mash Gor called Sanakoev an ‘alpha dog’ on a ‘warpath against tour guides and fitness trainers’. Kavkazskaya Obshchina appeared in early 2026, presenting itself as a movement defending ‘traditional values’. Its authors published photographs and personal information about women from North Ossetia, accusing them of ‘bringing shame upon their ancestors’ because of their clothing, dancing, tattoos, work as models, or photographs posted on social media. In addition to Karina Kodzaeva, those targeted included dance school director Diana Pogorelova , entrepreneur Alana Sontse, and other women. The channel repeatedly urged relatives to ‘deal with’ the women, demanded public apologies, and proposed humiliating punishments. It also targeted men who expressed feminist views or criticised double standards applied to people’s behaviour in the North Caucasus. Earlier in 2026, the movement’s Instagram account was hacked by a group of anonymous activists, who renamed it There Is No Place for Bullying in the Caucasus. They subsequently began publishing information about the organisers of the harassment campaign against women and called for an end to public intimidation. The activists also demanded apologies from public figures who had supported the self-styled ‘guardians of morality’ and said they intended to seek accountability for those responsible for organising such campaigns.
