Police apologize to Dagestani historian Donogo

The computer, flash drives, and mobile phone seized during the search were returned to Dagestani historian Khadji-Murad Donogo, but his books are still being checked. The historian noted that the police apologized to him.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that Khadji-Murad Donogo, the former deputy director of the National Museum of Dagestan, said that on November 30, 2022, the police seized books, flash drives, a mobile phone, and a computer with valuable historical materials. Law enforcers asked questions about his participation in scientific conferences in Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. According to Khadji-Murad Donogo, the seizure of the materials endangered his scientific work.
