So I get a press release from the Helsinki Commission with this headline:

INGUSHETIA: THE NEW HOT SPOT IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS

and I figure, cool! South Beach is so over, and Provence is too crowded — how do I get there? But then I read on to find out:

But the republic that has reverberated most tragically with the echoes of violence in Chechnya is Ingushetia, bordering directly on Chechnya’s west. It is here, Moscow claims, that Chechen partisans and Islamic radicals have established a second front to continue their insurgency against the Russian central government. However, many human rights advocates and Ingush activists charge that Moscow’s heavy-handed response has produced a wave of violence and lawlessness against innocent citizens that is exacerbating, rather than ameliorating, the situation.

Never mind.
