Derev, the mayor of the capital, Cherkessk, and a leader of the Cherkess minority, became a national martyr after losing to General Vladimir Semenov in last year's presidential elections.
Certainly, links can be traced between the Cherkessk mayor and Boris Akbashev, former president of the International Cherkes Association, as well as Nazir Khapsirokov, assistant to the General Prosecutor of the Russian Federation, Yuri Skuratov.
While the Cherkessk mayor's political rivals are openly casting aspersions on his Mercury drinks factory and the political activities of his two brothers, Vladislav and Khadzhi-Murat, Derev's former allies are beginning to sense that they may be backing the wrong horse.

The Cherkessk regime had poured considerable resources into the pre-electoral campaigns and dozens of state officials were charged with whipping up popular support.
When rival candidates complained that the use of bureaucratic muscle was illegal, the state functionaries promptly informed the electoral commission that they were on holiday at the time and were banging the electoral drum in an unofficial capacity.
The secretary of the Cherkessk Communist Party, Yuri Laskov, described the situation as "the struggle of ordinary voters against the power of the authorities".

The closing of the Mercury firm, the biggest enterprise in the Karachay- Cherkess Republic, prompted the residents of the capital Cherkessk to hold a rally and put forward political as well as economic demands.
The two candidates who gained the most votes, Stanislav Derev, the mayor of Cherkessk, and Gen Vladimir Semenov, an adviser to the Russian defense minister and native of the Karachay village of Khurzuk, moved ahead to the runoff election on May 16.
Stepashin declared that he would submit for the consideration of Igor Ivanov, chairman of the republic's People's Assembly (parliament), should be appointed acting head of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic to govern the republic pending a ruling on the legality or illegality of the elections for the head of Karachay-Cherkessia.

 ISN Security Watch - Karachai 'wahhabis' re-emerge as a threat
The republic’s capital of Cherkessk and other settlements saw an opening in the early 1990s, as the Karachai, who belong to the Turkic-languages group, and the Cherkess, who belong to the Iberian-Caucasian languages group, sought to make use of the newly found freedom of faith and speech.
When the Karachai were allowed to return to their homeland after Stalin’s death, they found that there was not a single functioning mosque in the republic’s capital of Cherkessk and a dire lack of mullahs and muftis to turn to.
And while the older generations had preserved the memory and rituals of traditional religion, the minds and souls of the younger Karachai were left with an ideological vacuum when the Soviet ideology faded away.

By Akhmat Ebzeyev in Cherkessk Karachai-Cherkessia was in ferment this week as thousands of people attended a rally calling for the resignation of Mustafa Batdyev, president of this North Caucasian republic, and all his ministers.
The protesters, who gathered in the capital Cherkessk on November 1, say Batdyev has failed to deal with a growing crisis involving the disappearance of seven men, in which his son-in-law has been implicated.
The demonstrators, who included relatives of the seven, said they would continue their protest until "all the guilty are punished".

It is the only place in Cherkessk where you can get a very decent salary by local standards (a worker gets 1500 new rubles a month), paid on time.
Today, his popularity rating in the republic is low: contrary to ethnic solidarity (Khubiev is an ethnic Karachai), 35 percent of the Karachais in the city voted for Derev, a candidate opposed by Khubiev, in the mayoral elections in Cherkessk.
Cherkessk is not a traditional home for Karachais, and it would be more logical to put such a monument up in, say, Karachaevsk.
