Firstly, Ingushetia is involved in an extremely difficult conflict with neighbouring North Ossetia about the territory of Prigorodny, the suburb, and parts of the North-Ossetian capital Vladikavkaz, which had been given to North Ossetia while the entire Ingush people lived in forced exile in Central Asia.
While the Russian Federation generally is in a deep economic crisis, the crisis in Ingushetia is overwhelmingly due to heavy fighting in Prigorodny and a subsequent flood of refugees living in freight containers.
Ingushetia is accusing these troops of siding with the Ossets, since all Ingush were driven out while the Russian troops were present.

 Music
The actual definition of music is hotly contested, and sounds accepted as music vary according to historical era and culture, but it is usually held that the sounds must at least be consciously organized, either by an individual or a group.
Music can be performed by a single musician, or several may band together to form a musical ensemble such as a rock band or orchestra.
The rise of the Bakersfield Sound was a popular example of a roots revival in folk music, in which artists and audiences revitalize the traditional music forms of their ancestors, generally as a reaction against dilution of the original culture for mainstream acceptance.

According to Rechmenskii, the principle characteristics of Chechen music include: downward moving harmonic lines, alternative triple and duple rhythmic patterns, statement of the melody in the middle voice of three voice harmonies, and frequent shifting between modes.
Few of the characteristic aspects of Chechen folk music identified by Rechmenskii are discernable in “Mother's Lament.” Instead, dense, thickly-voiced chords, tonal progressions and elaborate accompaniment lines indicate a conservative neo-classical style.
The fact that there were not any folklore-gathering expeditions in Chechnya and Ingushetia between 1935 and 1959 demonstrates that Stalin and his government were not interested in preserving the folk traditions of these people; indeed, the wholesale deportation of these groups in 1944 proved that their identity and cultural traditions were perceived as a threat.
