Abstract
The article deals with the specifics of carrying out military mobilization activities in the Chechen-Ingush ASSR on the eve and at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. The author believes that the decision to terminate the conscript of Chechens and Ingush for military service in the Red Army in the spring of 1942 was not due to the revealed serious violations in the mobilization process, but to a series of difficulties that poorly trained conscript soldiers with poor Russian language proficiency experienced adapting in multinational military teams. The language barrier, the difference in domestic habits and religious differences required a certain amount of time to achieve psychological compatibility between fighters of different nationalities. At the same time, the resulting interethnic tensions were only a by-product of organizational turmoil in the first period of the war. This conclusion is underpinned by the fact that besides the Vainakhs, indigenous people of all union republics and autonomous entities of the Caucasus and Central Asia ceased to be recruited to the army.
