The 2018-2019 protests in Ingushetia are thousands of people, initially unauthorized round-the-clock protest in Magas against the Agreement on Securing the Border Between Regions, signed by the head of Ingushetia Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov on 26 September 2018, as well as its ratification by the deputies of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Ingushetia. The protest began on 4 October 2018 and was declared indefinite. On the fifth day, the rally was sanctioned by the authorities until 15 October. The break of the round-the-clock protest lasted from 18 to 31 October 2018. The next rally took place on 27 November 2018, on the day of the consideration by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of the request of the head of the Republic of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, on the compliance of the Constitution of the Russian Federation with the Agreement on the Establishment of the Administrative Boundary between Ingushetia and Chechnya. After a four-month break on 26 March 2019, the rally in Magas was resumed and declared indefinite.
