Media has reported in recent days, that the “Caucasian” or “Muslim” fighters are interfering in Eastern Ukraine for the sake of the Russian interests.
Proxies such as the Russian local employees and officials are apparently behind the reputation which shows that Russia is using old practices with new dreams to show others that FSB is able to control Caucasian/Muslim fighters. The evidence is contrary to the real Russian policies regarding the use of the Islamic religion (Islamophobia) for its selfish benefits!
The Focus on the Chechen Factor and Ukraine
Various reports from Ukraine, Russia and Chechnya indicate that there is Chechen involvement in the military operations in Eastern Ukraine (http://www.npr.org/2014/05/20/314087662/the-secret-players-in-the-russia-ukraine-game), supporting the pro-Russians. At the same time, there is no confirmed number of Chechens in Ukraine, defending the Russian backed so-called rebels who are trying to secede from Ukraine in a similar way to what has happened in the Crimea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFeFNjc-0yE).
When Russia wants to get support on religious bases and plans to win Western sympathy, the problem for Russia and for the West is shown as if it is coming from Muslims or Islam, even though there is a long Russian history of political murders against politicians, journalists, and human rights activists both inside and outside Russia (http://larussophobe.wordpress.com/putinmurders/).
But if Russia wants to play the monster game with its neighbors and/or with the West, the Russian propaganda publishes that Muslim fighters or Islam would be deployed in battles to Russia’s side, but it is well-known fact that the Russian military forces have committed crimes against the Chechen and Ingush peoples, as it was published on “Prague Watchdog” in regard to Russian tradition of immoral “ritual behaviors”, consisting barbarian practices that had been common since the Tsarist military campaigns and wars against Caucasian nations including the Circassian people, such as burning and destroying the homes whether partially or completely, total military occupation, committing genocide, ethnic cleansing, deportation and beheadings of victims that had been eventually sent to museums and research centers as used to be performed by the criminal General, Zass during the Tsarist era (http://www.justicefornorthcaucasus.com/jfnc_message_boards/genocide_crime.php?entry_id=1307174818), then in “taking relatives hostage”, “compelling fathers and mothers publicly to repudiate their children”, and “when those children are killed, conducting a fanatical dance around their corpses and pulling the corpses by military vehicles, showing it all on television for greater effect – often for the eyes of the whole world” (http://www.watchdog.cz/?show=000000-000024-000005-000008&lang=1).
Where is the logic, when Russia declared that it was fighting Islam in Chechnya, Muslims were accused of causing explosions in certain Russian cities, whileaccording to confirmed sources, FSB managed to blow up residential buildings and apartments in certain locations in September, 1999, according to former KGB agent Litvinenko (who was later assassinated in London)? The second Russian-Chechen War had begun by Russian forces redeployment in Chechnya, in a campaign led by then, the Russian prime minister, Vladimir Putin; but human rights organizations had “expressed concern about human rights violations in Chechnya, including alleged torture and widespread detentions at the hands of Russian troops; concerns were fuelled by the discovery of a mass grave filled with Chechen mutilated bodies” (http://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6a86d8.html).
In reference to the first Russian-Chechen War (December, 1994 to August, 1996) it was resulted in a surprise Chechen landslide victory against the Russian invading military forces, regardless devastating Russian military operations that almost destroyed Grozny and other cities and towns, beside crimes committed against prisoners of war (http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/russians-accused-of-killing-prisoners-of-war/333816.html). The war couldn’t be won in Chechnya by Russia without the support from the West, and now it is using Islam as a monster in its imperial war in Ukraine!!!
Memorial Human Rights Center’s report on “disturbing parallels between the Crimea and Chechnya” focuses on similarity between crimes committed by Russian troops between 1994 and 2014 in Chechnya and Crimea, which indicates the meaningful proverb: “By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them” (http://hro.rightsinrussia.info/hro-org/ukraine-13).
The same way, when Russia proclaimed in its colonial, expansion and genocidal wars (http://www.circassian-genocide.com/) against Circassians and other Caucasian nations, that it was fighting a religious war against Muslims, which were given nasty names by its criminal Generals, while the same imperial Russia is fighting Christians now in Ukraine, and had fought Christians in Georgia in the summer of 2008, let alone the deportation of millions (http://www.red-channel.de/the_real_stalin_deportation.htm) from the Caucasus and the Crimea nations by the Soviet Communist authorities (https://www.google.com/search?q=soviet+deportation+of+the+chechen-ingush+and+the+crimean+tatars&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=fNeUU5jCFsWd7QaBlYC4Bw&ved=0CF8QsAQ&biw=949&bih=463).
The Significance of a Research Paper in the Title of “Blowing Up Russia”
In a Research Paper dated December, 11, 2006, in the title of “Blowing Up Russia” by Yuri Felshtinsky, a Moscow born scholar, immigrated, educated and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the United States, and Alexander Litvinenko, who worked in the “counterintelligence agencies of the Soviet KGB and from 1991 in the Central Staff of the MB-FSK-FSB of Russia, specializing in counter-terrorist activities and the struggle against organized crime”. The topic dealt with 11 Chapters (http://www.ocnus.net/cgi-bin/exec/view.cgi?archive=106&num=27035), which described the FSB/KGB methods as “alien to the qualities of pity and mercy”.
It listed tasks such as:
-The “special services foment war in Chechnya”, seemingly had created conspiracies to prepare appropriate conditions for Russian military intervention again in Chechnya.
-The “security services run riot” including fabrication of news and charges.
-The “Moscow detectives take on the FSB”, explaining how “the Moscow Department of the FSB had been transformed into a gang of criminals”.
-Cited that “the political goals of the second Chechen war were far more serious: besmirched by the genocide of one of the nations of the Caucasus, Russia would be excluded for decades from the community of civilized nations by her own actions”.
-The “FSB fiasco in Ryazan” which elaborates on “Ryazan FSB operatives were spotted planting sugar sacks containing hexogene in the dormitory district of Dashkovo-Pesochnya”,
-The “perpetrators of the terrorist attacks in Buinaksk, Moscow and Volgodonsk were never found, and we can only guess at who was behind the attacks by analogy with the events in Ryazan” (http://felshtinsky.livejournal.com/707.html), stating that “on September 24, like a chorus in some well-planned stage performance, Russian politicians begin demanding war” reaching to the conclusion “when the guns roar, the public prosecutors fall silent”.
-Showing another way of dealing with the situation, “the FSB sets up freelance special operations groups” that could be from the mafias and gangsters, radical groups, former and current special armed forces.
-The “FSB organizes contract killings”, in supervising operations of required physical liquidations.
-Manage when it is considered appropriate to apply their policies against any individual or party, “special services felonyand abductions”.
-Another example, “the well known civil rights activist and Duma deputy Sergei Kovalev” mentioning that well-known criminals turned to be “KGB agents”.
-For “in place of conclusion”, a statement concluded the research paper entitled “Blowing Up Russia”, before the co-author Litvinenko (http://www.theguardian.com/world/alexander-litvinenko) knew that his fate would be on the hands of those he mentioned (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/who-killed-alexander-litvinenko/), as saying, “Russia, however, is an unpredictable country – which is the only thing which we know for certain about it. It is no longer possible to pull the wool over the Russian people’s eyes, and perhaps that may prove to be a source of strength more powerful than the clenched fist of the special services”.
The facts are accessible to those who wanted to know the details and intricacies, but that would reveal contradictions and felony of those who are interested of dominating others. “A rising tide lifts all boats” and “Actions speak louder than words”
