• W2245117728 abstract "WHY GEN. PATRUSHEV SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT TAJIK OPPOSITION'S FATE. (By Arkady Dubnov. Slon.ru, June 25, 2015, https://slon.ru/posts/53247. Complete text:) Eighteen years ago, on June 27, 1997, the Tajik civil war ended fol ... lowing the signing of a peace agreement in Moscow between the Tajik government and the United Tajik Opposition. By various estimates, [that war] claimed the lives of 80,000 to 100,000 people. Today, we must admit that the balance between the authorities and the opposition that was established back then in one of the most unstable regions in Eurasia has been lost. Official Dushanbe has completely usurped power, relegating its opponents, including supporters of moderate Islam, to the sidelines of the social and political arena. ... It is not difficult to fathom what this could mean for a country with strongly rooted Islamic traditions that is separated from volatile Afghanistan by a fairly porous 1,300-kilometer border. Tajikistan is once again on the threshold of radicalization and seeing an increase in terrorist activity by Islamist radicals, namely Islamic State [of Iraq and Sham] militants, whose ranks are being strengthened by moderate Muslims feeling insulted and humiliated by the regime. ... How can such a course of events be prevented by Russia, considered the chief guarantor of stability in Tajikistan, which is home to its 201st military base, numbering around 8,000 troops? If you believe Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, who stated in a recent interview with Kommersant that he does not consider it possible to stop the flow of ISIS volunteers, there is no chance to salvage the situation. According to him, the reason is the US's double standards when it comes to fighting terrorism: When ISIS is fighting [Syrian President Bashar] Assad, it gets support from the US, which is at the same time bombing [ISIS]. ... However, it is difficult to take everything that Gen. Patrushev says at face value. And not only because of his ridiculous tall tales about the made-up words of former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright [see the second feature in this issue, above]. For example, these are the Russian Security Council secretary's thoughts on the emergence of the Taliban: Turns out it was created by the Americans, who were unhappy that troops had entered Afghanistan. Gen. Patrushev, who sees Americans everywhere, just like Sen. [Joseph] McCarthy saw communists everywhere more than half a century ago, does not know that the Taliban first appeared in Afghanisan in 1994, five years after Soviet troops had withdrawn. What's more, the Taliban was fighting mujahedeen, not the shuravi (Soviet troops). If this is the knowledge level of one of Russia's main law-enforcement chiefs responsible for ensuring security both inside the country and outside its borders within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (which Moscow considers its zone of responsibility), then we have every reason to worry. ... As recently as a month ago, Nikolai Patrushev attended a meeting of security council secretaries of CSTO countries in Dushanbe - [the capital of a country that] is basically one of the main lines of defense in combating international terrorism. The security chief adopted measures to prevent the recruitment of new ISIS members and that organization's infiltration into [Tajikistan]. But if the Russian Security Council chief thinks this is all a useless measure (since the Americans are doing all they can to derail these plans), then why waste everyone's time? Let [the Americans] worry about ensuring security in Russia's zone of responsibility. ... For instance, why not ask the Americans to work with labor migrants, including from Central Asia, since millions of them have been living and working in Russia for years to support themselves and their families back home? After all, ISIS recruitment is most active within their community. This is where operational finesse, so valued by the Chekists [security officers - Trans.], would really come in handy. Isn't identifying and neutralizing such recruiters a very pressing matter for Russian security services? However, Gen. Patrushev never mentioned this once - he is more concerned about the fact that foreign troops, namely [those of] the US and NATO, are essentially ceasing military operations against terrorists in Afghanistan. ... Excuse me, but weren't our generals and diplomats tirelessly demanding that the Washington apparatchiks withdraw the American and NATO contingents from Afghanistan as quickly as possible? Weren't they categorically and strongly demanding that the UN Security Council hear a report on how the Afghan mandate given to the international coalition has been carried out? I guess it's best to keep mum on that for now, or you might get accused of double standards. ... At the same time, it's strange that Patrushev did not say anything specifically about Tajikistan, where the authorities are doing everything they can to create the right conditions for the growth of militant extremism." @default.
