Militant Tajikophobia

Putin's security services slept through the emergence of a new powerful and ruthless player on the political arena of multinational Russia. While all resources are being devoted to waging a war of conquest against Ukraine, Russian territory has become a sanctuary for Islamic fundamentalists who see the Russian Federation as an object suitable for testing their ideas. The terrorist attack of militants from "Wilayat Khorasan", i.e. the Afghan-Tajik branch of ISIS, on March 22 in "Crocus City Hall" was a major demonstration action.

ISIS takes into account not only the factor of the multiplicity of the growing Russian Islamic Ummah (25% of the population), but also the increasing number of Muslim migrants from Central Asia, who have flooded the labor market and formed a hotbed of enormous internal tension. The FSB, even if it wanted to, could no longer control the omnipresent and pervasive monster of Islamism. The Kremlin, by nurturing Kadyrov and flooding Chechnya with money, has created a precedent of buying off a regional Muslim tsar.

Against this background, the leaders of the regions of the Russian Federation where Islam prevails are interested in pressuring the center for more preferential treatment. That is why there was a conflict between the law enforcement agencies and the Muslim elites of Russia, within the framework of which the tragic events in Crocus became a watershed. After the failure of the "Ukrainian trace" fake, the FSB finally resolutely started to work out the true perpetrators of the terrorist attack, taking the Tajik diaspora under the crosshairs. No wonder, because the Russians in the concert hall were murdered in cold blood not by mythical Banderaites, but by unsightly Tajiks, of whom there are hundreds, if not thousands, in every Russian locality. While Putin and Shoigu were introducing occupation troops into Ukraine, a three-million-strong army of Tajik migrants was quietly occupying Russia.

The Lubyanka, having realized the scale of the threat, caught on and began to take a set of decisive measures to level the consequences of the Tajik invasion. The Chekists are thoroughly investigating persons of Tajik nationality for involvement in the ISIS network: thousands of Tajik citizens are stuck at the border, and about 20% of Tajiks are being turned back to their homeland, and at the same time the norm on introducing a visa regime with Dushanbe is being agreed upon in the highest levels.

Tajikophobia is on the rise in Russian society, which ranges from increasing domestic rejection of Muslim foreigners to the FSB's information campaigns aimed at consolidating Russians in the face of the Islamo-Tajik challenge. Chekists are zealously checking numerous societies of Tajik culture, which in fact act as centers for the spread of Islamic fundamentalism. Mass deportation of several hundred thousand unreliable Tajiks is seen as an effective measure. The measures are in the spirit of deportation massacres of entire nations of the Stalinist times, but if in the USSR ethnic groups suspected of complicity with Nazis and fascists were deported, now the same thing is happening, only now ISIS loyalists are in the crosshairs.

Under President Rahmon, Tajikistan has become a breeding ground for Islamist ideology and Wahhabism. Thirty years of dictatorship transformed the country into an uncontrolled failed state with an economy built on the export of low-grade migrants and the smuggling of Afghan drugs.

Given the lack of a clear state ideology and the split in the ruling elite due to the former head of the OMON joining the ISIS camp, Tajiks have become easy prey for the propagandists of the global caliphate. After all, the world Islamist superpower promises them satisfaction over their oppressors, which include Tajikophobic Russians. The ulterior motives of the terrorist attack in Crocus are obvious: an asymmetric strike to punish the arrogant citizens of the Russian Federation, who see Tajiks not as people, but as labor slaves. To some extent, ISIS has put in the hands of Tajiks a tool to defend their honor, which will certainly be used in the future. Patrushev's and Bortnikov's people, seeing this problem, simply have to radically close the Tajik issue, otherwise new terrorist attacks will undermine Putinism from within.
