 The president of dead bears |
| No one is able to explain what is going on in Ingushetia. The killing is universal: it is wiping out Russians and Ingush, clerics and businessmen, not to mention employees of the Ingush interior ministry and FSB, and insurgents. |
 |
| Kadyrov’s acrobatic etudes (weekly review) |
| Some details of the meeting were so extraordinary that they provided an instant insight into the essence of the profoundly Asiatic nature of the relations between the “white” ruler and his “coloured” vassal. |
|
| Ingushetia revisited |
| It is absolutely obvious, however, that Yunus-Bek Yevkurov feels himself to be a man of the state, and will never make a break with the Russian legal system of the kind that his Chechen counterpart, Ramzan Kadyrov, has made. |
|
| Not the time for a hero |
| In the Caucasus bravery verging on insanity is valued and respected more than intelligence and prudence. All that Yevkurov needs is a demonstration of lofty madness, not its actual embodiment. |
|
| The hero’s non-return |
| The fact that Yevkurov has hired people from Aushev’s team is of no significance at all. What really matters is whether he has a mission for the “team”, whether he is ready to protect the village. |
|
| Operation search and destroy |
| Yunus-Bek Yevkurov's appointment means that a new model has been chosen, one which uses the Chechen experience. Instead of deploying in the houses and streets, abducting people, his men will go into the forests and mountains with weapons in their hands. |
|
| Dagestan: the justice deficit |
| Among those who have gone to the forest, there are many of very high social status, individuals who are successful and have brilliant prospects. |
|
| The rout of the Ingush opposition |
| The increasing pressure on opposition politicians demonstrates the direction in which the authorities plan to move. As in neighbouring Chechnya, it is likely that lawful, public protest will soon be totally banned. |
