From the creators of the Islamic State, we bring you... the Caucasus Emirate! The jihadist scourge in Russia and one of Putin's biggest headaches. In its decade-long history it terrorized the entire population of Russia and, above all, the republics of the North Caucasus. With the incursion of Salafism during the Russian-Chechen wars in the 1990s, this State project began, and by 2007 Putin believed he had already dealt with the chaos in Chechnya.
However, the presence of the Russian army in the region and the support of Putin's strongmen in the North Caucasus, such as our old buddy Ramzan Kadyrov, managed to curb the spread of a jihadist Salafism popular among Caucasian youth desperate for new opportunities that were impossible to find in the impoverished region. But although jihadist attacks have largely ceased, Salafism continues to lurk…
To what extent could jihadism become a real problem? What has jihadist terrorism been like in Russia? Is jihadism still an open front for Russia? Could it fuel old secessionist desires? In this video we tell you about it.
