Ichkeria ruins Kremlin's plans

One of the main goals of ideological support of the Russian aggression against Chechnya is substantiation of some «common interest» for all countries in the region in eliminating the state independence of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which the Kremlin propaganda has been portraying as «the main destabilizing factor» in the Northern Caucasus.

After some time such blatant and shameless lie, constantly reiterated by all Russian state-run mass media and hammered into the heads of Russian and foreign TV viewers and radio listeners every day, every hour and every minute, started to take effect on the minds of the people who get subjected to this ideological indoctrination. 

Today out of a staged political show, which only a few years ago used to be mandatory among the most schizophrenic Russian politicians, Russia's march down South is now taking more of a shape of frightening reality. Among the Iraqi-Afghan problems that the US is facing, a fuller picture of this reality is beginning to emerge.

The scope of the Russian aggression against Chechnya, terrifying systematic brutalities throughout the several years of genocide of Chechen people, utmost suppression of dissidence inside Russia, unbridled militarist anti-Caucasus and anti-Islamic propaganda, which Russia’s main mass media are conducting almost openly, are speaking of one thing: Russia will not stop at Chechnya.

It is obvious that Russian leadership is using Chechnya as a range to practice the methods of large-scale aggression in the Caucasus with subsequent ethnic cleansings on the occupied territories. Let’s just recall how Russian mass media were bragging when describing how Russians used laser-guided missiles, rocket-launchers, new landmines, rocket mortars, missiles and other «weapons of wonder» on a mass

scale, where death was a lot more painful than it was in a fire-chamber…

Russian «cleansers» regaled Chechen peaceful civilians with these abominable things, while being glad inside their hearts that such abundance of free «experimental material» was available.

But on the top of turning Chechnya into a range of testing new weapon systems and developing the deadliest methods of genocide, Russia has planned to carry out even more disgusting plan on even a larger scale. Russia is turning Chechnya into a foothold for its further advancement and transferring the aggression onto the territories of adjacent states. Chechnya has also become a range to develop new political technologies, which are successfully used in Russia as well as in the satellite republics of the former USSR.

After declaring the former Soviet republics as the area of its vital interests (i.e. after virtually declaring the implementation of its long-term program of territorial conquests), Russia has made its first onslaught on the Caucasus. And Chechnya turned out to be on the first line of this onslaught.

Are the leaders of Azerbaijan or Georgia suspecting what kind of lot the Kremlin geopoliticians have prepared for them? Do they realize that the heroes of the Chechen Resistance have virtually been rescuing the independence and the very existence of not only Chechnya, but the rest states of the Caucasus too by resolutely standing up to the Russian aggression? Do they realize that the bleeding Chechen people have shielded the rest of the Caucasus nations from the iron battering ram of mad Russian hordes?

Or maybe somebody in Georgia or Azerbaijan figures that Russians will be killing the people of these countries with less sadism or on a lesser scale than they are killing Chechens? Maybe they’ll be doing it more gently or more humanely?

In 1920 the Red Army under the command of Tukhachevsky was making its way towards Warsaw Poland, and the Kremlin propaganda was trumpeting about «the dawn of liberation», which Russia is allegedly bringing to Europe, while forgetting to mention repressions, concentration camps, punitive groups of Soviet secret police and other attributes of such «liberation». Fortunately for Europe, Poland succeeded in repulsing the onslaught of bloody «cleansers and liberators» at the cost of unbelievable efforts and in rescuing the European civilization from death in the fire-chamber of another Russian experiment. Today the new incursion of the bloody gangs with their concentration camps and special groups is being deterred by the heroic people of Chechnya. The blitzkrieg that Putin planned has failed, just like the blitzkrieg of undereducated Red commander Tukhachevsky once did. But mere apologies for strategists are mainly stressing not on the power of their mind or their art of war, but on unceasing systematic repressions against the entire population of the occupied states.

And the madness of war is continuing. And inhuman tortures of the Chechen people are lasting and lasting. And the rest of the Caucasus states are still facing a real threat to be attacked.  Playing down to Moscow will not help Georgia or Azerbaijan. «Appeasing» the aggressor is a straight way to the grave.
