Window on Eurasia: Muslims from Russia who Study Abroad Often Return Hostile to ‘Everything in Russia’ or Don’t Return at All, Islamic Leaders Say

Paul Goble

Vienna, September 29 – A majority of Muslims from Russia who study abroad return home “negatively inclined toward everything that is taking place in Russia and in the Spiritual Directorates (MSDs)” or they choose not to come back at all, according to leaders of Islamic educational institutions.
Maksud Sadikov, head of the North Caucasus University Center, said that 500 to 700 of the more than 1,000 Daghestani Muslims now studying at Islamic institutions abroad are likely to return with their minds set against the situation in Russia and especially against the official Muslim leadership there (www.blagovest-info.ru/index.php?ss=2&s=3&id=29906).
But at least Sadikov implied that most Muslims from his republic who study abroad return home. Sharafuddin Chochayev, rector of the Islamic University in Kabardino-Balkaria, in contrast said that of 20 students who travel abroad, “on average [only] one comes back” to his homeland ...

Window on Eurasia: Moscow’s Success in Blocking Opposition at the National Level Opens the Way to Russia’s Disintegration, Analyst Suggests

Paul Goble

Vienna, September 29 – The success of the Putin-Medvedev regime in blocking the emergence of any significant opposition parties and movements is likely to lead to the disintegration of the Russian Federation as economic and technical decay weaken the powers that be at the center relative to local and regional regimes, according to a Russian analyst.
That superficially paradoxical conclusion, Dmitry Savvin argues, is suggested by what happened at the end of Soviet times when Mikhail Gorbachev’s unwillingness to have elections on an all-union basis led to the disintegration of the USSR into national republics where opposition political forces could emerge (www.apn-spb.ru/publications/article6201.htm).
But in others, the Russian nationalist author suggests, the coming “time of troubles” will be far worse than the one of the 1990s, both because of the nature of the regimes that are likely to emerge and because the regime has run ...

Window on Eurasia: In Moscow Elections, ‘Falsifications Aren’t Needed -- but They Happen Anyway,’ Voting Rights Group Says

Paul Goble

Vienna, September 28 – The Moscow city government, which pioneered many of the “dirty” political techniques Vladimir Putin extended to Russia as a whole to ensure the electoral outcomes the regime wants, has so perfected the system that “falsifications [at the ballot box] aren’t needed, but they happen anyway,” according to an election watchdog group.
On the one hand, Andrey Buzin, president of the Inter-Regional Union of Voters, says in an article posted yesterday, that means that the Russian government gets its way without the falsifications that normally set off alarm bells among observers who consider only the day of voting (www.specletter.com/elections/2009-09-27/laboratornaja-rabota.html).
After Yury Luzhkov was elected Moscow mayor in 1992, he began the construction of “a government model, many elements of which were later borrowed [by Putin during his presidency] and extended throughout the country” in the quest of both for “predictable results” from any ...

Window on Eurasia: Russia Owes Its Greatness to the Golden Horde, Gainutdin Says

Paul Goble

Vienna, September 28 – Ravil Gainutdin, the head of the Union of Muftis of Russia (SMR), has touched off a firestorm by his comments about the role of Islam in the past and future of Russia, a reminder if one is needed of how sensitive almost all historical events are in that country and how closely they are bound up with current assessments of the future.
Speaking to a Moscow conference on “Russia and the Islamic World: A Partnership in the Name of Stability” last Thursday, Gainutdin first developed the oft-cited observation of Russian historian M.N. Karamzin that “Moscow owes its greatness to the khans” of the Golden Horde” (www.blagovest-info.ru/index.php?ss=2&s=3&id=29888).
The Moscow mufti added that this “assessment” applies to Russia as a whole because “the first massive state unification of Russian Orthodox and Turkic Muslim peoples took place in the 13-14th centuries within the borders of the Golden Horde, when thanks ...

Moscow Times: Australians Don't Want Kadyrov Or His Horses

Australians Don't Want Kadyrov or His Horses

By Nikolaus von Twickel

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov has come under fire in Australia after it was revealed that two of his elite racehorses would participate in high-profile races in Melbourne this fall.

Australian Greens party leader Bob Brown said that neither Kadyrov nor his horses should be let into Australia because of the Chechen leader’s brutal politics.

“If this nasty character were to get his hands on the Melbourne Cup, it would be the lowest point in Australia’s sporting history,” Brown said, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Monday.

Kadyrov is sending Mourilyan, a gelding that won this summer’s March Stakes race in Goodwood, England, to contest the Melbourne Cup on Nov. 3, the report said.

The contest is the country’s most prestigious race, with the winner’s prize money worth $3.3 million.

Australian media reports said victory for Kadyrov’s horse would be a public relations disaster because the cup is awarded personally by the governor-general, the official representative of Queen Elizabeth II in ...
