On January 4, the operational headquarters in Chechnya announced that the zone of the counter-terrorist operation in the Achkhoi-Martan and Urus-Martan districts, in the republic’s southwestern foothills, had been expanded. Law enforcement officials were quoted saying that they had additional information about possible terrorist suspects being in the area. No settlements in the two districts were officially added to the newly-widened counter-terrorist operation zone, but the districts’ inhabitants were warned to cooperate with the authorities. This region borders the neighboring republic of Ingushetia, which has seen a significant surge of attacks in the past several years (www.kakvaz-uzel.ru, January 4).

A counter-terrorist operation had been declared in this area earlier –on December 11– but it yielded few results, with just five people having been detained for alleged collaboration with the insurgents. An anonymous ...

Tatar Strongman's Departure Boosts Chechen Ambitions To Become Top Muslim Region

By Claire Bigg

The Russian republic of Tatarstan once boasted the largest mosque in Europe, the Kul-Sharif -- a lavish stone and marble edifice unveiled five years ago in the regional capital of Kazan.

Tatarstan also used to be run by Russia's most powerful Muslim regional leader and hosted the only Islam-themed international film festival in the country.

All this changed with the advent of Ramzan Kadyrov as Chechen president.

Since his appointment by the Kremlin in 2007, Kadyrov has aggressively sought to present Chechnya as Russia's new up-and-coming Muslim region.

"Chechnya is now actively positioning itself not only as a relatively autonomous part of Russia but also as a Muslim center," says Russian analyst Nikolai Petrov. "It is ...

Warsaw, POLAND--Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB/FSB operative, was murdered in one of the most sensational assassination plots in history. In November of 2006 he was poisoned in a London hotel by two KGB agents. The killers inserted a highly toxic radioactive compound, polonium-210, into his tea. The world was captivated as he lay dying in a hospital, completely bald from radiation, mumbling conspiracy theories about how Putin had ordered the hit.
Anna Politkovskya, a Russian-American journalist published in Novaya Gazeta and outside of Russia exclusively in Norway's Ny Tid (full disclosure, I have an ownership stake in this news magazine), was shot four times in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building--one bullet into her head at point blank range and three into her upper body. The date was October 7, 2006.
Natalya Estemirova, a Russian human rights activist ...

The World Chechen Congress entitled «The Fate of the Chechen Nation: present day reality and future prospects» which convened in Pultusk (Poland) on 16-18 September 2010 and which was organised in conjunction with members of the European Parliament and MPs from different European countries.

Witnessing the tragic situation in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeriya makes our hearts ache. Over two hundred and fifty new graves have appeared in the Chechen land as a result of the last two wars. We express our deep condolence and our sympathy with the victims of this conflict. We condemn the violence perpetrated by anyone and in any form and we consider terrorist attacks a direct consequence of the on-going Russian-Chechen war. We choose the principle of non-violence and press for the conflict to be resolved by political means. By condemning all acts of violence we are setting up the scene for open dialogue.

Chechen activist released in Poland amid extradition row

Published Date: 19 September 2010

By David Rising and Monika Scislowska

in Warsaw

ONE OF Russia's most wanted men – a Chechen activist who counts actress Vanessa Redgrave among his supporters – has been freed after being arrested in Poland on Russian charges related to the Chechen war.

Akhmed Zakayev now faces demands he be extradited to Russia, where he is wanted over allegations of murder, kidnapping and terrorism during Chechnya's separatist war in the 1990s.

Zakayev, who was granted asylum in Britain years ago, maintains the accusations are trumped up and defiantly told Radio Free Europe the day before his arrest that he was in Poland "absolutely legally" and would not hide from authorities.

The Kremlin claims that the charismatic Chechen is a dangerous guerrilla mastermind responsible for the deaths of many Russians.

The 51-year-old was taken into custody on Friday "without any trouble" as he left a home in Warsaw ...
