Putin uses Kadyrovites in Ukraine to incite hatred towards Crimean Tatars
5/20/2014 11:07:15 PM
Californian radio station КРВS in San Diego worte an analytical article entitled "The Secret Players In The Russia-Ukraine Game" about gangs of Kadyrovites in eastern Ukraine.
The article states that on these gangs have the following information:
"Kavkazcenter, the official website of the North Caucasus Islamic insurgency, posted a letter from a man who claims he was sent to Crimea and then to Slovyansk, as part of a Chechen security force. Reuters spoke with a soldier who says he went to Crimea ahead of its voter referendum.
Recruitment centers in Grozny were reportedly asking for volunteer soldiers to fight in Ukraine, but the offices suddenly closed after stories about them were published.
A Chechen student in Grozny alleges, via Russian blogger Oleg Leusenko, that residents were reluctant to volunteer, and recruiters called those people cowards and violently beat a man who refused to sign up".
Paul Goble, a longtime specialist on ethnic and religious issues in the post-Soviet world, says sending by Putin of Kadyrovites to Ukraine serves many purposes, in particular, give them combat experience because Russia does not call them into the army.
There is another purpose. Radio station reports:
"Goble points out that it may be hard for observers to distinguish Chechen forces in the eastern regions of Ukraine from the Crimean Tatars, since both groups are Muslim. "They look similar. They could do something, and the Crimean Tatars could be blamed," says Goble. "Then there'd be more support for tough measures against the Tatars because they [would be seen as] dangerous Muslims, like the Chechens".
Radio station continues:
"Adding Chechens to the (ethical - KC) mix could intensify instability yet have minimal consequences for Russia. Goble explains that Chechens have a reputation for being brutal fighters. Kadyrov himself has been suspected of horrific human rights abuses and runs an intensely thuggish regime.
However, Moscow could easily deny any responsibility for actions taken by Chechens, as nothing has been officially ordered by Putin".
