Broken thread

A week after the militants attacked the buildings of administrative and power structures in Nalchik, the situation in the city was not only not discharged - there were reasons for new tension. In the city there are "stripping". The bodies of the dead are not given to relatives .
It seems that the situation of three years ago is repeated. Then, after the assault on the theater center, on the Dubrovka of the body, several hostages were in the morgue in Lefortovo along with the bodies of the dead terrorists. And the ashes of Gennady Vlah, who made it to the theater center to find his son, and killed by the Baraevets, was given to relatives only in the summer of 2004 ...
The first days were full of assumptions and versions that subsequently fell. Now we can say with a definite that most of the participants in the attack were young people at the age of seventeen to twenty years, local residents. Among the killed militants, in addition to representatives of indigenous peoples, there are one Ingush, two Russians and three Ossetians. They moved in cars and attacked in groups of five people, left the house in sportswear or jeans - and were killed mainly in the reflection of attacks. It seems that many did not really know how to shoot: there are nowhere to study militants in Kabardino-Balkaria. Many of the dead are students from quite prosperous families. Many lived in one area of Nalchik.
But at the airport and the FSB buildings, others fought - by detachments of ten people, in the form of professionals, in camouflage form. But they are just among the dead, they, apparently, managed to freely leave the city.
What caused such a massive participation of local youth in the events of October 13? Local residents spoke to the "memorials" who visited Nalchik that the prerequisites for this were created for a long time by local authorities, and the incident - a fee for the delayed "stability". This very "stability" was provided in the republic primarily by administrative and police, more precisely - police. With all possible costs ...
After the attack of the militants on Ingushetia and Beslan, the "preventive" actions of the local authorities were so active that they had the opposite effect. So, in 2004-2005 in Kabardino-Balkaria, many mosques, including large ones, in the free aul and Alexandrovka closed. The local police opened rural mosques for Friday prayer, after which they again covered the key. Muslim youth, in fact, was driven from the mosques underground, to Jamaata. The Muslim community of the republic has long been a split. The arbitrariness of the "security forces" only gave persuasiveness to the words of the young "jamaatchiks" from Yarmuk, who did not recognize the official spiritual administration and explained that "the Communists, Drumers and Gabeshniks had settled there.
But, apparently, Raskolnikov could be kept from radicalization. The leaders of the "alternative" Muslim community-Astemirov, Mukozhev, Kudaeva-residents of Kabardino-Balkaria certified as educated and sane thirty-year-old men. Apparently, Jamaat as a legal community was not then identical to Jamaatu as a cell of a terrorist underground. But after Beslan Mukozhev and Kudaev at the insistence of the authorities left for Jordan.
Astemirov was refused to issue a passport, and on October 13 he was killed in battle. But here's what they say about him: “Astemirov is a soft, one might say, intelligent person. Everyone who knew him is shocked by his participation in the attack. When they talked with him about the “International Jihad”, about the “spread of the Caliphate to the entire Caucasus,” he laughed at this stupidity. He was not a radical, his participation in Nalchik events is not the ideology of jihad. "
But then what?
The main reason for the incident interviewed residents of Kabardino-Balkaria call police arbitrariness and impunity. After all, "preventive measures" were carried out very widely: in early March 2005, tens of thousands of people were "checked" in Kabardino-Balkaria, dozens of them were detained. The fight against Wahhabism turned into the persecution of Muslims in general. Under this Surdinka, the pressure and direct intervention of people in the form in the affairs of local business has increased. Beatures and torture in relation to the detainees significantly exceeded the average -Russian "norm". The police became the Odioca Institute by no means not only for extremists, not only for Muslims, but also for the overwhelming mass of the population, she “got” everyone.
It is this circumstance that the organizers of the attack on Nalchik used.
On October 18, the police and internal troops were exhibited throughout the city, there were cleansing, some areas were completely blocked. According to the leaked information, the "security forces" have a list of almost two thousand members of Yarmuk, and they will all be "worked out". According to the authorities, on October 13, they were supposed to support the attackers after capturing weapons.
But this is not serious - to believe that the five untrained youths could capture the premises of power structures with the overwhelming numerical superiority of the defenders! The course of events proves that the calculation for "uprising", even if he was, could not justify himself! A new wave of response of the "security forces" can change this situation ...
But this, if you like, is the "costs of law enforcement practice", and there is another problem related to the law.
Many in the republic believe that among the chokhs recorded in terrorists 92 killed there are actually a lot of civilians who fell under a bullet. The prosecutor's office has relatives and demand the issuance of bodies. But the corpses do not give, which can cause even more serious discontent of the entire local community. The republican authorities tend to give the bodies to avoid the split of society: the Republic of Little, family ties are strong, many regret the dead young people, even if the participants in the attack, are afraid of the center.
Meanwhile, the amendments to Article 16.1 of the “Law on Combating Terrorism” adopted after Beslan, and the “Regulation on the burial of persons, developed on their basis, which has occurred as a result of suppressing the terrorist action they committed,” allow the body not to give out, which sometimes turns out to be very conveniently. So, the dead in Bunker in Tolstoy-Yurt Aslan Maskhadov was also killed "as a result of suppressing the terrorist action", and his body was not given. Since everything that happens in the Caucasus Chokh is declared a “counter -terrorist operation”, any murdered can now be declared a terrorist, errors are excluded!
True, upon closer examination, the majority of what was happening in Nalchik is more like, more likely, to the fighting, an armed conflict of a non -national character. The same, in application to the Chechen war, is also said - the decisions of the courts, the London Magistrates and Strasbourg. And to the body of the enemy who died in the war - albeit in the civilian war - should be respected.
And if not the "enemy", not the "terrorist", but - the victims of the terror? In events of this scale, error is inevitable.
Of course, such a law is very “convenient” for hiding errors, but it hits the people who are not involved, who seemed to be intentionally made by enemies.
When the crack of breaking metal is heard, do not tighten the nuts even more.
A week ago, it was such a way of action of the authorities that turned the capital of the “peaceful and stable” Kabardino-Balkaria into the arena of hostilities.
