PROSSTARY questions - 2

. By the way, what does Russia even want from the North Caucasus - and the North Caucasus from Russia? Okay, pointing, not the "North Caucasus", but Chechnya.

The answers are obvious. Russia wants to preserve its "territorial-state integrity" and the constitutional system. And the bandits (militants, terrorists, mujahideen, partisans, etc.) want separation from Russia and independence.

In this regard, immediately

. Who is holding someone for an idiot?

Is this preservation of Chechnya “as part of Russia” is a guarantee of our integrity and, better, “constitutional system”? A good joke ...

As far as I know, Chechnya a) does not pay taxes, b) any Russian laws, c) Chechnya - the only part of the globe, where not a single Russian person will voluntarily stick in it ... That's why it is a “subject of the Russian Federation”? Or is there any more strong grounds for this statement? Yes, the connection of Russia-Chechen is strong, indissoluble, truly blood. In Chechnya a), the Russian military is infinite “for the glory of the Constitution”, b) from there to Russia “in the name of Allah” there are terrorists and c) Russia pays to Chechnya a tribute, which, of course, does not reach the people, and, in fact, it is not intended for him at all ... At the same time, Chechnya “does not go out of the Russian Federation” ...

The obvious absurdity of the situation feels perfectly in Russia. Therefore, folk opinion, in general, comes down to one thing: “Lord, how to hide from them, to detach, to detach!” That's all the “state-territorial unity” ... Not a single politician dares to say this-but the topic constantly pops up. All this position is loudly and with pathos rejects - and she pops up again! And if today is not the majority today, then tomorrow - allow this topic to discuss this topic on TV - as the absolute majority would think.

Only-puffs-s. There will be no “department”. And the point is not only the prestige of Russia or Putin’s personal prestige. And the point is not even that “after Chechnya” others will separate ... No, everything is much easier. "Russia will never separate Chechnya from itself!" Ah, how proud we are ... And to ask Chechnya - forgot?

So about. Not Russia from Chechnya, but Chechnya will never separate from Russia! Relations of Russia with Chechnya are completely described by a famous joke. "Van, I caught a bear!" - "So drag here!" - "Yes, he doesn't go!" - "Then go yourself!" - "Van, duck he does not let go!" And - will not let it go.

. Indeed, what the hell is it to be separated? Once again - so for what, excuse me, are the gentlemen Mujahideen fight? For "independence"? So what are you, so independent, climbed to Dagestan in 1999? Has the evil FSB provoked? Berezovsky paid? Sorry - I do not believe in these fairy tales. But this is not important. Boris Lee Abramych, Ivan Lee Ivanovich, FSB, CIA, al-Keda-after all, someone paid! Right. And if they “gain independence”, someone will pay again. And they will climb again. They will not independently "live and make goodness." How the same Palestinians will not live peacefully, say.

In Chechnya, a destructive, but very viable system developed. "War is our profession." Plus, recent semi -native crafts (abduction of people, say). And the main source of income is the “tribute of Moscow” (that is, infusion from the budget). Local elites - both anti -Russian and pro -Russian - adapted cool to this matter. And they will not change their lifestyle: “The thief will never become a laundress, and the crook will not substitute a Finnish chest! Eh, you don’t get dirty in your hands with a dirty wheelbarrow-we’ll smoke this business somehow. ”

Therefore, the real demands of the gentlemen of the “Shahids” come down to one: no independence from Russia! Never! War against Russia - and preferably for the money of Russia! The war is not "for independence", but as a way of existence. Well, some “ideologists” may have a goal (though absolutely fictitious)-the same “caliphate” or something else as unrealistic ... But this is not the point. "The goal is nothing, the movement is everything." And the Russians may not dream of "unification" from Russia ...

Well, what about the "pro -Russian elites" in Chechnya, the same Kadyrovites? They also do not need formal independence - but they already have the actual. The project “Treaty with Russia”, which is claimed, presented by the leadership of Chechnya, abruptly Khasavyurt. And independence from Russian laws, and their taxes, and the eternal receipt of money from Moscow ... What in return? Firstly-all the same, formal “unopened”, and secondly, the most important thing is the confrontation of the Shahids! Whatever Kadyrov was, but today Kadyrov and his people stand between Russia and the Shahids. There is no war with Russia in Chechnya, there is a Civil War of Chechens: “Kadyrovites” (with the support of Russians) against the “Basayevs”.

And all this is not because Kadyrov is “bad”. But because such is the real situation in Chechnya. And any other in the place of Kadyrov would demand the same. And Moscow is all perfectly aware of this.

From here

. So what can Russia do?

Formally separate Chechnya? It cannot - then Chechnya herself will “come to Russia”. In fact, “attach Chechnya”, making it “ordinary” (poor, subsidized, etc.) by the Russian region? Can't. They ate little porridge - they are not able to restore order (the feudal war of the “Moscow principality” with the “Belgorod”), where to take strength to Chechnya, to the whole of the Caucasus.

What remains?

And nothing. Tolerate. "We are responsible for those we tamed." How, hold your pocket! We are responsible for those whom we could not tame!

Russia sentenced itself to these “Chechen galleys”: pull the strap of tribute and war. Live on the principle of “just do not touch anything” - otherwise everything will spread. Frozen - just do not defrost, otherwise such a stench will go! .. So we live - both in Chechnya, and in the Caucasus, and throughout Russia.

Badly. And we live, oddly enough, like not bad. For example, no matter how you count, but there are less terrorist attacks in 2005 than in 2004. So it’s not true that there is a “failure behind a failure” - rather, a strip of failures goes to the gentlemen of the Mujahideen.

Well

, the last, "for the backfill." Everyone criticizes the Kremlin’s policy. Does anyone offer a real alternative policy?
