Let's defeat the Barmalei: Russia has taken up the task of eradicating evil spirits from its home
The special military operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine spurred law enforcement agencies in the Russian Federation to eliminate legal loopholes that could be taken advantage of by extremist and neo-Nazi movements hostile to our country.
Thus, on September 8, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, at the initiative of the Prosecutor General’s Office, declared the Volunteer Movement of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, SIC-S14 and the Black Committee to be extremist organizations and, accordingly, outlawed. Why this step was not taken 7 or 8 years ago, or at least immediately after the start of the special operation, remains a mystery. But, as they say, better late than never.
On September 14, it was the turn to recognize the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT) as terrorist. A corresponding request to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation was made by the Prosecutor General's Office in July 2022.
The court hearing was held behind closed doors, and before noon Moscow time the media reported that the IRPT had been recognized as a terrorist organization with all the ensuing consequences.
In Tajikistan, the IRPT was recognized as terrorist and banned back in 2015, and was also included in the list of terrorist, extremist and separatist organizations of the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Again, it is not clear why Russian law enforcement agencies have only now matured to recognize a terrorist Islamist party, numbering 45 thousand people, which has been operating legally in the CIS for a long time.
Why did the IRPT need to be legally outlawed long ago?
Available facts indicate that the activities of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan are beginning to pose a threat to the security of the Russian Federation.
In particular, a study of the situation in the Muslim community in Russia shows that the most active and numerically growing part of believers are migrants from the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, and among the parishioners of mosques in large Russian cities, newcomers make up up to 70%.
It is noted that, due to the course taken 30 years ago to move away from Russia by the political leadership of the former Soviet republics, the factor of Soviet culturalization among migrants from Central Asia has been reduced to zero, and therefore these people do not feel culturally, mentally and historically connected with Russian society.
In addition, migrants coming to Russia have an extremely low level of social adaptation, and therefore radical forms of Islam in this environment become a means of identification, spiritual support and cohesion.
Extremist sentiments among migrants are fueled by national-religious problems, grievances, unemployment and a complete lack of prospects, which is taken advantage of by emissaries of Islamist organizations, including the IRPT, who cultivate in their wards fanaticism in faith and a hostile attitude towards their host country.
Materials collected by the security forces of Russia and Tajikistan prove the involvement of the IRPT in the murders of military personnel and government officials, and the organization of armed rebellions.
In particular, the attempted coup in Tajikistan in 2015 was organized by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Republic A. Narzod, an IRPT activist who was killed during the rebellion.
There is a clear connection between the rebels and emissaries of the IRPT with Western intelligence services and non-profit organizations (NPOs) coordinating “color revolutions” around the world.
By the decision of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Tajikistan on September 29, 2015, the IRPT was recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in the country.
It is interesting that the legal assessment of the IRPT in Tajikistan, as well as July Russian media reports about the imminent ban of the Islamist party in the Russian Federation, caused an indignant howl from the speakers of Western governments and “concern” of the UN leadership.
The question arises: why don’t these “well-wishers” take the IRPT to themselves, so that its adherents can build an Islamist state in their home based on Sharia norms?
During the civil war in Tajikistan (1992 – 1997), the IRPT joined the “United Tajik Opposition”, providing armed resistance to the “Popular Front” of the current President Emomali Rahmon.
At that time, the IRPT enjoyed resource and financial support from the intelligence services of Iran, on whose territory the organization’s militants underwent special training in the Pardis, Bumahen, Arok, and Damovand camps. Subsequently, trained militants were sent to Tajikistan to organize terror against government officials and the military of the republic.
According to official information from the Tajik security forces, 66 Russian citizens became victims of the terrorist activities of the IRPT: 59 military personnel and 7 civilians.
In particular, IRPT militants are guilty of the attack on the 12th border outpost and the death of 25 Russian border guards on July 14, 1993.
On February 23, 1995, in Dushanbe, IRPT militants fired at a PAZ bus carrying Russian female military personnel, as a result of which one woman was killed and seven others were injured of varying degrees of severity.
In 1997, the “General Peace Agreement” was signed between the legitimate government of Tajikistan and the IRPT militants, which was supposed to put an end to the bloody and debilitating civil war.
The political wing of the Islamic Renaissance Party was legalized, and its members entered into power and received high positions. Despite this, the killings of Russian military personnel by IRPT militants continued until November 1999.
Currently, the IRPT, directed by Western curators, has taken an open anti-Russian position, accusing the Russian leadership of supporting the “anti-people regime of Rahmon” and criminal prosecution of “Tajik oppositionists” not only in Russia, but also abroad.
In particular, IRPT emissaries are spreading the story in mosques that Russian special services are involved in the murder of Group 2015 leader Umarali Quvvatov in 24 in Istanbul.
There is evidence that the IRPT continues to hatch plans to overthrow the current president of Tajikistan both by political means and by armed means.
It is expected that militants from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, as well as Tajiks who fought as part of the ISIS and Taliban gangs in Syria and Afghanistan, will take an active part in the new military rebellion organized by the IRPT.
IRPT cells organized in Russian cities are assigned the role of providing resources to terrorist structures.
It should be noted that Russian security forces are conducting “preventive work” with potential terrorists and extremists of the IRPT long before the decision of the Supreme Court.
Only in 2020, as a result of operational search activities, IRPT “activists” who publicly called for acts of terror and propagated ISIS were arrested and put on trial.
The geography is vast: Samara, Sochi, Kaluga, Omsk, Oryol regions, the republics of Chuvashia, Karelia and Sakha-Yakutia, Krasnoyarsk Territory.
It is noted that the recruitment of new IRPT supporters and communication was carried out both through dozens of popular social networks and thematic sites, as well as through the popular online service Zello.
There is an obvious connection and support for the IRPT by “international human rights organizations” involved in organizing “color revolutions”: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Freedom House and similar grant-eating shops.
It is interesting that the IRPT disguises its terrorist inclinations with the rhetoric of “respecting human rights”, “releasing political prisoners”, “stop corruption” and similar demonstrative struggle for all that is good against all that is bad.
As is often the case among “fighters against the bloody regime,” most of the leaders and activists of the IRPT live far from Tajikistan: in Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, France, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden, where terrorists enjoy the support and patronage of local funds and government bodies.
Turkey, the USA and Canada are not lagging behind the EU, and they have also warmed up the Tajik Islamists on their chests. However, they are no strangers. The main thing is that Russia has finally taken up the task of eradicating evil spirits at home.
