Soviet Union 1991

Second update

As a result of the clean-up in the Ingushetia region, most of the temples in Nazran City were destroyed by the war and turned directly into ruins. This attack was originally a just cause against Islamic extremism. In addition to eliminating factors that endanger social security physically, it also destroys their spiritual source mentally. However, all the Qingzheng temples in Nazran City were destroyed by the war, which triggered protests and dissatisfaction among believers in the Ingushetia region, who believed that this was a persecution.

"We have very good reason to suspect that the steaming temples in Ingushetia are providing a breeding ground for terrorists to grow and nourish. This is why we have targeted Ingushetia as a key target. In your opinion, this is a spiritual belief. The place of prayer is actually a paradise for terrorists. Only by fundamentally eradicating their breeding ground can we further prevent the spread of terrorism in the Caucasus. Do you hope to pray one day? Were you attacked by a car bomb?"

The official explanation and attitude of the Soviet Union were extremely tough. What he meant was that residents of the Caucasus could either support the just cause of the Soviet military or be blacklisted as sympathizers of terrorism. The choice was one of the two.

Of course, the consequences of being blacklisted are tragic.

As a result, the original opposition has disappeared. No one dared to make fun of their own lives and challenge the authority of the Soviet Union, because religious supporters who dared to resist were sent to the Kazan Mental Hospital for electroshock treatment.

After a bloody night, Nazran City finally became calm. Although martial law is still enforced on the streets, Soviet patrol teams and infantry tanks are still searching for and arresting troublemakers. Any residents who are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation will be transferred directly to the local police department for investigation.

To deal with extremist ideas, any attempt to enlighten and tolerate is wrong. Only by using more extreme means to suppress them will those who try to resist become afraid. In the face of tanks and bullets, no matter how firm the religious believers are, they will Give up your ideals.

Either flee the country or surrender to us.

To live or to die, that is your question.

Sectarian issues alone can put them on the list of terrorists. According to Yanayev, I have never seen a sect where terrorism is prevalent. It is necessary for the Soviet government to guide a religious reform and eliminate sects and canons that are inconsistent with social development. Especially to curb the spread of fundamentalism.

If anyone does not agree, then the Soviet Union will become the whip of the Caliphate that sweeps across the Caucasus and slaps them hard on the spine.

"General Secretary Yanayev, the results of this crackdown have been remarkable. The urban areas of Nazran have basically eliminated the resisting religious forces, and the remaining extremists entrenched in the countryside are being further targeted for elimination."

When Interior Minister Pugo called Yanayev, he was enjoying a brief and peaceful leisure time at his holiday villa in Crimea. No one knows why Yanayev chose to come to the Foros villa for vacation at this critical point. The Kremlin should need him more now, not the Black Sea vacation villa.

"I understand, Comrade Pugo, thank you for your hard work." Yanayev nodded, finally feeling relieved.

At this time, Pugo on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, and then said what he wanted to say, "General Secretary Yanayev, although there is something that may not sound very good, but I have to say it. That is about The Problem of Containing the Spread of Fundamentalism in the Caucasus.”

"Huh?" Yanayev gestured to Pugo to continue. He was also thinking about this issue these days.

"Perhaps General Secretary Yanayev is also aware of this problem. We started with the Chechen war and now have the unrest in Ingushetia. Terrorists seem to be spreading endlessly in the Caucasus. No matter how many weeds are cut, there will always be There are new weeds growing up and becoming the next targets, so I’m thinking that instead of arresting them after terrorism occurs, it’s better to block the hotbed of terrorism from the beginning and curb the prevalence of fundamentalism in the Caucasus.”

"Is it a matter of cultural export and education?" said Yanayev, who is also thinking about formulating special policies for the Caucasus.

Pugo replied, "Yes, first of all, we must have the right to interpret religious doctrines, delete all things in the scriptures that are not in line with historical trends, and spiritually weaken the source of extreme religious ideas. Without theoretical support and mass support , it will be difficult for terrorists to continue to recruit new candidates.”

"Secondly, it is necessary to increase investment in educational resources in the poor and backward areas of the Caucasus, and at the same time, strengthen investment in the construction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' troops. It is necessary to ensure the popularization of scientific education in the Caucasus, and at the same time, it is necessary to maintain social stability in the Caucasus. "And ignorance is the source of their extreme thoughts, especially under the operation of external forces, and it quickly becomes a sharp thorn in the side of our national security."

"Third, religious believers in the Caucasus will not have any privileges. Previously, the Soviet Union used the economic achievements of developed areas to subsidize the living standards of people in backward areas. It was a policy that put the cart before the horse. Facts have proved that not only will they not be grateful to you for your All it did was trigger a wave of separatism, so we need to turn the tables. Come, cancel all rights of believers, focus on suppressing the rise of Islamic sects, and be wary of their propaganda of religion. For example, anyone who dares to teach students the contents of scriptures in schools can be directly treated as terrorists for propaganda in public places. , it can also be treated as an extremist sect. Kazan Mental Hospital is the best place for these people.”

Pugo's dual policy of cutting off terrorism at its spiritual source and suppressing sectarianism materially attracted Yanayev's favor. Yanayev was even a little surprised that the Minister of Internal Affairs was able to analyze domestic affairs issues in a clear and logical manner.

At this time, Yanayev was also drafting a policy document on the Caucasus. After listening to Pugo's proposal, he was finally able to fill in the blank part.

"Comrade Pugo, your proposal is very good. I think this issue will be raised in the next political bureau meeting."

Yanayev replied firmly, "The good days of those people in the Caucasus will come to an end. We will make them clearly understand who is the real ruler of this country." (To be continued.)
