Chapter 515: The Whip of the Caliph
The second more
As a result of the Ingushetia clean-up, most of the temples in Nazran were destroyed and turned into ruins, a blow to the just cause of Islanist extremism. In addition to physically destroying the factors that endanger social security, it is also mentally destroying their spiritual source. However, all the steaming monasteries in Nazran were destroyed by the fighting, which led to protests and discontent from the Ingushetia faithful, who considered it a persecution.
"We have every reason to suspect that the Steaming Monastery in the Ingushetia region is providing a breeding ground for terrorists to grow and nourish, which is why we have made the Ingushetia region a priority, which you see as a place of spiritual prayer, but in fact a paradise for terrorists. Only by fundamentally eradicating their hotbeds can the spread of terrorism in the Caucasus be further stopped. Do you wish to be attacked by a car bomb when you are in prayer one day? ”
The official Soviet explanation and attitude were extremely tough, and he meant that the inhabitants of the Caucasus either supported the just cause of the Soviet military, or were blacklisted as sympathizers of terrorism.
Of course, the end of being blacklisted is tragic.
As a result, the opposition that still existed has disappeared. No one dared to joke with their lives and challenge the authority of the Soviets, because the religious supporters who dared to resist were sent to the Kazan psychiatric hospital for electroshock treatment.
After a bloody night, the city of Nazran finally calmed down. Although martial law was still in force on the streets, Soviet patrols and infantry vehicles were still looking for and arresting troublemakers. Any residents who are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation will be taken directly to the local police department for investigation.
In the face of extremist ideology, any attempt to convert and tolerate it is wrong, and only by more extreme means than they are used to suppress it, those who try to resist will be afraid, and in the face of tanks and bullets, even the most staunch religious believers will abandon their ideals.
Either flee the country or submit to us.
To live or to die, that's your question.
The sectarian issue alone could put them on the terrorist list. According to Yanayev, I have never seen a sect where terrorism is rife, and it is necessary for the Soviet government to lead a religious reform to rid the sects and canons that are not compatible with the development of society. In particular, to curb the spread of fundamentalism.
If anyone does not agree, then the Soviet Union will become a caliphate that will sweep through the Caucasus, slapping them the spine.
"General Secretary Yanayev, the results of this crackdown have been remarkable, and the Nazran urban areas have been largely cleared of rebellious religious forces, and the remaining extremists entrenched in the countryside are also being further targeted and eliminated."
When the Minister of Internal Affairs, Pugo, called Yanayev, he was enjoying a short and peaceful leisure time in his holiday villa in Crimea. No one knows why Yanayev chose to come to Villa Foros for a holiday at this critical point, and it is the Kremlin that needs him more now than the Black Sea Villa.
"I see, Comrade Pugo, thank you for your hard work." Yanayev nodded, finally relieved.
At this time, Pugo on the other end of the phone hesitated, but still said what he wanted to say, "General Secretary Yanaev, although there may not be a very good sentence, I have to say it. That is the question of curbing the spread of fundamentalism in the Caucasus. ”
"Huh?" Yanayev motioned for Pugo to continue, thinking about it these days.
"Probably General Secretary Yanayev is also aware of this problem, we started with the Chechen war, and now the Ingushetia unrest. Terrorists seem to be spreading endlessly in the Caucasus, and no matter how many weeds are cut, new weeds will always grow wild and become the next target. So I thought that instead of arresting them after the terrorism had happened, it would be better to stop the hotbeds of terrorism from the beginning and curb the prevalence of fundamentalism in the Caucasus. ”
"Is there a problem with the export of culture and education?" Yanayev said that he was also thinking about developing a special policy for the Caucasus.
"Yes," replied, "first of all, we must have the right to interpret religious doctrines, to remove all that is not historically in accordance with the scriptures, and to weaken spiritually the source of extreme religious thought." Without theoretical and popular 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 regions of the Caucasus, and at the same time to increase investment in the construction of troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is necessary not only to ensure the popularization of science education in the Caucasus, but also to maintain social stability in the Caucasus. Poverty and ignorance are the source of their extremist ideology, especially under the operation of foreign forces, which soon become a sharp thorn in the face of danger to our national security. ”
"Thirdly, there are no privileges for religious believers in the Caucasus. Previously, it was a policy of the Soviet Union to use the economic achievements of developed regions to subsidize the living standards of people in backward regions. It turns out that instead of being grateful for what you have done, they have sparked a wave of separatism. Therefore, we need to reverse the situation, remove all rights of believers, focus on suppressing the rise of Islam, and be vigilant against their propaganda of religion. For example, whoever dares to teach students the contents of the scriptures in the school can be directly treated as terrorists. Propaganda in public may also be treated as extremist sects. The Kazan Psychiatric Hospital is the best place for these people. ”
Pugo's dual policy of cutting off terrorism from its spiritual source and oppressing religion materially attracted Yanayev's favor. Even Yanayev was a little surprised that the Minister of Internal Affairs was able to analyze the head of the internal affairs issue.
At this time, Yanayev was also working on a policy document on the Caucasus, and after listening to Pugo's proposal, he was finally able to fill in the vacant part.
"Comrade Pugo, your proposal is very good, and I think this issue will be raised in the next political-political meeting."
"The good days of those people in the Caucasus are coming to an end," Yanayev replied firmly, "and we will make it clear to them who the real rulers of this country are." (To be continued.) )
