| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] Artur Gadzhiev, a 19-year-old native of Dagestan who carried out a massacre in Surgut on August 19 after swearing allegiance to IS leader al-Baghdadi, was reportedly on the so-called “preventive register for extremism” in Dagestan. The case of an attack on passers-by in Surgut can be repeated at any time in any of the cities in the north of Western Siberia, as well as in other regions of Russia, said Denis Sokolov , head of the RAMCOM Center for Socio-Economic Research of Regions. Over the past decades, both "official Islam" and moderate Salafism have become uncompetitive for the ideology of the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia, Sokolov is sure. In an interview with the "Caucasian Knot", the expert told what he thinks about the state of modern Islam in Russia, as well as about the prerequisites and consequences of the massacre in Surgut. |
