Ministry of Internal Affairs: 83 people were detained in Dagestan for participation in riots at the airport [Regnum] Law enforcement officers detained at least 83 people who took part in illegal activities in Dagestan, the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) reported. “Currently, 83 persons who took part in illegal activities have been detained,” the statement said. The department noted that operational search activities and investigative actions are carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the republic. The message also clarified that the police conducted more than 50 searches, during which office equipment and telephones were seized, which are evidence in the investigation. The Ministry of Internal Affairs added that the situation in Dagestan is under the control of law enforcement agencies. In addition, the department warned that any attempts to complicate the situation in the region will be suppressed. As Regnum reported, on October 29, riots occurred at Makhachkala airport after a flight landed from Tel Aviv. A large crowd of men broke into the air harbor. After infiltrating, they carried out pogroms and arson, after which the airport was closed. The airport resumed operations on October 30. The authorities of the republic reported the detention of persons participating in the riots. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that behind the events at Makhachkala airport were Western intelligence agencies operating through social networks from the territory of Ukraine. The Russian leader also said that they are trying to split Russia from the outside. To do this, according to Putin, organizers from Western countries use lies, provocations, and the spread of aggressive sentiments with the help of psychotechnics. More from regnum.ru Political scientist Gasparyan: the goal of the organizers of the riots in Makhachkala was to denigrate the Russian Federation
The day before it became known that the residents of Makhachkala were incited to riots at the republican airport by the Telegram channel “Morning of Dagestan”, administered from the territory of Ukraine by former State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev ( recognized as a foreign agent, included in the list of terrorists and extremists). “Their calculation was more than successful, because now the whole world is writing about “horrific anti-Semitism” and “Jewish pogroms” on Russian territory. The calculation was precisely to create a negative background, ” Gasparyan said. - But here a question arises. Last year, this Telegram channel, which was created by the scumbag Ponomarev, made a fuss in Dagestan about partial mobilization. A year has passed. And again the same Telegram channel creates new unrest. Why was no effort made to restore order? According to the political scientist, in particular, it was necessary to create a Telegram channel that would be responsible for the information agenda in Dagestan. Gasparyan believes that what happened in Makhachkala makes us think not only about the punishment of riot participants, but also about the information component in the North Caucasus. “This is not just a problem for Dagestan... in Karachay-Cherkessia, by the way, they also tried to gather people,” Gasparyan said. The political scientist also suggested that the swell of interethnic tension in the Russian Federation is “the groundwork for March 2024,” when they will try to destabilize the situation in any way. Therefore, according to Gasparyan, it is necessary to recognize the existing problems and begin to solve them, and not limit ourselves to punishing the direct culprits. “Plus, let’s not deceive ourselves - this problem is directly dependent on what will happen in the Gaza Strip. What is happening there now is a prelude to the big game. What will happen when Israel launches a ground operation? We need to take all these factors into account. Otherwise there will be great difficulties,” Gasparyan warned. In turn, political scientist Vladimir Kornilov agreed with the idea that the Ukrainian Center for Information and Psychological Operations (TsIPSO), and therefore the intelligence services of the Ukrainian regime associated with it (for example, the SBU or GUR) were directly related to the events in Makhachkala. “Who is Ilya Ponomarev? This year he was officially included in the register of terrorists and extremists. Especially after he admitted his participation in organizing the assassination attempt on Daria Dugina , ” Kornilov said. - So there can be no two opinions about the fact that there is a traitor Ilya Ponomarev. This gentleman is clearly a tool. He himself is not smart enough.” Kornilov emphasized that in this situation everything comes down to TsIPSO. “However, now Ponomarev may get burned, ” the political scientist noted. “ It’s one thing to carry out terrorist attacks on Russian territory and against Russian public figures, and quite another to stir up anti-Semitic sentiments in the world.” Here he could become an object of interest for both Western intelligence services and the Mossad.” Earlier , Regnum news agency reported that, according to the head of Dagestan Sergei Melikov , he received information indicating that the Telegram channel “Morning Dagestan” is administered from the territory of Ukraine by “traitors and Banderaites.” In addition, he said that Russia’s enemies are trying to destabilize the situation in Dagestan, to create a “protest background” there, including using prohibited techniques related to inciting ethnic hatred and interfaith problems. Melikov believes that the unrest was probably supported by those who are disadvantaged by the socio-economic transformations taking place in the republic, due to which these individuals lost their “illegal earnings.” The head of Dagestan called the incident “cynicism and betrayal,” and also described these unrest as “a knife in the back of our military personnel.” According to the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov , the unrest at Makhachkala airport was provoked from the outside, using “information influence.” It is also known that on the evening of October 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a large meeting in person on the events at Makhachkala airport. The Russian Foreign Ministry directly pointed out the role of the Kyiv regime in organizing the unrest. More, again from regnum.ru Patriarch Kirill condemned the actions of the rioters in Makhachkala Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia condemned the actions of the protesters who broke into the Makhachkala airport and supported Islamic leaders who called for an end to the unrest, the press service of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) reported on October 30.
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church said that he regards what happened at the airport as an attempt to incite hatred between Muslims and Jews. He has no doubt that forces that want to undermine the situation in Russia by any means are involved in provoking unrest. Patriarch Kirill called on all Russians, regardless of beliefs, to strengthen interreligious peace in the country, built by their ancestors, and to unite to prevent its destruction. As Regnum reported, on October 29, a large crowd of men burst into Makhachkala airport when a flight from Tel Aviv landed. They carried out pogroms and arson using firearms and explosives. The airport was closed, and soon the Dagestan authorities announced that those who started the riots had been detained. Makhachkala Airport resumed operations on October 30. The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, pointed out that the unrest is beneficial to Russia’s enemies, who are seeking to escalate the situation in the region. Press secretary of the country's president Dmitry Peskov said that on the evening of October 30, head of state Vladimir Putin will hold a meeting in person to discuss what happened in Makhachkala. A Kremlin spokesman said the incident was provoked by external forces. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova reported on October 30 that the reaction of Russian law enforcement agencies to the events in Makhachkala was coherent and clear. She noted that this made it possible to thwart an attempt at provocation, the purpose of which was to sow unrest in Russia. Even more from regnum.ru Foreign Ministry says that Kyiv played a key role in the unrest in Dagestan
“In the implementation of the next destructive action, a direct and key role was assigned to the criminal Kiev regime ,” says a commentary published on the Foreign Ministry website. The mass unrest was the result of a planned and carried out external provocation aimed at undermining harmonious development and ethno-confessional unity, the department emphasized. Zakharova added that Kyiv is most interested in destabilizing the situation in Russia and discrediting it in the international arena against the backdrop of the world community’s fading attention to the crisis around Ukraine. Moreover, the promptness of statements by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, about the event at Makhachkala airport indicates the coordinated nature of the sabotage of the Ukrainian special services, the diplomat emphasized. As Regnum reported , a crowd of Makhachkala residents broke onto the runway of Uytash airport on October 29. People came with anti-Israel signs and chanted slogans in support of Palestine. At some point, part of the crowd broke the entrance doors and broke into the airport terminal building, causing riots. This happened after the flight arrived from Tel Aviv. As a result, both civilians and police were injured. As a result of the riots , nine police officers were injured, two of whom were sent to hospital. A criminal case was opened into the incident at Makhachkala airport . The head of the Republic of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov , said on October 30 that the unrest was being controlled from Ukraine. According to him, the initiators of this action, of course, operated from the territory of Ukraine. He also called what happened at the Makhachkala airport cynicism and betrayal. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing on October 30 that the unrest at the airport was provoked from the outside. He noted that people are easily provoked when footage of what is happening in the Gaza Strip appears in the media. More from kavkaz-uzel.com Passengers on a flight from Israel left Makhachkala after anti-Semitic protests Passengers on the plane from Israel were not injured during the riots at Makhachkala airport and have already left the city, the Israeli ambassador said. The head of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia called on the country's authorities to punish participants in anti-Semitic actions in Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on the evening of October 29, mass riots occurred at the Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. As a result of the unrest, more than 20 people were injured, including nine police officers. Today, five victims remain in hospitals, two of them in serious condition, the Ministry of Health reported. Security forces identified more than 150 riot participants and detained 60 people. The criminal case regarding the mass riots has been transferred to Moscow investigators, and searches are being carried out at the participants of the anti-Israel protest , the investigation reported today. From October 26 to 29, mass anti-Semitic actions took place in the cities of three republics of the North Caucasus Federal District. In Cherkessk, protesters demanded that visitors from Israel not be allowed in, and in Nalchik a cultural center was burned. In Khasavyurt, Dagestan, hundreds of people gathered at a hotel after messages on social networks that there were refugees from Israel in this hotel, according to the Caucasian Knot report “Anti-Semitic actions in the North Caucasus: how it happened.” Israeli citizens who flew to Dagestan were not injured during the riots at the airport; they were all taken out and have already left Makhachkala, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Alexander Ben Zvi said today. “Fortunately, no one was injured among the passengers on the plane. There were citizens who had Israeli and Russian passports, and those who only had an Israeli or only a Russian passport. For example, children who traveled to Israel for cancer treatment. “ "Everyone found themselves in this terrible situation. Fortunately, nothing happened to them - they were all taken out and are no longer in Makhachkala," RIA Novosti quotes him as saying. The ambassador noted that “any manifestation of anti-Semitism, no matter where, is a terrible phenomenon,” the publication says. The President of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, Rabbi Alexander Boroda today made a statement in connection with anti-Semitic actions in the republics of the North Caucasus. “The events of October 29 at Makhachkala airport, as well as the incidents preceding them in Nalchik, Khasavyurt and Cherkessk, clearly show that the conflict in the Middle East has already affected the lives of people in Russia, and that anti-Israeli sentiment has now turned into open aggression towards even Russian Jews. Moreover, we see that the local authorities were not prepared for such incidents and allowed large-scale violations of law and order, mass protests with open threats to Jews and Israelis who could have ended up at the Makhachkala airport. But this can hardly be called incompetence - rather, the leadership of the republics could not imagine that the multinational Caucasus will be engulfed by such unrest,” reads Boroda’s statement posted on the federation’s website. The rabbi called on the country's leadership and law enforcement agencies to "find and most severely punish all organizers and participants of anti-Semitic actions in accordance with Russian legislation." “It is also necessary to take into account that the pogromists formed their position based on information from social networks and the media - both Russian and foreign. I ask you to pay attention to how events in the Middle East are covered - this complex issue must be approached with great caution and responsibility, so that people do not come to one-sided and radical views, so that they draw conclusions from humane positions, and not on the basis of raging negative emotions,” said Alexander Boroda. Let us recall that Muslims of the North Caucasus did not remain indifferent to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on October 28 that thousands of participants participated in prayers for the Palestinians. On October 28, protests against the arrival of refugees from Israel to the North Caucasus took place in Cherkessk and Khasavyurt. At the same time, the Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus on October 28 called anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and called not to regard the opinions of their participants as the opinion of the people. Information about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine is collected in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.” The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians.
The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.
