Fundamentalist movements in the northern region of the Caucasus. Chechnya and Dagestan at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century
Abstract
The Mujahedeen, who had received military training in Afghanistan and Pakistan against Soviets and fought against that force, steered to new objectives or they were directed to do so after the dissolution of the USSR. The Mujahedeen received training in accordance with the Salafist-Wahabi faith in general. They sometimes operate peacefully in an impolitic manner but they also operate politically and act as a member of an armed organization at times. Their aforementioned field of activity is focused on regions, where a power vacuum occurred as the result of the dissolution of the USSR and the subsequent decline in the state authority. The attempts of Selefi organizations such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda to infiltrate into the Caucasian region are common. It should be noted that the indicated organizations house a large number of terrorists from this region within their own structure and that they also receive external aid and assistance.
In this article, the actions of the fundamentalist groups to settle into the Northern Caucasian Region and their activities shall be analyzed within the historical context. Afterwards, the attempts of the aforementioned groups to infiltrate into Chechnya and Dagestan Autonomous Republic shall be examined.
