Moscow unwilling to recognize the might of Emir Dokka Umarov

The security committee of the Russian state duma believes that Doku Umarov has nothing to do with the Martyr operations in Moscow subway and is just making a PR campaign by taking responsibility for them.

"A claim by Doku Umarov about his involvement in the terrorist attacks in the Moscow metro must be checked", Gennady Gudkov, deputy chairman of the security committee in the state duma, said to the Russian radio station Echo of Moscow.

"We are well aware that this may be a PR campaign. Using the incidents, he could show that he has some might, or it may be that is is really responsible. Now the terrorists and their circle are to be exposed, whether they are or not related to Umarov", said the KGB duma deputy.

Curiously, before the video statement by Doku Umarov was made available in YouTube, the Russian secret services were claiming, without any evidence for it, that Dokku Abu Usman is responsible for the bombings.

Meanwhile, the ability of sabotage units of the Mujahideen of the Caucasus Emirate to organize and carry out attacks on Russian territory is doubted not only in Moscow.

The Russian service of BBC in its reports about metro bombings and in comments to the Dokka Umarov's statement, published the following amusing passage:

"A video footage appeared in the Internet where a man identifying himself as Doku Umarov, said that the explosions in the Moscow subway had been carried out under his order. A bearded man in camouflage, who has similarities with earlier pictures of the Chechen separatist leader who calls himself "Emir of the Emirate of Caucasus", claims that "special operations against the infidels" in Moscow subway stations on March 29 were conducted in retaliation for what he called a "massacre by the Russian occupiers of the poorest people of Chechnya and Ingushetia, who were collecting wild garlic in the Ingush village of Arshty on February 11, 2010".

It is to be mentioned that "someone claiming himself Doku Umarov" (BBC) has warned that attacks on Russian territory would continue.

Local apostates also pretend not to believe the statement of Caucasus Emirate's Emir. Thus, the well-known apostate Akhmar Zavgayev asks and answers himself in an interview with the Russian State Interfax news agency - "Can we trust terrorists, the leaders of the criminal groups? I doubt it".

Another apostate, a MP from the ruling KGB United Russia party, representing puppets of Dagestan, Gadzhimet Safaraliyev, has also doubts the words of the leader of the Caucasian Mujahideen.

"I think Umarov has too high opinion about himself and his capabilities" (to carry out such operations), he said.

According to Safaraliyev, "the militants' leader has no network of operatives powerful enough to organize and carry out such attacks".

According to him, "Umarov is being used as a cover for some more powerful organization". As an example, the deputy lists secret services of the US, Saudi Arabia and several other countries.

It is to be mentioned that the ringleader of the parliamentary security council of Russia and a former Russian KGB top terrorist Patrushev found a "Georgian trace" in the Moscow metro bombings.

Curiously, Moscow is clearly reluctant to admit that the Caucasian Mujahideen are capable to carry out sabotage operations on the territory of Russia. It was the most spectacular attack after the bombing of the elite Nevsky Express train, when the FSB and all Russian government Russian commentators unanimously said - "it has no Caucasian trace".

Moscow's unwillingness to recognize the facts is especially strange that, since according to many commentators, attacks in the Moscow subway are allegedly favorable for Putin, who intends once again to become the Russian Czar.

As they say, new explosions and new blood would again force the Russian population to rally around the government and demand a stronger hand.

However, this explanation has some significant flaws.

First, the "strong hand" (it impossible to be stronger than Putin now) is ruling Russia for 11 years and never stepped back (he didn't weaken, but only became stronger). The vertical of power in Russia is so steep that there is no way to be more steeper.

Second, despite vigorous opposition's attempts to stir up the masses, the activities of anti-Putin and anti-Kremlin meetings are weak. The masses drink vodka and watch the TV, which tells them how Russia "has risen from the knees".

Third, it has been a sabotage operation on the territory of Russia proper, and it destroys the myth of the pacification of Chechnya (Caucasus) and demonstrates the omnipotence of Putin and his FSB gang. The bombings of the metro and the blast of the elite train are, in fact, the act of public desacralization of Putin's regime, and they destroy the Putin's myth.

After 11 years of victorious reports and television images of allegedly peaceful and prosperous Kadyrov's Chechnya and killed "militants", new explosions under the nose of the Kremlin do not testify in favor of Putin, since these explosions destroy the Putin's main myth - the myth of omnipotence, stability and order.

And if the Putin's Latrine Doctrine dated anno 1999 to "rub out militants in the toilet" stimulated the drunk and angry Russian mob, then the same Latrine Doctrine dated anno 2010 of "scraping bandits off the bottom of the sewers" meets only laughter.

The Russian government is not as strong as it pretended to be all these years. And the crowd does not forgive weakness. This is even more dangerous for the government against the background of deepening crisis, rising unemployment and poverty. The inhabitants on his/her own skin felt that Putin's promises were empty.

So, the effect of these attacks can be completely different than all-knowing critics of the Mujahideen and the fans of the "FSB's traces" are trying to inculcate.

Perhaps, these bombings would open the most terrible secret of the current regime - Putin's regime is simply impotent.

It stupidly swallow up petrodollars of the previous corpulent decade, and stuffed its private purse with enormous sums of money, leaving the country with a crumbling Soviet infrastructure. As it turns out, this Russian government cannot even protect ordinary citizens, even in Moscow

As far a the Kremlin's Pokemon (Medvedev) is concerned, who is trying pretend to be brave, then his bulging eyes do not cause anything more but a condescending curiosity. Watching how he carefully stretches his mouth and strains his neck is very interesting indeed.
