The massacre in Moscow with Russian President Medvedev can stand as a daydreamer. He wants the North Caucasus, from which the terrorists were probably converted to the ski destination, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists. Instead, Moscow is likely to beat again in the hour of the hardliners.
Dmitry Medvedev had planned his week quite different. On Tuesday the Russian president wanted to fly to the World Economic Forum in Davos, on Wednesday and deliver the opening speech - and draw from the mighty of the world the vision of a peaceful, economically developed Caucasus, with hundreds of thousands of tourists.
The President wanted to personally promote international investment in the crisis region. Now he must instead a response to the massacre at the Moscow Domodedovo flights are sticking to their settings are likely originate from the Caucasus. His trip to Switzerland in the Kremlin Lord has been canceled.
And it is even more difficult to implement at least parts of its development program into reality. Five major ski resorts has provided Medvedev in the Russian North Caucasus, one of the highest mountain in the region, Elbrus, one die in Dagestan, where almost daily skirmishes between people in the underground fighters and terrorists hunters.
Eleven billion euros is expected to cost the project, developed and promoted by Alexander Khloponin, a former top executive and governor. A year ago, Medvedev had made him his Caucasus officer with the rank of deputy heads of government. Hard-liners in Moscow are now calling for a sharper contrast crackdown: more power and personnel for the already bloated intelligence agencies and the corrupt police.
It is a reflex that is by no means limited to Russia, a country where the desire for a strong man after the collapse of the Soviet Union, income losses and social instability in the nineties especially pronounced. The Putin-line: "Cold-making, no matter where" In Russia, referring to advocate a hard line on a series of successful anti-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus last year, the "liquidation" of the chief ideologues of the underground fighters, Said Burjatski, the capture of the underground leader Akhmed-Yewlojew Taziew aka Magas.
The Russian law enforcement agencies operate in the Caucasus, often outside the law. Like to be police officers and agents adhere to a motto that Vladimir Putin spent in 1999 after a wave of terrorist attacks. "We will make it cold, no matter where we find them, be it on the crapper," he announced.
A Hydra same but grow back in for every severed head two align themselves with each other to the Islamic militants killed in armed underground. Russia must, therefore, the battle for hearts and minds of the people in provinces such as Ingushetia, Chechnya, and Kabardino-Balkaria win. In the region with its seven million, mostly Muslim population dwindles, the appeal of the secular state.
He does worse and is less and less able, prosperity and security of its citizens. Corruption undermines prestige and authority of government institutions. Police officers who are on the main road across the North Caucasus had stationed by per capita equivalent of $ 2,000 has been driven by them to deliver bribes to superiors.
The baksheesh pyramids extend to officials in Moscow ministries. The Islamists promised deliverance from all evils of everyday life not only in the afterlife but here on earth, is not the communist doctrines unlike earlier decades. Who will they impede the need to provide an attractive alternative model.
Ski resorts should not have to be the instrument of choice. Increasing the number of ski tourists from the current few thousand to several hundred thousand seems like an unrealistic daydream.
