Statements by the Islamic State indicate that there will be further terrorist attacks in Russia. Members of the criminal organization were very surprised that the Russian Federation blamed anyone other than ISIS for their attack.
“In the future, the danger is real regarding terrorist attacks in Russia. I think that ISIS will at least try to carry out terrorist attacks in order to confirm their right to attack. I believe that they were suddenly captured by the Russians’ claim that someone did it other, and not the “Islamic State”. That is, ISIS, frankly speaking, were somewhat surprised. In my opinion, the statements that were made indicate that there will be further terrorist attacks. Although this may be part of such a raising of the stakes in the game,” said Igor Semivolos, director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, on Espresso.
According to the expert, recently one can see how relations between the Taliban and Moscow are developing. In this regard, the key issue is the security of Central Asia and preventing the spread of Islamism.
“The Russians will have to reorient their intelligence services again, and this will be much more difficult to do than in the 2010s, when they were able to create a more or less effective security system to counter Islamism. However, then these were specific challenges associated mainly with the North Caucasus. Now the situation is much worse, given the large number of guest workers, whom Russians cannot do without. And what we see today on the streets of Russian cities, and this is the increase in xenophobia, attacks, everything else – this can also actualize the desire for revenge among some of these guest workers.” , – summed up Semivolos.
