Prime Minister Zakayev’s Book Presented in London

The Frontline Club has organized an evening to present Mr Akhmed Zakayev’s book titled “Subjugate or Exterminate!: A Memoir of Russia’s Wars in Chechnya“.

The two wars waged by Russia against Chechnya in the 1990s and 2000s did not attract much international attention but they played a crucial role in shaping Russia’s subsequent behaviour both domestically and beyond its borders. The military campaigns started by former President Yeltsin and eagerly expanded upon by President Putin were disastrous for the Chechens – 250,000, a quarter of the whole Chechen population, were killed, 40 000 of them children, but they also proved to become a precedent for Russia’s treatment of its neighbours as well as determined the overall course for its foreign policy.

Everything that the Russian government has done since: invading Georgia and Ukraine, annexing Crimea, meddling in Syria, Venezuela and the Central African Republic – is the echo of the Chechen campaigns. The first steps in developing an effective information war and discrediting the Western media were also taken during the second Russian – Chechen War.

Putin, who became Russian Prime Minister in 1999 and President in 2000, made a special effort to prevent information from coming out of the region: during the second Russian – Chechen war foreign journalists were practically refused entry into the so-called “counter-terrorist” operation zone, and their brave Russian colleagues, such as Anna Politkovskaya (1958-2006) and Natalia Estemirova (1958 -2009), who tried to expose what was going on in Chechnya, were ruthlessly killed. The key problem, however, was that the world did not want to know about Chechnya. Eager to buy Russian oil and gas the West turned a blind eye to Putin’s imperial ambitions and his crimes against humanity so unabated he carried on.

During the event at the Frontline Club in London, on February 19, 2020, Luke Harding, Guardian’s foreign news journalist in Moscow, discussed these issues in conversation with Mr Akhmed Zakayev. Let’s recall that Mr Zakayev, the London-based Chechen leader whom Russia has long sought to extradite from the UK, fought in both Russian-Chechen wars, and was variously a minister, a military commander, a negotiator, a presidential candidate and the current Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria government.
