Security ... think about it!
Russian security forces and intelligence agencies, both local and federal, have been waging a brutal campaign against Islamist insurgents in the violent republics of Ingushetia, Chechnya and Dagestan. James Nixey, a Russia expert at the London-based Chatham House thinktank, said: "You have to look at the North Caucasus." He said that did not necessarily mean Chechnya, "where Ramzan Kadyrov, Russia's puppet president and local strongman, has achieved a reasonable level of control and where guerrilla activity has been squeezed out elsewhere to Ingushetia and Dagestan".
