Moscow Forming Latin American-Style ‘Death Squads’ in Occupied Crimea and Elsewhere, Shmulyevich Says

            Staunton, May 12 – Avraam Shmulyevich says that Moscow is forming Latin American-style “death squads” in occupied Crimea, the Russian Federation and even in some Western countries and that the Kremlin plans to use them to promote the militarization of society, the suppression of dissent, and the defeat of its enemies in the event of a real war.

            In an interview with Kseniya Kirillova for Radio Liberty, the Israeli expert says “the numerous ‘Cossack cadet corps” Moscow is setting up “do not have any relationship to the real Cossacks … [Instead,] These detachments recall not the Cossacks [of Russian history] but ‘the death squads’ in Latin America” (ru.krymr.com/a/29221535.html).

            The two post-Soviet Chechen wars showed the Kremlin that “the post-Soviet people does not want to die,” Shmulyevich continues. Indeed, that attitude, many analysts say, is a major reason that has prevented Putin up to now from engaging in even broader forms of aggression abroad at least for the present.
