A Partnership Between Russia and the West? Here's Why It's Not Happening
Monday August 29th, 2016 at 11:45 AM

In a recent interview for Defense News TV, Russia defense analyst Ruslan Pukhov of Moscow offered an interesting prospect: a union of Russia and the West could very well happen, he said, replacing the current so-called Cold War Part II the regions find themselves in, spurred by the common threat of terrorism. 

He compared the unlikely coupling to that of Joseph Stalin and Franklin Roosevelt during World War II, uniting with the lesser of two evils for a common good. 

Perhaps we’ll get to that place. But for now, there seems a lot of factors in the way. 

Consider that Vladamir Putin is not Stalin in the eyes of the Western World, nor is ISIS the same as Nazi Germany. That’s not to rank Western adversaries, but rather to point to notable distinctions that could prevent a true, productive partnership to be forged. 

For one thing, at the time of Stalin’s rule, the Soviet Union was a superpower. It also had tried, albeit with limited success, to cooperate with Nazi Germany. Such cooperation would have posed a perhaps insurmountable challenge to the West. A carefully crafted union between Stalin, Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, the allies had to figure, diminished that threat of a bigger, more powerful enemy. 

Contrast that with today’s Russia. It’s not a superpower, despite actions that hint at a desire to be. And any other potential cooperation with the common threat of the moment – the Islamic State and other terrorist groups – does not exist. That common threat does not seek political expansion as much as philosophical domination. Russia offers no advantage to those groups. By the same token, the world has changed. Eastern Europe is not under the thumb of a communist superpower. It rather is attempting to combat insurgency, and looking to the West to support such efforts. A union between the west and Moscow would run counter to that, at least in the eyes of the countries that feel most threatened. 

The US and Russia continue to struggle to create even a basic information sharing agreement in Syria in order to target ISIS forces there, with the Pentagon last week warning that those conversation cannot go on indefinitely. If the two countries cannot operate together against terrorism, as they did in the early days of the post-9/11 era, it throws cold water on the idea of a broader realignment between Russia and the US. 

Could the dynamic shift? Even Pukhov concedes that chances are pretty low until the situation in Crimea is resolved – a situation that the Ukraine Ambassador in the US Valeriy Chaly called not only occupation, but an information war from Russia that attempts to blackmail Europe. 
Nor could any true partnership happen when Russia poses such a threat to NATO members along the Eastern Flank. It’s a political quagmire. 

So here we are. The odds of that degree of cooperation seemingly so small. And yet, as Pukhov said, “whenever I feel full of pessimism, some terrible terrorist attack happens, like the one in Nice.” 

And then he thinks, maybe.

Global Terrorist, Criminal Networks Southcom’s Biggest Threat > U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE > Article
Monday August 29th, 2016 at 8:55 AM

1 Share
WASHINGTON, March 11, 2016 — Global terrorist and criminal networks are U.S. Southern Command’s biggest threat, corrosively affecting the stability and security of the United States and every country they infect, Navy Adm. Kurt W. Tidd told a Senate panel yesterday.
The Southcom commander, testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee for the first time since taking command in January, also discussed how the fiscal year 2017 DoD budget request affects Southcom.
“No two networks are alike,” Tidd said. Some are international criminal enterprises focused on transporting any illicit cargo for the right price, he said, while others are small operations that smuggle desperate migrants.
Other networks support terrorist organizations through financing and the spread of violent extremist ideology, he told the panel.
Global competitors also threaten the region, the admiral said.
Global Challenges
“They operate deliberately in the Western Hemisphere as part of their broader global strategies. The most concerning of them is Russia, which portrays the United States in our theater as unreliable and as withdrawing from this pivotal region,” Tidd said.
Security in the Western Hemisphere connects directly to other parts of the world, the admiral said.
“Smuggling networks run through South America directly into our homeland [and] foreign terrorist fighters flow from the Caribbean to Syria and to Iraq,” Tidd added.
As part of its global strategy, he said, Russia tries to discredit U.S. reliability as a trustworthy partner in the United States’ own region.
“These issues transcend artificial boundaries and demand a transregional, united response,” the admiral said.
Colombia and FARC
Also in Southcom’s area of responsibility is Colombia, Tidd said, a country where the United States has worked for decades to help countering narcotrafficking and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarios de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, called the FARC.
Yet, hard work remains to done in Colombia, the admiral said, including extending government influence into dangerous criminal-controlled territory, confronting the persistent threat of cocaine production and trafficking, and securing peace after more than 50 years of conflict.
“With the blood and treasure that they have already sacrificed,” Tidd said, “with all that they continue to do to export security across the region, the Colombian people have more than earned our sustained support.”
Central America
Regarding Central America, the admiral said Southcom recognized during the 2014 migrant crisis -- when nearly 500,000 Central American and Mexican migrants were apprehended on the U.S. border -- that what happens on the streets of San Salvador and Tegucigalpa has a direct impact on the streets of Tucson and Providence.
“Our Central American partners are doing all they can to win their countries back from vicious gangs and narcotraffickers, but they cannot do it alone. And because we remain the No. 1 world's consumer of illicit drugs, we owe it to them to do our part,” Tidd said.
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, also in Southcom’s area of responsibility, the admiral said, “is where we conduct the most principled, humane detention operations anywhere in the world, and we will continue to do so until the very last detainee steps on an airplane and departs the island.”
Limited Resources
In response to a question about whether the fiscal year 2017 DoD budget request has adequate resources for Southcom, Tidd said it does not.
“I do not have the ships, I do not have the aircraft to be able to execute the detection-monitoring mission to the level that has been established for us to achieve,” he said.
Southcom’s U.S. partners in the region, including the Navy in the Caribbean and the Pacific, who coordinate with the law enforcement arm of the Coast Guard, need resources too, Tidd said.
“It is very much a team sport. The activities orchestrated by our Joint Interagency Task Force South in Key West, Florida, involve the efforts of all of the federal law enforcement agencies, [and] the Coast Guard, plays a very significant role,” the admiral said.
In the Southcom region, he added, the adversary is flexible and agile.
“It's like squeezing a balloon,” Tidd said. “When we squeeze in one place if we are not able to apply pressure across the entire breadth of the network they will adapt and move to the area that they think they can get into.”
Zika Outbreak
On the regional outbreak of Zika virus that began in Brazil, Tidd described Southcom’s role in such epidemics.
In May, the Pan American Health Organization issued an alert about the first confirmed Zika virus infection in Brazil. That outbreak, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, led to reports of Guillain-Barre syndrome and women giving birth to babies with microcephaly and other birth defects and having “poor pregnancy outcomes.”
During the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak, Tidd said that a large interagency network was formed and Southcom was a key participant, and the group was re-energized with the Zika outbreak.
“We remain postured to respond to requests for assistance from our partner nations in Southcom. We have put out specific guidance to the men and women who are part of our command operating in that region,” the admiral told the panel.
Zika and Service Members
Protective measures that impact service members, he added, are the same measures that have been in place to protect them from exposure to dengue fever, chikungunya and other mosquito-borne illnesses.
To date, the only two male service members who have been diagnosed with Zika have recovered and returned to duty,” Tidd said.
One military family member, a pregnant female, has taken advantage of a policy that allows a return to the United States, Tidd said. The family already had been scheduled to return to the United States, so hers was a slightly accelerated return, he added.
“We're working with the countries, primarily on training in the mosquito eradication programs,” he said. “Their militaries are very heavily engaged in those activities, so that's where we stand, right now.”
The admiral said that the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 6 in Peru, part of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch, has been doing work in the development of experimental vaccines and disease-detection methods related to mosquito-borne diseases like Zika.

Joseph Humire: Iran's Embassies in Latin America Function More as Intelligence Centers
Monday August 29th, 2016 at 8:30 AM

ASHARQ AL-AWSAT
1 Share
The executive director at the Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS) Joseph Humire
Coinciding with the Iranian Foreign Minister’s visit to South America, analysts specializing in security affairs and the fight against terrorism said that the consolidation of relations with Iran is an extension of the terrorist Lebanese group Hezbollah’s might in the continent.
In an exclusive interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, the executive director at the Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS) Joseph Humire revealed the reality of the Lebanese Hezbollah’s activities in Latin America and how Iran is using its embassies there as intelligence centers.
How does Hezbollah operate in Latin America?
Hezbollah operates on two levels in Latin America – on a licit and illicit level. Firstly, on the illicit level, Hezbollah operates through a variety of front companies and illicit businesses used to launder money and move drugs from Latin America to Africa and the Middle East. Operation Titan, a two year case that Colombian and US agents worked on, uncovered a multi-ton, multi-million dollar cocaine trafficking ring in 2008 that led to the arrest of 130 individuals, namely Ayman Joumaa who is designated as a Hezbollah kingpin. More recently, the DEA identified more individuals and entities within Hezbollah’s business and banking network through Project Cassandra. The bottom line is that Hezbollah is intricately involved in the illicit (human, arms, narcotics) trafficking networks of Latin America.
Secondly, on the licit level, Hezbollah is present in various Islamic communities throughout the region, namely Syrian and Lebanese communities, where they establish themselves through Islamic centers and mosques. The Yousseff and Barakat brothers from the Tri-Border Area are examples of this, and they both exported their networks to other countries (i.e. Chile and Brazil, respectively). These networks have now spread as far north as El Salvador and Mexico. Through these communities they raise money for Hezbollah proper in the homeland (Lebanon) and establish logistical networks for sleeper cells strategically placed throughout the region. These communities are also how Hezbollah communicates and cooperates with Iran in Latin America.
How long have they been in Latin America?
Hezbollah has been in Latin America since it was founding in the early 1980s, and was originally in the Tri-Border Area (Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina) and surrounding cities in the Southern Cone of South America. Over time, it steadily spread north into Central America and the Caribbean and now has a presence in Mexico as well. Hezbollah has been in Latin America for more than 30 years.
Which countries are they in?
Hezbollah is in practically every country throughout Latin America. It would be easier to name the countries Hezbollah is not operating in but that might be because I simply don’t know of their particular presence in that country, not necessarily because they are not there. The northern Caribbean (Dom Rep, Puerto Rico, Haiti, etc.) is an area where I have not detected a heavy Hezbollah presence, although they are in Cuba. Their heaviest presence I would say is in Venezuela, Panama, Colombia and Brazil, while still maintaining a significant presence in the TBA, namely Paraguay.
How does Iranian terrorism operate in Latin America?
Iran sponsors terrorism in Latin America by supporting Hezbollah and other terrorist groups through its various embassies throughout the region. Iran’s embassies in Latin America function more as intelligence centers than diplomatic outposts, which provide command and control over some of the Hezbollah networks in the region. The tactical playbook for the AMIA attack in 1994 in Argentina is the best example of how this network operates, and how Iran and Hezbollah coordinate to conduct terrorist attacks. What you learn from studying the AMIA case is that the Iranian embassies use cultural and commercial exchange with Latin American countries to insert its intelligence (MOIS) and military (IRGC) operatives who then augment Hezbollah networks with increased logistical and financial support.
As an example, prior to the AMIA attack in Argentina extending to the current day in Brazil, Iran exploits one of their most important and only legitimate commercial links in the region: the beef trade. By introducing the Halal (permissible) process in Latin America, Iran established the perfect cover for its undercover operatives.
According to Islamic law, all meat imported to Iran must be Halal certified, thus, Iran created Halal certification companies in Argentina to send inspectors who turned out to be intelligence operatives that prepared the AMIA attack. Mohsen Rabbani, the infamous Iranian cleric accused of being the mastermind of the AMIA attack in Argentina, initially entered the country as a Halal beef inspector.
In Brazil, SFS researched this network of Halal beef businesses extensively and found a phantom Iranian “consulate” that was officially registered in São Paulo but did not provide any consular services. This consulate was registered at the same address as several Iranian Halal certification companies, which led us to believe that the same kind of cultural-commercial-diplomatic nexus used prior to the AMIA attack in Argentina is currently active in Brazil. Today, similar activity is taking place in Colombia and Peru.
Are some Latin American counties supporting this terrorism? Why? Which countries?
Iran has made significant inroads in the countries that belong to the Bolivarian Alliance of the Americas (Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, El Salvador, and some Caribbean countries). These countries provide state support to Iran’s network, both their formal networks and their clandestine ones. More than 75% of the bilateral agreements Iran has signed with Latin America are with these specific countries, and three of these countries stood up a new Iranian embassy within the last decade.
With regards to terrorism, these countries have their own proxy networks (i.e. Cocaleros in Bolivia, Colectivos in Venezuela, etc.) that have benefited from Iran’s expertise in this area. For instance, Iran’s Basij militia helped train the Venezuelan colectivos on clandestine communication prior to their repression of student movements in 2014. In return, these ALBA countries provide several benefits to Iran, most notably immigration services. Again, Venezuela is a case in point.
From 2008 to 2012, our research at SFS identified at least 173 individuals from Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, or Jordan who received fraudulent passports, visas or birth certificates from Venezuela. This means that these ALBA countries have created an intelligence and immigration pipeline that provides cover and concealment for some Iranian and Hezbollah operatives to move freely and undetected throughout the region.
Beyond terrorism, these ALBA countries have also established military ties with Iran. In Venezuela, Iran has important strategic mil-mil programs with Venezuela’s military industry (CAVIM). In Bolivia, Iran helped fund the ALBA regional defense school in Warnes, near Santa Cruz. In Ecuador, they established a banking network that is closely tied to that country’s central bank. In Nicaragua, Iran is present within military circles and in Cuba, they have their most longstanding relationship in Latin America with the Castro brothers. I believe Iran’s presence in Latin America has moved beyond supporting terrorism (although that is still a concern) and has entered a new phase of military and paramilitary engagement.
Should the non-ALBA counties be scared of the relationship between Iran and ALBA?
Yes, but not just because of Iran’s relationship with ALBA but also because Iran has focused on the non-ALBA countries as their primary target in recent years. Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, being the largest countries in the region in terms of GDP would be Iran’s geopolitical prize in Latin America and as such the Islamic Republic has focused on these countries. Moreover, Colombia, Chile, and Peru, have also been a focus for Iran because of their status as members of the Pacific Alliance.
The relationship Iran has with ALBA countries is a major factor as to why Iran has been able to exponentially expand its regional presence. Iran can easily use their ties to the ALBA as a proxy or surrogate force in Latin America to do its bidding. In this sense, Iran’s activity in Venezuela can prove very destabilizing to Colombia who already has tensions on the border with that country.
In Bolivia, Iran’s activity could heighten tensions with Chile over access to the ocean. These types of proxy conflicts is how Iran leverages its control in the region. No different than how it operates in the Middle East, subverting the governments in Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and increasingly Bahrain, then using those governments to carry out actions favorable to Iran’s strategic interests.
Iran’s use of proxy networks in Yemen is another example of a different method of population control it has specialized in. These same methods and same specialities is why Iran has seen so much success in Latin America, and most regional governments don’t even realize they are doing this.
In essence, as Iran gains more global legitimacy it becomes easier for it to infiltrate and subvert targeted countries around the world. The nuclear deal with the P5+1 has provided this legitimacy and it is now capitalizing on this in Latin America with the current visit of Iranian FM Zarif to ALBA countries and Chile. Iran has already proven to be capable of doing this in the Middle East, it is now showing that it is capable of doing this in Latin America.
How do the drug cartels operate with Hezbollah? What other activities do they undertake in Latin America?
The drug cartels depend on Hezbollah to transport their products through Africa into Europe and the Middle East. While not exclusive to Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist group has dominated certain routes that make it essential for drug cartels to get their products in eastern markets. Hezbollah has also established an impressive business and banking network that can launder massive sums of money that is useful for the drug cartels in the region.
Does Hezbollah get protection from some Latin American countries? Can it use this protection to strengthen and attack other countries?
Yes, although it is not clear to what extent. It is clear that Venezuela has provided state support in terms of immigration and banking to Hezbollah but it is not clear in what other areas. It is also clear that Hezbollah has established “safe zones” in places like Margarita Island and Ciudad Bolivar. The Venezuelan government has repeatedly denied these claims, but over time more evidence has been publicly revealed of Venezuela’s support to Hezbollah. The most significant, in my opinion, is the immigration services the Venezuelan government has provided for Hezbollah and Iran. For any foreign terrorist organization or intelligence service, having the ability to change or conceal your identity through a legitimate cover provided by a partner nation is a dream come true. Venezuela has provided this service to Hezbollah as the top regional partner of Iran. Bolivia is another country of concern in this regard, but it is not clear to what extent. Nor has much evidence been made public in regard to Bolivia’s support to Hezbollah.

Reports: Iran Recruiting Jihadists, Sponsoring Terror Through Latin American Embassies

Iran is seeking to recruit potential jihadists in Latin America to attack the United States and is using its embassies in the region as intelligence centers that promote terrorism, according to an expert on the Islamic Republic’s presence in the Americas and an anonymous congressional source.

The expert warned that Latin America operations linked to Iran’s narco-terrorist proxy Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite group, have spread as far north as Mexico.

Joseph Humire, an expert on Iranian influence in Latin America and executive director at the Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS), in a recent exclusive interview with Asharq Al-Awsat declared:
These [Hezbollah] networks have now spread as far north as El Salvador and Mexico. Through these communities they raise money for Hezbollah proper in the homeland (Lebanon) and establish logistical networks for sleeper cells strategically placed throughout the region…Hezbollah is in practically every country throughout Latin America…
Iran sponsors terrorism in Latin America by supporting Hezbollah and other terrorist groups through its various embassies throughout the region. Iran’s embassies in Latin America function more as intelligence centers than diplomatic outposts, which provide command and control over some of the Hezbollah networks in the region.
The remarks about Iran in Latin America come amid a six-nation tour in the region by the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.
An anonymous senior congressional source recently told the Washington Free Beacon that Iran is seeking to recruit “potential terrorists who want to cause the U.S. harm.”
The source added:
[Hezbollah operatives] can travel easily to Venezuela, and once there, they can get to Nicaragua or Cuba without passports or visas, which poses a national security risk for our nation…
Just recently, a Hezbollah member was picked up in Brazil, an explosive device was found near the Israeli embassy in Uruguay, and Hezbollah members are reportedly traveling on Venezuelan passports. It was not too long ago that Venezuela offered flights to Iran and Syria, and as of last week, Hezbollah cells were found in the West Bank where Venezuela lifted its visa requirements for Palestinians.
The expert, Humire, said that Iran has established a close relationship with the left-leaning countries that belong to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, also known for its Spanish acronym ALBA, including Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, El Salvador, and some other Caribbean nations.
He added that some Latin American governments — particularly Venezuela, which has refused to cooperate with the United States on anti-terrorism operations in the region — are providing protection to Hezbollah operatives.
The State Department has reached similar conclusions, changing its tune from 2013 when it determined that Iran’s influence in the Western Hemisphere was “waning.”
In a report released earlier this year, the department warned against Hezbollah-linked activities in Latin America, adding that the anti-U.S. Venezuelan government provides a “permissive environment” that promotes ideological and financial support for the Shiite terror group, which is engaged in the trafficking of drugs and humans in the region.
Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), told Breitbart News Daily on Friday that the Shiite terrorist group is illegally trafficking drugs and humans into the United States.
Gen. Flynn’s comments about the threat Hezbollah poses to the United States echo the warnings by the anonymous congressional source and reports prepared by the top U.S. military leader in Latin America and the Caribbean, Navy Adm. Kurt Tidd, chief of U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).
Breitbart News learned from the U.S. military last year that Hezbollah and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are using a rapidly growing number of Iranian cultural centers spread across Latin America to expand the Islamic Republic’s covert recruitment operations in the region.
In a statement about the Iranian foreign minister’s visit to Latin America, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R., Fla.), chair of the House Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, said:
Iran’s latest inroads into our Hemisphere should come as no surprise in the wake of the Obama administration’s misguided nuclear deal. Flush with cash from sanctions relief and ransom payments, Zarif will no doubt seek to bolster the foothold Iran has been building in recent years, especially through its terrorist proxy Hezbollah…
Tehran’s classic playbook is to use cultural centers, new embassies or consulates, or cooperative agreements on various areas to act as façades aimed at expanding Iran’s radical extremist network. The threat to U.S. national security interests and our allies should be setting off alarm bells.
A recent Breitbart News analysis of U.S. government data found that the United States has apprehended 916 illegals from terrorism-linked countries along the Southwest border alone since 2014, including 12 Iranians. Moreover, Breitbart News found that U.S. government data shows the Muslim population in Latin America has increased 25 percent to nearly 3 million in recent years, amid U.S. military concerns of Islamic radicalization and recruitment by jihadi groups such as Hebollah in the region.

Former U.S. Counterterrorism Chief Criticizes French Burkini Ban by Mahita Gajanan

Michael Leiter, former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, said France’s ban on full-body burkini swimsuits will cause a division in the country, making it more vulnerable to terror attacks.
“I think it certainly really can cause a schism, and schism is exactly what ISIS will look to take advantage of,” Leiter told ABC’s Martha Raddatz, who asked about the effects the burkini ban would have on France.
More than 20 French towns have sought to ban Muslim women from wearing the full-body swimsuit, with the mayor of Cannes saying burkinis are a dangerous “symbol of Islamic extremism.”
Leiter said the burkini ban would further alienate Muslims in France.
“Banning the burkini doesn’t produce terrorists. But it does make the people who are already alienated, who are already disenfranchised, I many cases, economically disenfranchised in a place like France in many of those neighborhoods, and make them say, ah, ISIS’s message is true and real,” he said.

File Photo of Sergei Ivanov, adapted from defense.gov image
(opendemocracy.net – Mark Galeotti – August 16, 2016)
Mark Galeotti is principal director of the Mayak Intelligence consultancy and a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
True to the informal tradition that August brings surprises in #Russia, on the 12th it was announced that Vladimir Putin’s chief of staff, Sergei Ivanov, was leaving his position as head of the Presidential Administration (AP) and taking up the new and rather less pivotal job of presidential representative for transport and the environment. In his place, Putin elevated one of Ivanov’s deputies, the essentially-unknown 44-year old Anton Vaino. Whatever Vaino’s strengths, this points to the way Putin is hollowing out his inner elite, surrounding himself with fewer but also less substantial peers, who are unlikely to challenge his worldview and opinions.
Ivanov’s departure was both unexpected and significant. Although Ivanov has since claimed that in 2012, when Putin returned to the presidency, he asked only to hold this admittedly onerous job for four years, there had been no previous hint of such an understanding. A shrewd and polished operator, Ivanov seemed at once ambitious and indispensable (asked whom he trusted back in 1999, Putin’s immediate response: “Sergei Ivanov”). Furthermore, the AP has become the most important single institution in Putin’s regime. Prime minister Dmitri Medvedev and his ministers are there to execute policy; the AP is there to help (and sometimes lobby) Putin to make it.
Coming as it did after the rotation of several regional leaders, as well as a series of other promotions and dismissals, this has inevitably raised all kinds of excited speculation (the perils of cultural stereotype: what would be called a “reshuffle” in the west tends to become a “purge” in Russia) about the emergence of a neo-Stalinist form of autocracy or, at the other extreme, wild claims of splits in the leadership and a challenge to Putin.
The bottom line, of course, is that there is much we do not know, and the new trend towards “Kremlinology 2.0” is often based on little data and a lot of enthusiastic speculation.
Nonetheless, one can make certain inferences. First of all, Ivanov is being taken conclusively out of the running as a potential successor, but with honour. His new position is something of a sinecure, but both important (transport is a crucial portfolio) and suited to his interests (his commitment to the environment is genuine).
Ivanov’s ambition was no secret, although since the death of his son Alexander in 2014, those close to him have suggested that this appeared to be less of a driving force. It is possible he did simply think it was time for a change and Putin (as he did earlier this year with Federal Guard Service head and praetorian-in-chief Evgenii Murov) let him go.
But his departure could also be part of Putin’s clearing of the old guard in advance of the 2018 presidential elections. The Kremlin was caught by surprise when the rigged presidential elections in 2011 led to the “Bolotnaya protests”. This time, although they do not seem to know quite what to expect, there is a clear intention to be ready, come what may. The creation of the new National Guard in April provides a force able and, presumably, willing to tackle any protests on the streets. And at the same time, Putin, less trusting of the elite, is taking the opportunity to install a new cadre of officials who are younger and have more to prove and less to lose.
Whereas once Putin looked to his former comrades in the KGB and the St. Petersburg administration for his go-to guys, now he is recruiting disproportionately from the people he knows. Given his cloistered lifestyle, that often means bodyguards, personal assistants, and the like. Vaino, for example, was head of his personal protocol office (and even memorably carried his umbrella from time to time).
This, however, does not represent a fundamental change in the system. Putin has always been the unchallenged “decider” presiding over a court of boyars who know their power, wealth and futures depended on the tsar’s favour. And while many of the new appointees are not yet well-known, we cannot assume that they are all docile yes-men and colourless ciphers. Today’s grateful appointee will likely become tomorrow’s arrogant power in the land. The inexorable logic of Putin’s personalised, de-institutionalised and essentially ruthless regime is that he must periodically devour his favourites – where Yakunin and Ivanov go, other past cronies such as Rosneft head Igor Sechin and deputy prime minister Igor Shuvalov may well follow – as they become tiresome, embarrassing or a threat.
What makes this iteration more noteworthy and worrying than most, though, is that it takes place at a volatile time when Putin himself is increasingly willing to sacrifice the immediate interests of the Russian people for his vision of a powerful, “sovereign” Russia and his own historical legacy. In their own self-interested and sometimes wrong-headed way, the boyars are one of the few checks and balances.
This had anyway become less and less effective as intelligence became politicised, the AP squeezed out dissenting voices, and Putin himself turned away from figures such as former finance minister Alexei Kudrin who insist on telling it like it is. But while in time Putin’s new generation may grow into the same role, for the moment they will be more eager to consolidate their positions of trust. They will also lack the authority, the dense network of connections and the sheer experience to be able to articulate alternative perspectives.
More dismissals are almost inevitable. At a time when Russia is heading into renewed turbulence, just when Putin could do with some strong peers, he appears determined to ensure he has none around him willing to express uncomfortable truths.

A Powerful Russian Weapon: The Spread of False Stories
Sunday August 28th, 2016 at 9:23 AM

1 Share
“The dynamic is always the same: It originates somewhere in Russia, on Russia state media sites, or different websites or somewhere in that kind of context,” said Anders Lindberg, a Swedish journalist and lawyer.
“Then the fake document becomes the source of a news story distributed on far-left or far-right-wing websites,” he said. “Those who rely on those sites for news link to the story, and it spreads. Nobody can say where they come from, but they end up as key issues in a security policy decision.”
Although the topics may vary, the goal is the same, Mr. Lindberg and others suggested. “What the Russians are doing is building narratives; they are not building facts,” he said. “The underlying narrative is, ‘Don’t trust anyone.’”
The weaponization of information is not some project devised by a Kremlin policy expert but is an integral part of Russian military doctrine — what some senior military figures call a “decisive” battlefront.
“The role of nonmilitary means of achieving political and strategic goals has grown, and, in many cases, they have exceeded the power of force of weapons in their effectiveness,” Gen. Valery V. Gerasimov, the chief of the general staff of the Russian Armed Forces, wrote in 2013.
A prime Kremlin target is Europe, where the rise of the populist right and declining support for the European Union create an ever more receptive audience for Russia’s conservative, nationalistic and authoritarian approach under Mr. Putin. Last year, the European Parliament accused Russia of “financing radical and extremist parties” in its member states, and in 2014 the Kremlin extended an $11.7 million loan to the National Front, the extreme-right party in France.
“The Russians are very good at courting everyone who has a grudge with liberal democracy, and that goes from extreme right to extreme left,” said Patrik Oksanen, an editorial writer for the Swedish newspaper group MittMedia. The central idea, he said, is that “liberal democracy is corrupt, inefficient, chaotic and, ultimately, not democratic.”
Another message, largely unstated, is that European governments lack the competence to deal with the crises they face, particularly immigration and terrorism, and that their officials are all American puppets.
In Germany, concerns over immigrant violence grew after a 13-year-old Russian-German girl said she had been raped by migrants. A report on Russian state television furthered the story. Even after the police debunked the claim, Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, continued to chastise Germany.
In Britain, analysts said, the Kremlin’s English-language news outlets heavily favored the campaign for the country to leave the European Union, despite their claims of objectivity.
In the Czech Republic, alarming, sensational stories portraying the United States, the European Union and immigrants as villains appear daily across a cluster of about 40 pro-Russia websites.
During NATO military exercises in early June, articles on the websites suggested that Washington controlled Europe through the alliance, with Germany as its local sheriff. Echoing the disinformation that appeared in Sweden, the reports said NATO planned to store nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe and would attack Russia from there without seeking approval from local capitals.
A poll this summer by European Values, a think tank in Prague, found that 51 percent of Czechs viewed the United States’ role in Europe negatively, only 32 percent viewed the European Union positively, and at least a quarter believed some elements of the disinformation.
“The data show how public opinion is changing thanks to the disinformation on those outlets,” said Jakub Janda, the think tank’s deputy director for public and political affairs. “They try to look like a regular media outlet even if they have a hidden agenda.”
Not all Russian disinformation efforts succeed. Sputnik news websites in various Scandinavian languages failed to attract enough readers and were closed after less than a year.
Both RT and Sputnik portray themselves as independent, alternative voices. Sputnik claims that it “tells the untold,” even if its daily report relies heavily on articles abridged from other sources. RT trumpets the slogan “Question More.”
Both depict the West as grim, divided, brutal, decadent, overrun with violent immigrants and unstable. “They want to give a picture of Europe as some sort of continent that is collapsing,” Mr. Hultqvist, the Swedish defense minister, said in an interview.
RT often seems obsessed with the United States, portraying life there as hellish. Its coverage of the Democratic National Convention, for example, skipped the speeches and focused instead on scattered demonstrations. It defends the Republican presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, as an underdog maligned by the established news media.
Margarita Simonyan, RT’s editor in chief, said the channel was being singled out as a threat because it offered a different narrative from “the Anglo-American media-political establishment.” RT, she said, wants to provide “a perspective otherwise missing from the mainstream media echo chamber.”
Moscow’s targeting of the West with disinformation dates to a Cold War program the Soviets called “active measures.” The effort involved leaking or even writing stories for sympathetic newspapers in India and hoping that they would be picked up in the West, said Professor Mark N. Kramer, a Cold War expert at Harvard.
The story that AIDS was a C.I.A. project run amok spread that way, and it poisons the discussion of the disease decades later. At the time, before the Soviet Union’s 1991 collapse, the Kremlin was selling communism as an ideological alternative. Now, experts said, the ideological component has evaporated, but the goal of weakening adversaries remains.
In Sweden recently, that has meant a series of bizarre forged letters and news articles about NATO and linked to Russia.
One forgery, on Defense Ministry letterhead over Mr. Hultqvist’s signature, encouraged a major Swedish firm to sell artillery to Ukraine, a move that would be illegal in Sweden. Ms. Nyh Radebo, his spokeswoman, put an end to that story in Sweden, but at international conferences, Mr. Hultqvist still faced questions about the nonexistent sales.
Russia also made at least one overt attempt to influence the debate. During a seminar in the spring, Vladimir Kozin, a senior adviser to the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, a think tank linked to the Kremlin and Russian foreign intelligence, argued against any change in Sweden’s neutral status.
“Do they really need to lose their neutral status?” he said of the Swedes. “To permit fielding new U.S. military bases on their territory and to send their national troops to take part in dubious regional conflicts?”
Whatever the method or message, Russia clearly wants to win any information war, as Dmitry Kiselyev, Russia’s most famous television anchor and the director of the organization that runs Sputnik, made clear recently.
Speaking this summer on the 75th anniversary of the Soviet Information Bureau, Mr. Kiselyev said the age of neutral journalism was over. “If we do propaganda, then you do propaganda, too,” he said, directing his message to Western journalists.
“Today, it is much more costly to kill one enemy soldier than during the World War II, World War I or in the Middle Ages,” he said in an interview on the state-run Rossiya 24 network. While the business of “persuasion” is more expensive now, too, he said, “if you can persuade a person, you don’t need to kill him.”
