Conspiracy Theories
Because the invasion of Dagestan served as a trigger for the Second Chechen War that led to an eventual Russian victory, a number of conspiracy theories claimed it was not a Wahhabi attempt to create a Caucasian Emirate, but rather a false flag attack orchestrated by the Kremlin. Not a single person actually involved in the Dagestan War has been able to confirm any of them.

Famous quotes containing the words conspiracy and/or theories:
“Impenetrable in their dissimulation, cruel in their vengeance, tenacious in their purposes, unscrupulous as to their methods, animated by profound and hidden hatred for the tyranny of man—it is as though there exists among them an ever-present conspiracy toward domination, a sort of alliance like that subsisting among the priests of every country.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms.”
—J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
