Invasion of Dagestan (1999) - Conspiracy Theories

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:

    If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    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)
