Residents of Russia’s Muslim-majority republics of the North Caucasus and the Volga region often pay just as much attention to developments in the Middle East as they do to their own country’s war in Ukraine, The Moscow Times media outlet says.
High war losses and evidence of disproportionate mobilization from tightly knit Indigenous communities — including in Russia’s predominantly Muslim regions — means that many residents of Chechnya, Dagestan, Bashkortostan or Tatarstan know someone currently serving or killed on the front lines in Ukraine.
But while these republics may have fewer immediate connections to the ongoing war in Gaza, the conflict in the Middle East feels no less personal.
Let’s take the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan, where the conflict between Israel and Palestine is seen as “not just an interstate conflict, but a conflict of faith,” according to indigenous rights and feminist activist Zarema Gasanova, The Moscow Times reports.
Gasanova is an Avar, one of Dagestan’s ethnic groups. She said she believes that most in her native republic “fully support” Palestine and “feel sorrow, solidarity and indignation over what is happening to the Palestinian people.”
So when Iran retaliated against an Israeli attack on its nuclear and defense facilities on June 14, some perceived it as a long-awaited punishment for Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip.
“Iran did not become an object of sympathy. It never really was,” Gasanova explained. Residents of Dagestan, an ethnically diverse Muslim-majority region on the shores of the Caspian Sea, have been vocal in their support for Palestine since the early days of the war in Gaza, which Israel launched in response to the Hamas massacre of Oct. 7, 2023.
In the nearly two years since the Israel-Hamas war began, Dagestanis sent more than 200 tons of humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip and welcomed several hundred Palestinian refugees, who were equally amazed by their hospitality and disappointed with the local government’s dysfunction, The Moscow Times says.
Nearly two years later, last month’s U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities has risked making the conflict in the relatively faraway Middle East even more personal for millions of Dagestanis.
Reported damage to Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment facility sparked concerns that possible radioactive contamination could reach the region sharing a border with Azerbaijan, prompting Russian officials to launch round-the-clock radiation monitoring in Dagestan.
In the comments under a viral Instagram Reel posted by the popular local news blog budushee.derbenta, hundreds of ordinary Dagestanis used the news of possible radioactive contamination to blow off steam and joke about an array of more pressing issues they face while living in one of Russia’s poorest and most underdeveloped regions, The Moscow Times says.
"Well, at least electricity outages won’t matter anymore, we will all be glowing," user 9tommy0 wrote, referring to the republic’s frequent electricity disruptions.
"We are not even prepared for ordinary winds and rainfall, what are you talking about?" said user fatakhova, hinting at the frequent floods that Dagestan’s major cities and villages experience after a rainfall.
