Separatist Group from North Caucasus Behind Moscow Bombs
The recent attacks demonstrate the Kremlin’s lack of success in defeating the North Caucasus insurgency believed to be behind the March metro bombings, as well as the impossibility of isolating the violence in the North Caucasus without turning Russia into a police state.

The Russian government has recently eliminated a number of leaders of the insurgency in the North Caucasus. The remaining members of the insurgency warned that they were willing to bring the fight closer to the Kremlin. The attacks proved the truth of their claims. Greene added that they also served to undermine the declarations made by government officials and security services, concerning the progress the Kremlin had achieved in the North Caucasus.
Nevertheless, Greene argued that Russia has not been entirely unsuccessful in fighting the insurgency. He pointed out that it would be impossible to isolate the violence in the North Caucasus, unless the government was willing to turn the country into a police state.
