Northern explosion - Violence escalates in the North Caucasus

An escalation in violence in the North Caucasus suggests the conflict has completed its shift from a struggle for Chechen independence into a less Chechen-specific, multi-ethnic jihadist insurgency that has united the region's various local militant groups behind the goal of establishing an Islamic state.

北高加索的暴力升级显示该地区的冲突已由争取车臣独立转变为弱化车臣概念，进行多民族圣战。为了达到建立一个伊斯兰国家的目标这一地区形形色色的地方武装势力纠集在一起。

The recent suicide attacks testify to the growing radicalisation and vigour of the Chechen insurgency after several years of severely reduced operational activity. The decline in violence was widely accredited to the brutal counter-insurgency tactics adopted by Chechnya's President Ramzan Kadyrov.

目前的自杀袭击事件证实激进势力以及车臣叛乱武装实力在增长。而过去的几年他们的活动锐减。人们普遍认为这应归功于车臣总统Ramzan Kadyrov残酷的平叛手段。

Over the past two years, jihadist groups have become much more closely aligned with the Chechen rebel movement, which has itself become more radical as secular elements have either been killed or co-opted by the authorities.

在过去的两年里，圣战组织与车臣分裂势力越发亲密，这使它变得更加极端。因为组织内世俗力量要么被消灭了要么投靠了官方。

The radicalisation has also been provoked by repressive measures taken by the republican governments. Indiscriminate and heavy-handed tactics used by the security forces against suspected militants and devout Muslims encouraged many young victims to join radical groups.

政府采取的镇压措施也引发了极端势力的抬头。安全部队对疑似的激进分子不加区分的给与残酷的镇压。同时虔诚的伊斯兰信徒鼓励众多年轻的受害者加入极端组织。

If the jihadists can successfully take their war to the Russian heartland, they will make it virtually impossible to break the cycle of repression, radicalisation and violence that currently blights the North Caucasus.

如果圣战分子将战火引入俄罗斯腹地，他们将不可能打破镇压—激进化---暴力这个正在摧残北高加索地区的恶性循环。
