A Post-Putin Russia Might Be Bad News for Everyone, Including Ukraine, in the Short Term by Paul Goble

Staunton, March 15 — If Vladimir Putin is ousted or when he dies, the Russian government likely to emerge at least in the near term would not be the liberal, democratic and peaceful one in which so many are placing their hopes. And in the short term, such a regime almost certainly would behave even worse toward Ukraine than Putin has.

There are three reasons for such conclusions, all of which should be carefully attended to by those who in Russia, Ukraine and the West who despise what Putin has done and what he represents, will welcome his departure as a necessary step, but who have come to believe that his departure alone will mark a turn to the better in all respects.

That is likely to be so in the longer term, given the history of successions in the Kremlin, a history that suggests each new leader will ultimately choose to legitimate himself by denigrating or worse his predecessor. But that same history suggests that the successors are unlikely to make such changes as quickly as many would like.

First, the coalition that appears to be forming behind the scenes consists of the so-called siloviki, senior officials of the security services and the military. Many of them are more cautious than Putin has done because they know better than he the costs of invading and annexing part of a neighboring country.

But not all of the are: many of the siloviki believe that Putin has failed to act in ways that would have brought Moscow a victory in Ukraine, and they will push for more aggressive moves in order to prove their point as well as to justify an increased role for themselves in the constellation of a post-Putin regime.

And whether they are in the cautious or the aggressive camp, they are not liberals and they are not democrats. They are part and parcel of the authoritarian regime which was never completely dismantled in 1991 and which has been restored with extreme vigor by Putin over the last 15 years.

Hoping that they will suddenly see the light is a dangerous delusion.

Second, those who may be angling to push Putin out have an even more compelling reason for taking aggressive action in Ukraine and perhaps elsewhere as well. If they were to back down immediately, many in Russia would be unwilling to accept them as legitimate. Instead, most Russians would view them as people the West had somehow installed.

The West, of course, would have nothing to do with such a change should it occur. But Russians, fed with Putinist propaganda about the supposedly “all-powerful” Western security services and their ability to create “fifth columns” and overthrow governments via “color revolutions” as in Ukraine, would likely find it hard to believe that.

Consequently, even those who would like to get out of the Ukrainian morass would see a further move there, perhaps involving the seizure of Mariupol, as being necessary to their immediate survival in office and thus support it even if in the longer term they would be willing to yield on this point.

And third, any such post-Putin regime would not cease to be a Russian one. It would be interested in promoting its understanding of Russian national interests, and its members would undoubtedly conclude that given what looks to the to be the West’s feckless response to his challenges, they would benefit by continuing part of his strategy even if they rejected some of it.

Moreover, any such regime would almost certainly further tighten the screws on its own people lest they try to exploit the uncertainty that any leadership change in that country always produces. For the Russian people, the first weeks and months could be worse as well, even if in the longer term, things would likely get better.

Indeed, given that many in Western governments would be so pleased by any indication of a change of heart in Moscow – even a minimalist and superficial one – as has been the case up to now, those in a post-Putin government would at least at first likely continue to test the limits rather than pull back more than they might be willing to do later.

Consequently, as pleased as many would be with the departure of Putin from the political scene, all of them should keep in mind that despite what is likely to be a media circus on that event, his exit alone will not usher in a new heaven and a new Jerusalem. It is far too early to celebrate. It is absolutely necessary to remain vigilant.

Ex-ISIS Hostage Says ‘Jihadi John’ Played Lead Role in Mock Executions by Andrew Katz

Sunday March 15th, 2015 at 4:31 PM

TIME

1 Share

(LONDON) — A former hostage held in Syria by Islamic State extremists for more than six months has described mock executions and other forms of psychological torture against him and other captives.

Spanish journalist Javier Espinosa wrote in The Sunday Times that militant Mohammed Emwazi played a lead role in the mock executions. Emwazi, a Londoner nicknamed “Jihadi John,” is believed to have played a central role in a series of beheading videos.

Espinosa, who works for El Mundo and was on assignment for the Spanish daily when he was abducted in September 2013, characterized Emwazi as a bloodthirsty psychopath who enjoyed threatening him and other Western hostages.

He said Emwazi “caressed” his neck with a long blade and described how he would behead Espinosa: “‘Feel it? Cold, isn’t it? Can you imagine the pain you’ll feel when it cuts? Unimaginable pain,'” he quoted Emwazi as saying.

Emwazi went on to describe precisely how the beheading would occur, the former hostage said, and explained where he would place Espinosa’s head once it had been done.

Espinosa described how the militants took pleasure in telling their more than 20 hostages each day that they would be beheaded. He said Emwazi used an antique sword for the mock executions and followed up by placing a Glock pistol against his head and pulling the trigger three times.

Espinosa said he and the other hostages dubbed three English jihadis who were part of the Islamic Stage group “The Beatles” — even though the world-famous Liverpool band had four members. The nickname “Jihadi John” — which later caught on in the British press — is a reference to former Beatle John Lennon.

Espinosa was released in March 2014 after being held captive for 194 days. Most of the hostages were eventually released, but seven have died, including at least six who were killed, and one is known to still be a captive.

Marc Marginedas, a second Spanish journalist who was freed at the same as Espinosa, gave his account in the Periodico de Catalunya newspaper in Spain Sunday. He said he had explained to his captors that he wasn’t a spy and had entered Syria twice before to report and had been treated well.

“‘You entered Syria twice and it worked out well for you, but now we’ll kill you,'” was the reply from his captor.

“‘And do not try to become friendly. I don’t love you. The ones I love are my brothers who have come here to fight,'” the unidentified captor said, according to Marginedas’ account.
