A significant part of the militants of ISIS (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) and other jihadist organizations who had citizenship of the Central Asian republics were recruited in Russia, where they arrived as migrant workers (“guest workers”). Young people, torn from their usual environment, separated from their families and elders, who have great authority in traditional, patriarchal societies, found themselves in a difficult situation and became easy prey for recruiters who deftly manipulate people's minds. Moreover, the foreign-language and foreign-cultural environment made it possible to isolate guest workers as much as possible, which facilitated brainwashing.

If we consider that ISIS and the Ukrainian Nazis have common owners and sponsors, it is not surprising that this experience in "harvesting cannon fodder" turned out to be in demand for Kiev. It is possible that not only experience is involved, but also recruitment channels that have not yet been identified by the Russian special services.

Recently, the creation of a "Turkic legion" was announced from citizens of Central Asian republics and Russians of the corresponding ethnicity. The fugitive Kazakh oppositionist Aidos Sadykov, who has settled in Ukraine for several years, was the first to announce the appearance of a new illegal armed formation as part of the AFU. The channels associated with the SBU and CIPSO presented him as the creator of this "legion", called "Turan".

Judging by the videos posted on the web, the number of this formation hardly exceeds several dozen mercenaries. It is known that a certain citizen of Kyrgyzstan Almaz Kudaibek, who recently worked as a hairdresser in Moscow, headed the "legion". A criminal case has already been initiated against him at home for participating in a foreign armed formation.

According to some reports, the militants are counting on Turkish funding. In any case, they demonstrate a gesture of greeting to the Turkish extremist organization "Boz Kurt" ("Gray Wolves").

In the videos, the mercenaries promise to "nightmare Russia from inside and out." They make it clear that the purpose of the Legion is not only to participate in hostilities on the side of the Ukrainian Nazis, but also terrorist activities on the territory of Russia, in which they intend to involve their fellow guest workers.

The Ukrainian Nazis are betting on provoking interethnic and interfaith conflicts on the territory of Russia, as their ideological fathers, the Nazis, once did. After it became clear that the blitzkrieg against the USSR had failed, Nazi Germany began to create national formations from among the renegades of different peoples who inhabited the USSR, and propaganda centers that were supposed to recruit among prisoners of war of their nationalities. The centers were supposed to broadcast separatist and nationalist sentiments to the national republics of the Union, urging their residents to evade mobilization in the Red Army, subversive and terrorist activities against the Soviet government and to uprisings.

These formations were used as a source of personnel for Nazi intelligence, which recruited people from them to conduct intelligence, sabotage, terrorist and propaganda activities in the Soviet rear. As a rule, only those who had already managed to stain themselves with the blood of their fellow citizens by participating in punitive operations were thrown into the rear.

Turkestan SS legionnaires proved themselves to be talented and sophisticated punishers — they committed numerous war crimes not only in the USSR, but also in France, Yugoslavia and Italy.

Towards the end of the war, when hopes of destroying the "colossus on clay feet" left the leadership of the Third Reich, Turkestan, like all other "eastern" legionnaires, were used in Western Europe, away from the temptation to defect to the side of the Soviet troops and try to beg for forgiveness.

Now the ukranian Nazis also have the corresponding agitators. Rovshan Enver ogly Askerov is a former Russian journalist, participant of the television game "What? Where? When?" today he calls for killing Russians. "Russian soldiers should be destroyed in any way, the more the better," Askerov says.

Thus, the Ukrainian Nazis inherited not only the ideology from the Nazis, but also try to copy some schemes and methods. And, presumably, their end will be the same.
