Article Abstract:
The military situation in Chechnya and the terrorist attacks in Russia are seen as a diversion from the politics and scandals rife in present-day Russia. Xenophobia, fear, and suspension are the prevailing attitudes in Russian politics and the Russian establishment needs to divert attention away from problems. Most of the Russian population passively submits to the political situation as it now exists.
