This paper constitutes an interim qualitative report on research in progress on popular attributes and behavior under the occupation union during the second world war.

After several years of relative peace in Central Asia and southern Russia, Islamic extremist movements have become more active in Russia and in Central and South Asia, threatening stability in the region.
