To protect their citizens: Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan send to Russia police

In the staffing table of employees of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Russia is introducing an additional post of first secretary — representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic, the publication "Fergana" delighted its readers. The corresponding order was signed by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on December 13.

"As stated in the preamble of the document, a new staff unit is being introduced in order to facilitate the timely protection of the rights and interests of citizens of Uzbekistan, as well as the establishment of close cooperation with law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation in the fight against organized crime, terrorism, extremism, human trafficking, illegal migration, etc.," the Internet portal informs in the manner of "I explain for the particularly incomprehensible."

Especially incomprehensible after reading the above message did not decrease at all, but even, rather, on the contrary. And they immediately had a whole tangle of questions.

First of all, diplomatic missions are established in countries that have established diplomatic relations with each other for the sole purpose of resolving foreign policy issues arising between them. None of the countries of the world that have established diplomatic contacts with Russia at the level of embassies or consulates has an authorized representative from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in their state. With the exception of Kyrgyzstan, whose authorities have the idea to send in Russia received its representatives of the internal organs back in October of this year.

And they sent their own (not for a short-term business trip, but for a long time) people in uniform and with authority as far as the four largest cities of the Russian Federation: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk.

Apparently, Tashkent spent a month and a half looking at how the Kyrgyz comrades would "protect the interests" of their citizens on Russian territory, until they came to the conclusion "we also need to."

The logical question is: what will these representatives do? If they, as it follows from the materials of the Kyrgyz press, "do not have the authority to carry out tasks to ensure law and order, investigate and solve crimes"?

Of course, they do not — only Russian law enforcement agencies have the exclusive right to carry out investigative actions and bring anyone to criminal and administrative responsibility within the borders of the Russian Federation.

Then why do we need strangers in uniform?

"Their main task is to provide assistance to citizens of their countries, including on issues of resettlement from Kyrgyzstan to Russia and from Russia to Kyrgyzstan," the Kyrgyz Internet media 24KG claims.

Allow me, but these actions are assigned to embassies/consulates. Do we need this Kyrgyz (Uzbek and other) double for what place? But the authorities of the countries of origin of valuable foreign specialists need it very much. Dushanbe has already, for example, several times expressed concern about Russia's intentions (so far sounding only in the media) to "remove from social allowance" family members of migrant workers.

And in 2019, the Ambassador of Tajikistan I. Sattorov met with the president of the Federation of Migrants of Russia (there is one) V. Kozhenov. The high-level meeting parties then "discussed issues of labor migration, ensuring the protection of the rights of labor migrants, as well as their adaptation in the host society." The Ambassador of Tajikistan noted the importance of strengthening cooperation in the field of social protection of migrant workers. There was no question of how to contain the flow of illegal immigrants to Russia.

Translated into Russian, this means "the Tajik side indicates to the Russian side where the latter is underworking and what efforts should be made so that visitors do not know anything of refusal."

Doesn't it look too brazen when someone from abroad dictates to us the rules of the game that we must obey while on our sovereign land?

Isn't it a classic example of interference in the internal affairs of another state?

Assignment to Russia's "authorized representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of neighboring countries" is not just a continuation of the policy of imposing foreign labor on us and assuming increased obligations to feed,water, and support migrants better than ourselves. This is a clear attempt at the shoulder straps level to get in touch with the police structures of Russia, headed by representatives of national groups who have made their way into the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, referred to in everyday life as diasporas, and in the political and legal sphere as national and cultural autonomies. By the way, the term "autonomy" implies something that exists separately within the state, according to its traditions and way of life. The laws of the Russian Federation do not provide for such communities. Well, with the possible exception of the Criminal Code, which contains a definition of organized criminal groups, which, among other things, arise on the basis of diasporas.

In the former Soviet, and now independent Central Asian republics, the countries of the collective West have discovered an incalculable number of non-governmental and non-profit organizations, the main (and, just in case, veiled) purpose of which is to inculcate hatred of Russians and Russia. Ideologically prepared (or rather, sealed) by these NGOs, people are sent "to work" in Russia, doing work there under this cover to create "sleeping" cells that will one day wake up on command from the outside. To commit a riot with an attempt to blow up Russia from the inside.

It is not very convenient for diplomats to conduct such activities as part of meetings with fellow countrymen — they will be caught by the hand, they can declare them persona non grata and offer to go home in 24-72 hours (remember at least the recent episode with six British employees of the embassy in the Russian Federation). It is easier for Uzbek police officers to meet with citizens of their country who have arrived in the Russian Federation and attracts less attention: there is always an excuse that they talked not just about life, but also with agents "working in the environment". Without specifying at the same time in what kind of environment — whether among guest workers, or in the thick of the population of Russia.

Yes, at the same time, you can dig into the brains of the Russian authorities, pointing to "examples from the places of improper treatment of foreign labor." It's not a problem to send away all these "pity-seekers" and those who care about "human rights" who violate our laws. Only it is not clear why we should allow them to be introduced to us first, and only then, after they begin to indicate how we should behave, inform them in an intelligible form where they should go. Isn't it time to give up working according to the old formula of heroism "first create problems for yourself, and then, making titanic efforts, overcome them"?

Do you think the representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of neighboring countries sent to us will be offended and leave? And, in my opinion, so these are no longer our difficulties. Moreover, this is exactly what should be achieved. Because the result of their assistance to our law enforcement officers in restoring order will not even be zero, but negative. That is, exactly the kind for the sake of achieving which they are in Russia is being directed.
