Alexander Krylov: "ISIS is fighting for minds"

Senior researcher at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, President of the Scientific Society for Caucasian Studies, Alexander Krylov, speaking about the threat of ISIS, noted that it is necessary to do our best to prevent this ideology from taking root in minds of young people around the world. On September 30th Russia began a military air operation against Islamic State in Syria. The accession of the Russian Federation in the fight against ISIS is a preventive measure taken to prevent the terrorists entering Russian territory, as well as territories of its partners: the CIS, EAEC and CSTO.
