Propaganda of the Red Terror in the USSR by [1]

Terror (террор) is any politics, tactics and style of some individuals, groups, parties (sometimes including the ruling party), accompanied with the killing, capturing, kidnapping of opponents, political enemies or just innocent citizen.

Often, it is assumed that the victims of terror are civilians [2]. There are many various definitions of the term "terror"; Wikipedia offers the collection of such definitions [3].

Similar terms

Justification of terror with any religion, philosophy or ideology is called terrorism. Terror is often justified as an appropriate instrument in various kinds of fascism. The same activity without attempts of the justification can be qualified qualified as banditry or gangsterism.

The event of application of terror is called terroristic act.

Persons who perform the terroristic acts are called terrorists.

Often, the developers or propagandists of the philosophy of terrorism are also called terrorists (or extremists).

"Vasily Pupkin" from the detective "Pupkin revolutioner" (In Russian: Пупкин революционер) [4] can be qualified as terrorist, because the innocent civilians may happen among the passengers of the nomenclature mafia cars, that are supposed to be destroyed together with drivers and passengers.

Goals of terror

In the human history, various pretty different ideas and reasons are used to justify Terror; however, the realizations (and the results) are often pretty similar.

Often terror is declared as way to revolution and liberation of the people [5].

Terror may have aim also to show the people, that everything may be "much worse". Vladimir Burmatov, justifying the election fraud and repressions of journalists, asks a rhetoric question: what for do you need the publicity and honest election – do you want bolsheviks to get power again?

Need of terror may appears also as a method agains another terror.

There are video records of terror avaialble:

Victims

The terror can be aimed to some specific person, who, from the point of view of terrorists, have committed horrible crimes; in this case, it is assumed that the official legal institutes are corrupted, and for this reason cannot stop the criminal activity of the victim. In this case, the activity of terrorist(s) is qualified as individual terror.

Attempts of Alexander Ulianov to kill the Russian tsar, then the attempt of Fanya Kaplan to kill Vladimir Lenin [6], the murdering of Leon Trotsky [7] can be qualified as acts of individual terror. These examples show, that the terrorists, in their turn, are not protected against terror and may be killed in the same way as they used to kill their opponents. The secrecy around the soviet archives indicates that Lenin was killed by Stalin and Stalin, in his turn, was also killed (Perhapd, by Lavrentiy Beria). Such hypotheses are considered in the article National hero.

When the terrorists have the superior power, they may use the juridical institutes (which are supposed to protect the citizen) for the terror. For example, the killing of Vsevolod Meyerhold and his family [8] or his followers [9] can be qualified as terror, although the soviet veterans tend defend the Soviet terrorists, qualifying their crimes as "errors". for such cases, the term red terror [10][11] is also used.

Sometimes the terror is aimed against a wide group of population specified with their ethnic, ideological, territorial, religious or any other criteria. Such cases are qualified as mass terror. For example, the notices of the meetings, dedicated to the Nevsky Express bombing (2009) were submitted few days before the bombing; this can be considered as evidence that that crash was not an accident, but terroristic act planned by the ruling party.

Some terrorists explicitly declare their intents and declare terror as some appropriate instrument in their politics [12][13]. Soon after the Lenin's order to apply the mass terror in 1918 August 9 [12], V.Lenin by himself happened to be victim of terror in 1918 August 30 (although had survived that time). In such a way, the terror is reciprocal; the politician who had declared that he will kill the terrorists in the toilet (In dirty Russian slang:"мочить в сортире"), by himself can be qualified as terrorist and treated namely in this way.

In many cases, the euphemisms are used; instead of to say "commit the political murder", the terrorists say "eliminate", "neutralize" (Russian equivalents: "обезвредить", "убрать", "замочить в сортире"). Often, the victims are qualified as "terrorists", and attempts to ask for the proof of their terroristic activity get the "reply" in form of new political murders. In such a way, many journalists are killed in the post–soviet Russia. Having no possibility to organize the show trails as during the USSR, the KGBsts eliminate their political opponents with terror [14]. For the justification of the mass murders, the code sentence "You cannot make revolution in white gloves" is used (In Russian, "революцию не делажт в белых перчатках") since the beginning of century 20.

The terror, and especially the Russian terror, have the long history and in certain sense became the Russian tradition. For the beginning of century 21, Russia can be considered as the most terroristic country; the total corruption gives no hopes to stop the terror. The terroristic acts are not investigated well by the professionals: important questions about the murders of Anna Politkovskaya, Nastasia Baburova, Stanislav Markelov, Natalia Estemirova and many other cases are not revealed. The key questions about the catastrophe Katyn–2 (2010) and about the Nevsky Express bombing (2009) seem to be intentionally hidden by the authorities who were supposed to investigate the cases.

Most terroristic countries

One may expect, that the terrorism diffuses from the countries that have no legal institutes for the efficient investigation of the cases. The examples of such an interpretation are presented in the texts Mikhail Golovatov, Nine angry women in the pool, План_Путина-Даллеса (In Russian), Russia used the nuclear weapon in 2011. (Kouznetsov). The KGB's terrorists dare to attack even the American Embassies [15].

Also, some small countries (Afghanista, Iran, Iraq, Lybia, North Coreq, Sudan, Syria, Cuba) are considered as "terroristic" in the Thinkquest review [16]. The terroristic acts happen in other countries too, even in such a relatively safe country as Norway [17][18].

"Я отдал не один десяток лет этой работе и уверен: ни один человек такую ерунду не мог подписать, поскольку это противоречит закону", - заявил Ковалев.
