↪️ On June 27, 2025, security forces detained several dozen Russian citizens of Azerbaijani origin in Yekaterinburg in connection with the murders.
I would like to emphasize that these are Russian citizens.
Who have been living in Yekaterinburg for a long time.
Two people died during the arrest.
Any death is, of course, a tragedy.
Nevertheless, the event is ordinary, the security forces always detain someone.
And this is happening all over the world.:someone's heart couldn't stand it, someone was pinned to the ground.
*Let's say that in the United States, in 1 year, up to 1,000 people die at the hands of police during detention.
So, as it was said, this is always and everywhere found. And it mostly goes unnoticed.
But not in this case.
↪️ After the arrest of these suspects in the murders, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry expressed a "strong protest" to Russia and stated that "two Azerbaijanis were brutally murdered" during the raids.
↪️ This was followed by rather inadequate actions by Baku.:
▪️ cancellation of concerts of Russian artists,
▪️ Joint events,
▪️ Demonstrative detentions of Russian citizens,
▪️ Who were significantly beaten at the same time.
Interestingly, there are relocants among them (A relocant is a person who has moved to another country or region, usually for a long time, but without necessarily intending to stay there forever).
The Azerbaijani authorities claim that these boys from Russia are actually criminals and drug traffickers.
▪️ Russian journalists are being detained in parallel.
▪️ There is a media attack on Russia.
▪️ Central television Azerbaijan openly opposes Putin.
▪️ Many prominent figures of the republic do the same.
Excerpt from the TV show in Azerbaijan:
What's wrong, Putin, are you so worried that Azerbaijan has become a strong state for the first time in 200 years? Did he return the land, restore sovereignty, protect interests, pursue a principled policy, and is Aliyev recognized as a leader on the world stage?
And now look at what this situation looks like.
In fact, this is a spit in the face of Russia from Azerbaijan.
After all, the Russian security forces did not want to prove anything to anyone by their actions. It's just that as a result of the investigation, it turned out that these people — citizens of Russia, for a second — were involved in the murders on the territory of Russia. It's the fault of our own relatives, the Azerbaijanis.
And nationality is not important here. For the capture group, if you are a criminal, then whether you are a Tatar, a Russian, a Belarusian or an American, the security forces detain everyone equally severely.
They had a reason to do it, and they did their job. If any violations or murders were committed at the same time, those who are particularly worried, in our case, the Azerbaijani side, should diplomatically point this out and sort it out. There are various methods and proven schemes for this.
This has happened in world history.
But there were some demonstrative actions with the detention of Russians, all this was filmed from various angles, and Slavic faces were shown in close-up.

Moreover, I repeat, Russia detained its citizens, Russian citizens, and Azerbaijan did not detain its own, as well as Russian ones.
In fact, they are captured.
For what?
Undoubtedly, to ignite a conflict with Russia.
What is the conflict for?
The answer to this question is very interesting.
I will now give a recent example that will open your eyes to many things and perfectly show what the leadership and elite of Azerbaijan are like, who are so "worried" about their relatives who were detained in Russia.
Here you need to know that the Azerbaijani people are mainly divided into 2 countries. Some of them live in the north, in Azerbaijan itself,
▪️ The other part in the south is in Iran.
https://avatars.dzeninfra.ru/get-zen_doc/271828/pub_6878a2cc8effd56439165b77_6878f2310bafd310b657b48c/scale_1200
And that's when Israel bombed Iran, it sent a rocket to south Azerbaijan and killed 18 people there.
And what do you think, did they start persecuting Jews in Baku or expressing dissatisfaction with Israel's actions?
No. In this case, everything was quiet.
The same is the case with Ukraine.
Recently, two Azerbaijanis were killed during detention there. Moreover, the citizens of Azerbaijan. But even here, in this regard, there is silence in Azerbaijan, no one is protesting. Ukrainians are not detained or beaten.
But when Russia detained its own citizens on its territory who are suspected of murder, it was furiously attacked.
But what can this lead to? After all, part of the elite of Azerbaijan purposefully began to snap with a powerful neighbor, in fact, for a far-fetched reason.
The detention, although with tragic consequences in Yekaterinburg, is only an excuse, not a reason.
What happens? Let's say you, the elite of Azerbaijan, are sitting here and deciding something like this: let's spit in the face of Russia, our neighbor, the third economic partner, thanks to whom we and our fellow citizens earn well, and which is a powerful nuclear power, and demand explanations for what they are doing there. they bring order to their territory, arrest criminals - their own citizens - who have committed a crime on their own territory.
Let's beat up their boys in return.
This is how it looks like what happened.
For the Azerbaijanis, for the people of this country, such gestures are not wrong, they are disastrous in the long run.
After all, sooner or later Russia will solve the main issues that it is currently facing, and a huge potential will be released to solve other problems.
And he will ask: well, let's say what you wanted to say?
This is by no means a threat. This is the logic of things.
A strong country will not tolerate such an attitude.
It's a blow to reputation when such a small country of 10 million people, which is even smaller than Moscow, spits in the face of the largest state in the world.
Besides, if you look at our cooperation and the result of living together, we generally had a good relationship.
There are a lot of big businessmen in Russia who come from Azerbaijan. There are oligarchs among them who feel great here.
As an example, the same Crocus in which the terrorist attack took place belonged to Araz Agalarov, who ranks 55th in the Forbes ranking of the "Richest Businessmen in Russia."
Moreover, officially there are only 2 billionaires in Azerbaijan itself. That is, there are more Azerbaijani billionaires in Russia.
There are about 1 million representatives of this ethnic group living in Russia, who feel great here. No one purposefully humiliates or infringes on them, just like other nations, unless you, of course, violate the laws.
Conversely. Here you go, if you want to become a billionaire, you have our natural resources.
In addition to the fact that Russia is Azerbaijan's 3rd economic partner, tens of thousands of Russians travel to this country every year. That is 28% of the total number of all tourists. By bringing money there and developing the country's infrastructure.
That is, if you look at it from the outside, then part of the elite of Azerbaijan, going to confrontation with Russia, engaged in suicide.
The main question is: why?
There are several answers here.
♦️ The first one is superficial.
It sounds like this: Azerbaijan is demonstratively outraged by the actions of the Russian security forces, because it is trying to show its influence, create a name for itself, that's how I talk to Moscow.
Taking advantage of the fact that Moscow is far from up to all these showdowns right now. Hence the very restrained response of the Russian Foreign Ministry. But Moscow could have responded more seriously.
▪️ Bravery Baku is also encouraged by the fact that it recently regained Karabakh. Now it's a nation of winners.
▪️ And most importantly, he is supported by Turkey and part of the West.
For example, Italy, which is one of the top three economic partners of Azerbaijan.
▪️ Azerbaijan is rich in oil, which the West is happy to consume.
But again, this oil goes through Russia, and Russia can influence this.
Turkey and Azerbaijan, as they say, have strong family ties. They even have a certain motto in the field of interstate relations: "One people, two states."
They say that one people lives in the territories of two countries.
But, first of all, it would be more correct to say that one nation lives on the territory of Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran.
It is here that most of the representatives of this ethnic group, which, by the way, does not belong to the Turks.
According to genetic research, Azerbaijanis are a Caucasian people who were simply ostracized several centuries ago.
Conventionally, the Turks ran past these places and enslaved the Azerbaijanis, depriving them of their own culture and language, and now they think they are brothers. This is not my opinion, but the opinion of researchers and scientists.
And the real Azerbaijanis who have preserved their culture live in Dagestan in Russia.
The populations of Turkey and Azerbaijan also adhere to different branches of Islam.:
▪️ Sunni Turks,
▪️ The Azerbaijanis are Shiites.
They don't really have much in common.
But the West gave Azerbaijan to Turkey under its influence after the liquidation of the USSR, and they set their own rules there.
Plus, almost all post-Soviet countries built their statehood on an anti-Soviet, or anti-Russian, ideology.
In their opinion, Russians are invaders, and they are proud peoples who have escaped from oppression.
That's what Baku's official media says.
This whole story is based on lies, because there was no occupation.
There was unification and development.
The USSR built and developed all the republics.
And thus, with the help of the anti-Russian agenda through Azerbaijan, Turkey and NATO can put pressure on Russia, knocking out more opportunities for themselves, solving geopolitical problems.

Roughly speaking, you can hint to Putin: Aliev is unhappy with something right next to you, I can talk to him, and you pay for me and make a discount on gas.
♦️ Events also indicate that Azerbaijan has entered into conflict with Russia because our armed forces bombed oil refineries in Ukraine.
Technically, they are Ukrainian, but they worked on Azerbaijani oil.
This is exactly what may have brought pain to the elite of this country, and they were able to shed all their anger only after the detention event, that is, after they found an excuse.
▪️ Yes, Azerbaijan has quite good relations with Ukraine.
▪️ Let's say he delivers humanitarian aid to her.
▪️ Also, Zelensky immediately called Aliyev after the incident with the arrest and snuck in.
♦️ An even more interesting version of what happened concerns diasporas in Russia in general.
To understand this version, I will cite the statements of American Senator Taylor Green about Jews, who, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, asked how the Jewish diasporas in the United States are actively engaged in politics in the interests of Israel, promote laws, promote the right people to power? As a result, the United States actively supports Israel and infuses billions of dollars into it annually.
That is, the main idea of the above: Diasporas are people who in any state often act in the interests of another country, in fact they are foreign agents.
Which, by the way, confirms the news about the deprivation of Russian citizenship of the head of the Azerbaijani diaspora in the Moscow region. He was expelled from the country with a statement that the actions of this man "pose a threat to the national security of the Russian Federation."
Now you can assemble a small puzzle.:
❌ The ideology of Azerbaijan is anti-Soviet (anti-Russian),
❌ He is friends with Western countries,
❌ has a network of diasporas in Russia,
❌ which can be used by the intelligence services of the United Kingdom, the United States and Turkey, i.e. NATO countries.
Perhaps Russia's enemies were betting on this.
And after the detention of representatives of the diaspora, such a frenzied reaction followed, so that, God forbid, the Russian special services would not get to the bottom of something more serious about what these representatives of the diaspora might be doing.
*And, by the way, it is believed that the strongest Azerbaijani diaspora in Russia is the Sverdlovsk region, where the arrests took place.
What do both Russians and Azerbaijanis need to know in this situation?:
Anyway, it is dangerous for our countries to quarrel, it can lead to tragedy.
A good example is the situation in another neighboring country.
⛔️ Therefore, you cannot **** on your neighbor, use your people against him, make loud statements and issue ultimatums.
✅ We need to look for and focus on what brings us closer and unites us, to look for common goals so that friendship and relationships can strengthen.
✅ Any issues should be resolved based on the idea of collective security in the region of the former USSR.
And the axiom is always relevant.: If it weren't for Russia, no one in the West would stand on ceremony with countries like Azerbaijan. If they had come, they would have taken everything away and turned it into classic slaves.
Therefore, once again, we need to unite, we have a lot in common.
I would like to emphasize that these are Russian citizens.
Who have been living in Yekaterinburg for a long time.
Two people died during the arrest.
Any death is, of course, a tragedy.
Nevertheless, the event is ordinary, the security forces always detain someone.
