The discussion about the French tragedy, Islam, and Islamism—which in Russia has turned into a discussion about what kind of country we are becoming, if the head of the executive branch of a federal subject (region) declares Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who called for the publication of the cartoons, which became the pretext for the terrorist attack, to be an “enemy of Islam” and his personal enemy (in truth, many people called for it and many published them, but of course Khodorkovsky is the most convenient person to label an enemy)—still needs to be conducted with our recent experience and the historical events that we are being made to forget, but must not forget, firmly in mind.
