Hanna Notte speaks to Carnegie Moscow Centre on who is leaving Russia to join the Caliphate

Hanna Notte has given a talk (28 January) to the Carnegie Moscow Centre entitled 'Path to the Caliphate: Who is heading there from Russia and the other CIS countries and why?'

This was part of a seminar that asked:

• What is the degree of influence of "Islamic State" (the organization is banned in Russia) on the Muslims of Russia and other CIS countries?     
• How exactly does the recruitment take place, and what is a typical portrait of the "emigrant terrorist"?
• What measures have been carried out to counter the spread of a destructive radical Islamist ideology, and which are planned for the future?
