A SouthFront documentary (ie Russian version of events) that took place post cold-war. Its always interesting to see another point of view - since it brings out lies and propaganda from both sides.
As much as I dislike Russia for funding alt-rights in the West which ends up harming Muslims, they are in it for the politics and their end goal is to destabilize the West, just as the West destabilizes Muslim countries with a constant struggle between the conservatives and liberals.
Russia is to be respected however. It is one of the first nations who realized the grip of the IMF choking the country, and NGOs particularly those with US roots (US-AID, National Endowment of Democracy etc) who in reality destablize a countries political infrastructure, such that the country has no independent way to control its growth - it only grows economically if it submits to western ideals and foreign policy.
This is the reason why democracy doesnt work. Democracy without a solid underlying foundation (which acts as the shadow government) allows foreign powers to lobby and campaign for political entities that serve the host's business interests.
Democracy will work only in the following scenarios:
1) Where underlying "shadow entities" (military elite, NSA, intelligence organizations) have total control over the "democratic" process.
2) The country fully submits unwillingly to a host country (in a way it becomes a satellite nation of the host - ie Japan, South Korea, Germany ).
3) Strategic location of the country, where even in the presence of corrupt or inefficient shadow entities, there is stability and apparent "success" in democratic processes (eg India - at the forefront vs China and less so vs Russia).
Looking at Iran example, democracy works there. But only because their democracy is defined by the Islamic Shura councils vision which ultimately has national interests and does not serve to any other host (other than for political / strategic objectives).
This is what is missing from most of the Muslim world countries. Where they are just playgrounds for major powers. Its Colonialism v2.0. Pakistan is still relatively independent, thanks to the ISI boost from General Zia, but it is still heavily influenced by foreign powers too easily (US, China or Russia).
Its a tough political game no doubt. Pakistan needs to follow the steps of Russia to eliminate organizations which allow foreign intervention in internal affairs. The risk to that is obvious international condemnation and further sanctions and demonization of Pakistan.
Similarly other Muslim countries should do the same. But they have been fragmented in such a way that its easy to instill some 100 year old colonial developed sense of "national" pride and turn events into the favor of foreign powers.
This is why Saddams attempt to break the borders was met with such fierce resistance globally. It threatened the network designed by the colonial powers. The events in Syria will change things a bit, with the Shia crescent spreading all over, thanks to Russia - who have done so out of no reason - but geo-politics.
