On August 28, 2010, a Russian-language message was posted online by Russian mujahideen fighting in Waziristan. The author of the communication complained that although he had “left kafiristan…99.99% remain under the yoke of power of the unbelievers” and that “there are many who ‘talk the talk’ but the number who actually ‘walk the walk’ can be counted on one hand.” Urging financial support from those who cannot physically wage jihad, the author writes, “Perhaps it’s difficult for the majority to give 100 rubles in the way of Allah? You say: ‘How can 100 rubles help the Jihad?’ – first, those 100 rubles help those on Judgment Day who sent them. 100 multiplied by 700 and you get 70,000 rubles. Much will be received, Insha’Allah, and with sincerity of intention. If 1000 people gather 100 rubles, that’s 100,000 rubles, and this is not a small sum. One shell for a BM1 [rocket] (Katyusha) costs $90.00. With 100,000 rubles you can buy more than thirty shells and send them flying into a US-Murtad base in Afghanistan. Who can call this insignificant?”

The author of the communiqué praises the martyrdom of Gubdesnky as a success for the Emirate and vows that “there will be an Amir who’ll succeed the Amir Saifullah, and he will be stronger and braver, and there will be painful operations by which we’ll terrorize you in Moscow, Sochi and [all of] Russia as there are many surprises Allah-willing.”
