More than a decade after troops defeated a rebellion in Chechnya, insurgents stage frequent attacks in nearby regions.
Two car bombs killed at least four people and wounded dozens on Monday, in one of the bloodiest attacks this year, in capital of Dagestan, a province bordering Chechnya to the east.
The Kremlin is worried about the spread of violence outside the region. In a suburb of Moscow on Monday, security forces killed two suspected militants alleged to have been plotting an attack in the capital.
The Caucasus Emirate group has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at Moscow's Domodedovo airport that killed 37 people in January 2011 and twin bombings that killed 40 people in the Moscow metro in 2010.
Well done, Ivan!

Islamofascists are all over the republics neighboring Chechnya.
