Commentary by Dr. Kaveh Farrokh on Dr. Kamal Said Qader's article: " the Kurds and the KGB: The secret history of the Barzani dynasty"
Mohammad
The
movement was wholly dependent on the Soviet Union, and
collapsed almost immediately after the Soviet withdrawal from Iran
in 1946. Pan-Kurd activists such as the youthful Pezhak are attempting
to eliminate the history of the fact that Qazi Mohammad’s movement
was supported by the Russian occuppiers of Iran at the
time. Martyrs
Zhukov-A Zhukov-B The blatant and open role of the KGB in the fomention of seperatism in Iran is exemplefied by a comparison of the military uniforms of the Pishevari Azeri seperatist movement in the same time period as Qazi Mohammad. The Soviet Union was also sponsoring a puppet Azeri breakaway state at the time and was supporting pan-Turkist ideology in an endeavor to dismember Iran as a state. Note again the exact similarity of the uniforms of the seperatist “Azerbaijan Feda-iyan” led by Gholam Yahya Daneshiyan (see photo at left – Daneshiyan stands at right in that photo) to the Russian uniforms of the period (photo at right).

Despite the photo’s poor quality, Gholam Yahya’s uniform is clearly that of a Junior Lieutenant of the Russian red Army; the two men standing next to Yahya wear the uniforms and caps of Soviet NKVD officers (Red Army political/intelligence officers). Below is a photo of Mustafa Barzani (who had supported the Soviet-puppet state of Mahabad in parts of Iranian Kurdistan during Stalin’s occupation of northwestern Iran), also dressed in Soviet military attire: Barzani
The followers of seperatists ignore this information and have chosen to follow false narratives. These people now have new masters - these are a geopolitical lobbies interested in coveting Iran's oil and the surrounding transit routes for oil in the Caucasus. People such as Dr. Brenda Shaffer of Harvard University have resurrected the false narratives of Soviet political commissars and passionatley advocates an Azeri-Persian race war (again) in the name of "human rights": Shaffer
Shaffer regularly attends anti-Iran seperatist gatherings
and her political activism for Iran's dismemberment
seriously undermines her credibility and objectivity as an academic.
