"get yourself busy; study or work; you'll become useful to yourself. when you become useful to yourself, you'll become useful to your family." Goodness gracious is this true.

[@fmlutube]

At the end of the day, 6 lives perished: the 4 victims and the lost souls of 2 young men. These touching and lucid words from the boy's uncle come to remind us that suffering is unconditional and universal. Their grief, although confronted with confusing senses of injustice for the rest of us, is as deep, strong and heartrending as anyone else's. Seeing a beloved person becomes so spiritually rotten and harmful must be as hurtful as seeing him/her suffer or die. We should comfort one another...

Seriously an uncle have no control over a grown up, he is not the father. He can't discipline nor give order to another man child in order to make thing right even fully aware of something is wrong. Somehow only the authority is equipped sufficiently to handle terrorists effectively and stop terrorism , not a closed family member who happen to be the only decent human being left in this evil family.

[@AL-grhvc]

those boys seem very much left alone without a direction in america with their parents being back in chechnya ..and the way their parents are,especially mother, had an influence on them inclining towards more radical views..so they got caught up in those spheres in cambridge which is unfortunate..and no matter how sad he is now, their uncle doesn't seem to have cared much about them either, he didn't even want to see Jahar...seems like these boys,especially the younger one Jahar, were left without a family and/or reasonable guidance in america and eventually lost direction.. very unfortunate for everyone involved in this incident..

[@sherzod4817]

I appreciate his speaking out. He did clear up a lot of things. First of all, he's absolutely right, Islam and Chechnya had nothing to do with this. Tamerlan Tsarnaev wasn't some jihadist diehard muslim. He only acted like one because it gave him an excuse to fail at life. This was a man who knew he was failing at life, and wanted the world to pay for his shortcomings and for everyone to know his name. He brought along his younger brother who was a stoner deeply in debt, failing out of college, and without any direction. Terrorizing a whole city gave them the power they knew they'd never have in life. They didn't care if they were throwing away their lives. Their lives were meaningless anyways. These two had nothing at all to do with Chechnya. They never lived there, barely ever went there. They grew up in Kyrgyzstan. They never settled anywhere they lived. They were just as unable to fit in within Chechnya as in America.

[@Quinty5555]

This interview is deeply moving and extremely important on a number of levels. In terms of the investigation, Tsarni seems certain that such an operation could have been planned entirely locally. On a more personal level, you can see the frustration and regret he has for his alienation from his nephews. Anyone who has tried to talk sense into a 20-something can relate to this. The "demons" he's speaking about are not limited to Islam; there are versions of them in all religions and ideologies.

[@chesalasanderson7989]

Very well said... extremism comes from all religions and someone who is young, lost and struggling to find their purpose are ripe for the picking. They are easily manipulated into believing the purpose of the person who is molding them is their own purpose. To me both these young me were used by this "extremist" to act out his ideologies that he was too chicken poop to do himself! Most suicide bombers or just bombers in general have been manipulated into having purpose by people who want to reap the aftermath and benefits they feel will eventually come if they cause enough destruction. They will somehow become these great leaders with wealth and power off the blood and sacrifice of the weak minded and innocent lives they take. Just my opinion though.

I do think he misunderstood the question about whether he thinks his nephews are guilty, I think he thought he was asking about innocent vs. guilty. I do absolutely believe that the older brother influenced the younger one who looked up to him. The responsibility of being born first, you’re supposed to be Responsible and guide your younger siblings to do the right thing and he steered him in the worst direction😞😢 Now, as for hearing the children and whomever else in the house, it totally reminded me of that viral BBC video of the man giving the interview via Skype and the children burst in 🥴🤣🤣🤣 I can never think of a video where I laughed harder!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Listen to the uncle when interviewd by many journalist.At that time he sounded fluent in English as in charge.

[@soapywater]

Wise words, Uncle Ruslan.

[@India19855]

Ruslan Tsarni should just spit it out. The mother is a major culprit. You can easily see that Tamerlan got his facial expressions (genetic) and religious zeal (psychological) from the mother. Ruslan has contempt for the mother and does not feel that she is a genuine Muslim. I bet that Ruslan also feels that her poor parenting contributed to a confused, supremacist, jihadist son. From watching videos of her, she is so emotional and uneducated to me. Her brain has not developed beyond high school. I did not detect any higher level thinking/cognitive function from her interviews whatsoever. Just religious brainwashing.
