https://doi.org/10.53658/RW2023-3-2(8)-20-31
Abstract
The article analyzes the main stages of the evolution of the Taliban* movement. Considering the transformation of the military-political activity of the movement, the author identifies five main stages: the birth of the Taliban*, the first reign, a period of calm, a period of revival and re-rule. According to the estimates presented in the article, the main goals and objectives of the Taliban* have not changed much over 20 years, but the composition of the movement has changed, which was reflected in changes in the prohibition policy.
