Related: About this forum"Tamerlane Tsarnaeva recruited via the Georgian Foundation"
Interesting article from a Russia paper suggesting the older brother was recruited by a US intelligence affiliated agency in 2012. Very fishy.

This association created in 1983 was practically inactive until revived on the occasion of the September 11 Attacks to join the abruptly changing apparatus from the Cold War to the War Against Terrorism. During Reagans first term, a number of communist rogues complained not to have had in the West a career comparable to that they had left in the East. The then CIA Director William J. Casey had the idea of satisfying some of them by publishing their testimonies. That way he was killing two birds with one stone : on the one hand, the rogues would recover the public positions they had lost and on the other hand, their declarations would fuel the espionage agencys anti-communist campaign.
