This essay re-evaluates the history of Tajikistan’s close security and military links to Russia and the influence of this relationship on Tajikistan’s sovereignty. By analysing Tajikistan’s security services during the period of Soviet collapse, it suggests that the basic contours of these links can be observed developing in the early 1990s. Following the end of the Tajik Civil War (1992–1997), moreover, these links have only grown, leading to a current situation in which Tajikistan’s and Russia’s security services operate in close coordination. As a result, the Tajik state remains bound in a semblance of a centre–periphery relationship not dissimilar from what it experienced before 1991.
