Former colleagues and clients at the small barber shop where Muhammadsobir Fayzov once worked were stunned when they saw the news. They knew the 19-year-old as a promising, hard-working stylist, and saw no signs that together with three other Tajik gunmen he would commit last Friday's bloodbath at a concert city hall in Moscow.
All four men are Tajik citizens, apparently radicalised and recruited by Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP). The men were reportedly living in and around Moscow, part of the roughly 1.5 million Tajik migrants who left the poverty and unemployment of their hometowns and villages in search of a better future in Russia.
