Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: Jahar's World - Rolling Stone. Our hearts go out to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, and our thoughts are always with them and their families. The cover story we are publishing this week falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone’s long- standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage of the most important political and cultural issues of our day. The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens. The boy, identified as . On the other hand, there were a million skinny kids with vaguely ethnic features and light- gray hoodies in the Boston area, and half the city was probably thinking they recognized the suspect. Payack, who'd been near the marathon finish line on the day of the bombing and had lost half of his hearing from the blast, had hardly slept in four days. But he was too agitated to go back to bed. Later that morning, he received a telephone call from his son. It was beyond shocking. It was like an alternative reality. At Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Me., admissions officers are still talking about the high school senior who attended a campus information session last year for prospective students. Throughout the presentation, she apparently posted disparaging comments on Twitter about her fellow attendees. USA Today politics blog. Most Popular CNN: George W.

That afternoon, Payack spoke with CNN, where he issued a direct appeal. There has been enough death, destruction. Please turn yourself in. He'd been wounded just after midnight in a violent confrontation with police that had killed his 2. Tamerlan. For the next 1. He was found just after 6 p. FBI negotiators to persuade him to surrender. And it frequently requires complex thinking. In fixing motorcycles you come up with several imagined trains of cause and effect for manifest symptoms, and you judge their likelihood before tearing anything down. This imagining relies on a mental library that you.The following morning, Payack received a text from one of the agents with the FBI's Crisis Negotiating Unit. He'd heard Payack's televised appeal, told him he'd invoked the coach's name while speaking with Jahar. But all of a sudden, here's somebody from his past, a past that he liked, that he fit in with, and it hit a soft spot. We Muslims are one body, you hurt one, you hurt us all. Then he veered slightly from the standard script, writing a statement that left no doubt as to his loyalties: . A few – including the plots to blow up the New York subway system and Times Square – were legitimate and would have been catastrophic had they come to fruition. Yet none did until that hazy afternoon of April 1. Close to 3. 00 more were injured by flying shrapnel, with many losing a leg, or an arm, or an eye; a scene of unbelievable carnage that conjured up images of Baghdad, Kabul or Tel Aviv. An uneasy panic settled over Boston when it was revealed that the Tsarnaev brothers were not, as many assumed, connected to a terrorist group, but young men seemingly affiliated with no one but themselves. Tamerlan, known to his American friends as . His little brother, Jahar, had earned a scholarship to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and was thinking about becoming an engineer, or a nurse, or maybe a dentist – his focus changed all the time. They were Muslim, yes, but they were also American – especially Jahar, who became a naturalized U. S. Jahar, however, was on no one's watch list. To the contrary, after several months of interviews with friends, teachers and coaches still reeling from the shock, what emerges is a portrait of a boy who glided through life, showing virtually no signs of anger, let alone radical political ideology or any kind of deeply felt religious beliefs. At his arraignment at a federal courthouse in Boston on July 1. Jahar smiled, yawned, slouched in his chair and generally seemed not to fully grasp the seriousness of the situation, while pleading innocent to all charges. At times he seemed almost to smirk – which wasn't a . A visit to the Shetland Islands inspired Sarah Burton's lineup packed with Scottish motifs (kilts, chunky knits, lace) that bridged tender and tough.

Born on July 2. 2nd, 1. Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan, where his father, Anzor, had grown up in exile. Anzor is from Chechnya, the most vilified of the former Soviet republics, whose people have been waging a near- continuous war since the 1. Russian rule. Dzhokhar's mother, Zubeidat, is an Avar, the predominantly Muslim ethnic group of Chechnya's eastern neighbor, Dagestan, which has been fighting its own struggle for independence against the Russians since the late 1. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Chechen nationalists declared their independence, which resulted in two brutal wars where the Russian army slaughtered tens of thousands of Chechens and leveled its capital city, Grozny. By 1. 99. 9, the violence had spread throughout the region, including Dagestan. Though Islam is the dominant religion of the North Caucasus, religion played virtually no role in the life of Anzor Tsarnaev, a tough, wiry man who'd grown up during Soviet times, when religious worship in Kyrgyzstan was mostly underground. In Dagestan, where Islam had somewhat stronger footing, many women wear hijabs; Zubeidat, though, wore her dark hair like Pat Benatar. The couple met while Anzor was studying law and were married on October 2. The next day, their first child, Tamerlan, was born. Three more children would follow, all of them born in Kyrgyzstan, where Anzor secured a job as an investigator in the prosecutor's office in the nation's capital, Bishkek. It was a prestigious position, especially for a Chechen, but Anzor had larger ambitions. He hoped to take his family to America, where his brother, Ruslan, an attorney, was building an upper- middle- class life. After Russia invaded Chechnya in 1. Anzor was fired from his job as part of a large- scale purge of Chechens from the ranks of the Kyrgyz government. ![]() The Tsarnaevs then fled to Zubeidat's native Dage. In the spring of 2. Anzor, Zubeidat and Jahar, then eight, arrived in America on a tourist visa and quickly applied for political asylum. The three older children, Ailina, Bella and Tamerlan, stayed behind with relatives. During their first month in America, Jahar and his parents lived in the Boston- area home of Dr. Khassan Baiev, a Chechen physician and friend of Anzor's sister, who recalled Anzor speaking of discrimination in Kyrgyzstan that . In July 2. 00. 3, the rest of the family joined them in Cambridge, where they'd moved into a small, three- bedroom. For the first year, the Tsarnaevs received public assistance. But they never seemed to struggle, Anna says. The Tsarnaevs were atypical in that regard. Jahar, on the other hand, was the baby, his mother's . My mom would always say, 'Why can't you talk to me the way Dzhokhar talks to his mother?'. Now a student at Boston University, Baudy remembers family get- togethers in the Tsarnaevs' cramped, top- floor apartment, where Jahar and Tamerlan shared a small room with a bunk bed; in an even smaller room, their sisters shared just a mattress. There was never room for everyone around the tiny kitchen table, so the boys would engage in epic games of manhunt, or play video games on the giant TV in the living room, while their parents ate and socialized. Anzor was famous for his booming laugh, which Jahar inherited – . But it was wrestling that became his primary sport, as was also true for Baudy, a squarely built kid who competed in a higher weight class than the slender, 1. Jahar. He even talked about marrying a Chechen girl. One of the most liberal and intellectually sophisticated cities in the U. S., Cambridge is also one of the most ethnically and economically diverse. There are at least 5. Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, whose motto – written on walls, murals and school- course catalogs, and proclaimed over the PA system – is . There are more affluent areas, and in them live the children of professors from nearby Harvard and MIT who also attend Rindge, . Though he'd arrived in America speaking virtually no English, by high school he was fluent, with only a trace of an accent, and he was also fluent in the local patois. A diligent student, he was nominated to the National Honor Society in his sophomore year, which was also when he joined the wrestling team. In his junior year, the team made him a captain. By then, everyone knew him as 'Jahar,' which his teammates would scream at matches to ensure the refs would never mispronounce his name.? Aaronson, a longtime friend of the late historian Howard Zinn, also lives on Norfolk Street, down the block from the Tsarnaevs' home. And I'm like, 'Chechnya? Are you shitting me?'. And that's what endeared me to him: This was the quintessential kid from the war zone, who made total use of everything we offer so that he could remake his life. They were, as one Cambridge parent told me, . A diligent student, Jahar talked about attending Brandeis or Tufts, recalls a friend I'll call Sam, one of a tight- knit group of friends, who, using pseudonyms, agreed to speak exclusively to Rolling Stone. He'd just go, 'I got you, dog' – even if you called him totally wasted at, like, two or three in the morning. Of course, he adds, the police pulled them over, but Jahar was unfazed. He was never violent. Girls went a little crazy over him – though to Jahar's credit, his friends say, even when he had crushes, he never exploited them. He was too sweet, you know? The two had driver's ed together, which led to lots of time getting high and hanging out. Jahar, she says, had a talent for moving between social groups and always seemed able to empathize with just about anyone's problems. He was a Cambridge kid. A few years ago, for instance, one of their mutual friends decided to convert to Islam, which some, like Cara, thought was really cool, and others, like Jackson, met with a shrug. He fasted during Ramadan, which included giving up pot – an immense act of self- control, his friends say. There was one occasion in particular, a few years ago, when Jahar became visibly uncomfortable when James, the friend who'd converted, began speaking casually about the faith. It wasn't conditional with him.
