	Alu Alkhanov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alu Dadashevich Alkhanov is the president of Russia's Chechen Republic.
		Alu Alkhanov's election in August 2004 was controversial from the outset.
		Alkhanov's platform was effectively a continuation of his predecessor's policies, with Chechnya continuing to remain part of Russia; economic autonomy; attracting aid and investment; cutting unemployment and the Russian military presence; and opening peace talks with separatist leader Aslan Maskhadov.

	CBC News Indepth: Chechnya
		Alu Alkhanov's ties to Moscow are strong and go back to the early days of his political career – not exactly a recipe for success as a Chechen leader.
		Alkhanov headed up Chechnya's transport police from 1995 to '96 and caught the eye of Russia's leadership when he led the defence of Grozny's train station against Chechen militants in 1996.
		Alkhanov was named chief of transport police, a job he held until he was appointed Chechnya's interior minister in April 2003.
