 Online NewsHour -- Conflict in Chechnya: Russia's Renegade Republic -- Early History
When the Russians again offered the Chechens a nominally autonomous republic in 1936 in a bid to end the violence, the Chechens joined with neighboring Ingushetia in 1934 to form a joint republic that was later named the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
Less than a decade later, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, who had ordered numerous purges of the communist party, the military and other ethnic groups, decided the Chechens could not be trusted in such a pivotal region.
Although the Chechens were allowed to return and their limited republic was restored, the Soviets continued to curtail their ability to practice Islam, and many of the region’s mosques were not rebuilt until well into the 1970s.
