 Chapter 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

 TONY WOOD - THE CASE FOR CHECHNYA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Naqshbandi Sufi brotherhood, with its aversion to hierarchy and creed of resistance, held strong appeal for Chechens, and it was under Sufi leadership—uniting dozens of disparate Caucasian peoples behind the banner of Islamic solidarity—that the most effective resistance to Russian colonial domination was to be mobilized in the 19th century.

After the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, the North Caucasian peoples sought to establish a confederation of peoples of mountainous areas but this was eventually thwarted by the Communists who imposed their rule through small-nation ethnic republics such as the Chechen-Ingush, Khabardin-Balkari, Karachai-Cherkess, and Kalmuk republics.
The social fabric of the Chechen people had been shattered and poisoned by the war and this bred a new desperate group of brigands who became influenced by a fundamentalist Muslim sect, the Wahhabis, originally from Saudi Arabia.

 Taras Shevchenko and Ichkeria, present-day Chechnya (03/05/00)
However, as I later learned, the lines are from the poem "Kavkaz" (The Caucasus), which Shevchenko wrote in support of the Caucasian peoples in their ongoing fight against Russian subjugation in the first half of the 19th century.
I also felt great admiration for their bravery, both for having fought the Russian invaders in the 19th century for 50 years, and for facing, against seemingly insurmountable odds, the same foe twice at end of the old and beginning of the new millenium.

Remarkably, however, Shevchenko held no animosity to those who killed his friend, but rather supported their struggle to remain free of Kremlin rule.

In the 1950s this chair was liquidated, and the Caucasian languages were studied at the academies and universities of the Caucasian republics.
