 ERA OF TERRORIST-PRESIDENTS IN CHECHNYA ENDS WITH MASKHADOV
In the past three years, Maskhadov, the former president of the self-proclaimed republic of Ichkeria, compromised himself so much with his links to international terrorism and involvement in terrorist attacks on peaceful civilians that any other words would hardly be suitable for him.

Alkhanov is the successor and heir of Maskhadov as a president and political leader of the Chechens in the same way as the Bolsheviks were the heirs of Russian emperors in the beginning of the last century, and then democrats succeeded the communists 80 years later.
