		Some Dagestanis are reported to have helped the Chechens in their war and some of the more radical Chechen war leaders wish to force Russia out of the area and unite the Muslim peoples of the Caucasus region.

	Second Chechen War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chechen state was opposed by both sides of the Russian Civil War and was crushed by Bolshevik troops in 1922.
		In 1944 Stalin deported nearly all the Chechens and Ingushs to Kazakh SSR and Kirghiz SSR, and Siberia.

		Chechen fighters executed prisoners and civilian opponents, used civilians to shield their forces and military installations, and drove Russian civilians out of Chechnya in a systematic campaign.
		A Chechen asked such a question would give you either a look of pity because you were clearly a fool or else a threatening retort that you must be an enemy.
		Chechen fighters, as well as using civilians as shields in battle, killed prisoners and civilian opponents, especially supporters of pro-Moscow Chechen political groups, frequently torturing and mutilating victims.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Chechen war exceeds Russia's expectations
		Chechen militants and al-Qaida — which grew out of the 1980s mujahedeen resistance to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan — were united by Islamist ideology and common hatred of Moscow.

	Foreign Military Studies Office Publications - The Second Chechen War: The Information Component
		This war, which caused an estimated $5.5 billion in economic damage, was largely the cause of Russia's national economic crisis in 1998, when the Russian government proved unable to service its huge debts.
		Just prior to the first war there were mass demonstrations in the streets of Grozny, especially after the dissolution of the local parliament and constitutional court, the appearance of dozens of so-called "mortal enemies" of Dudayev and several attempts on his life.
		Chechens perceive the arrival of the Russian military to fight terrorists as Muscovites would see the arrival of a Chechen army to fight the mafia—"better our own bandits than alien liberators." The idea of Chechen independence never had anything to do with a desire for a more prosperous life after separating from Moscow.

		Chechens had a firm confidence of their resistance in any extreme situations and there was, at last, a hope for the sober objective approach of Moscow.

	First Chechen War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The weak Chechen Air Force, composed mainly of a trainer aircraft, and much of Dudayev's air defense was destroyed in the first few hours of the war, but Boris Yeltsin's expectations of a quick surgical strike, followed by Chechen capitulation, were horribly misguided, and Russia was quickly submerged in a quagmire.
		On February 8, a truce was announced, and the remaining Chechen forces withdrew from the devastated city, and moved their headquarters to the town of Novogroznensk—the first of several temporary capitals to follow.
		By the summer of 1995, the Chechen mining of transportation routes, buildings and other targets was said to be "acquiring a massive character." The use of mines and ambushes in combination was exploited effectively by Chechen separatists, as was the use of mines and explosives to target pro-Russian leaders and facilities.

		He was one of the hundreds of Chechen men detained en masse in the early 2000s.
		Not only will General Baranov not be punished — he was at war with the separatists and the man whom he ordered “rubbed out” in his eyes was a separatist — but it appears Bazorkina is not likely to receive any compensation from the Russian government anytime soon.

		After rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov, 53, was killed Tuesday, the Kremlin and its allies declared a major success in arresting a decade of war in Chechnya, a breakaway southern republic.
		They say the Kremlin has handed control of the Chechen resistance to its most brutal leader, Shamil Basayev, an Islamic fundamentalist who asserted responsibility for the school siege in Beslan.
