 Grozny - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The city may sometimes be referred to as Dzhokhar or Djohar (Chechen: Djovkhar Ghaala); it was named so after Dzhokhar Dudaev, the first president of the separatist Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Grozny became the seat of a separatist government led by Dzhokhar Dudaev.
At this time of quasi-anarchy, most of the remaining Russian minority were forcibly expelled by groups of criminals and militants, adding to a harrasment and discrimination from the new authorities led by the city mayor Bislan Gantamirov.

Dzhokhar Dudaev began to sense that he was a dissident when he was ordered to prepare for the suppression of the Estonians.
When he and Dzhokhar were composing some kind of lengthy document under the evening sky of a still undemolished Grozny, they were like two kids planning to tie an empty jelly tin to the tail of a wolfhound.
Dzhokhar Dudaev, Aslan Mashkadov, and even Shamil Basaev were civilians a long time ago, before the war started.

On 30 October 1991 Dudaev was elected Chechen president, in an election with many failures.
The Chechen parliament in May 1993 removed Dudaev from power, but this had little effect on him: in June he dissolved the parliament, the Grozny city assembly, and the Chechen Constitutional Court, and assaulted the city assembly building.

On September 6, 1991, militants of the All-National Congress of Chechen People (NCChP), headed by Dzhokhar Dudayev, stormed a session of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR Supreme Soviet, killing the Soviet Communist Party chief for Grozny, Vitali Kutsenko, severely injuring several other Soviet members, and effectively dissolving the government of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR.

 2. Chechnya
Dudaev seized all of the important assets and took control of the local security structures in a matter of weeks.
The facts show that the social base of Dudaev's regime consisted mostly of a marginal strata of society that were looking for social revenge via revolution; and that all of the respected and responsible individuals were removed from the ruling structure of the Chechen regime and were replaced by real criminals.
With the strategy of excluding Dudaev from the process of negotiations in abeyance, negotiations between Russian and Chechen representatives (including those that were sanctioned initially by Dudaev) produced only deadlock.

Even the issue of sovereignty should be put on the table, though with the proviso that none should be in the picture in the next 30 years (six times the waiting period specified in the Israeli-Palestinian agreement, since Russia-Chechnya problem is, at least, six times as old).
Dzhokhar Dudaev, by the way, is on the record, saying that Chechnya wants to be part of Russia, if Russia becomes a state governed by the rule of law (Argumenty i fakty 49, Dec. 7, 1994, p.
It was, first and foremost, his Counterintelligence Service whose unsubtle, bungled and utterly counter-productive covert actions against Dzhokhar Dudaev finally forced Yeltsin's heavy hand.

The OKChN facilitated the rise to prominence of Dzhokhar Dudaev, a little-known ethnic Chechen officer in the Soviet air force.
Dudaev's election as Chairman of the OKChN Executive Committee in 1991 radicalized and split the organization as moderate intelligentsia members left the congress to oppose the OKChN openly.
German emphasizes that Dudaev never had the unanimous support of the Chechen nation, despite his manipulative references to the threat of Russian invasion and his disingenuous advocacy of an Islamic state.

And the second Chechen campaign in particular has shown that the Russian journalistic community is split irreconcilably into these two camps.
Back in August 1994, when President Dzhokhar Dudaev's troops clashed with the Chechen opposition, one of the Russian news agencies sent two journalists to Grozny to cover the fighting.
Both sent their dispatches back to Moscow where they were combined into a single report and the agency was satisfied that its version of events was evenly balanced.

Nukhaev calls Dudaev and Maskhadov "hostages of politics," indicting them for having participated in the "bread and spectacle" of the West to establish an anti-traditional form of Chechen social organization -- an independent republic.
And these ideological differences were felt once again after Maskhadov came to power in 1996 and several Chechen taips requested the Russian government to come into Chechnya and intervene on their behalf to quell the rising tide of kidnapping, violence, closed schools, and acts of destruction against social and law enforcement institutions.
When Yeltsin refused, Dudaev, being a general in the Russian army at the time, executed a military rebellion and provoked the latest series of Chechen wars.

Originally a literary scholar, he served as vice-president of the republic from 1991 and became president in April 1996, following the assassination of his predecessor Dzhokhar Dudaev.
In late May 1996, he headed a Chechen delegation that met Russian President Boris Yeltsin and Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin for peace talks that resulted in the signature of a ceasefire agreement on May 27.

Most notably, Chechnya's secessionist president, Dzhokhar Dudaev, served in this early period as a Soviet Air Force general leading a squadron of Sukhoi tactical fighter bombers against the Afghan mujahideen and Arab volunteers.
On the contrary, the Russified Chechens were known throughout the Soviet period as loyal fighters; many of them (including Dudaev) received medals for their military service to the Soviet Union in World War II and the Afghan conflict.
With the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Dudaev and his nationalist leadership took advantage of Russian President Boris Yeltsin's offer to the Federal provinces to "seize as much autonomy as they could" to declare outright national independence for Chechnya.

26 By 1994, the FSK as well as the GRU were only able to work in Chechnya through the armed Opposition to Dudaev, entrenched in their bastions north of the Terek and in Urus-Martan.
It was obvious to everyone, in the spring of 1996, that the ongoing Chechen conflict was a major factor handicapping the reelection of the ailing Yeltsin, whose popularity ratings stood at a rock-bottom 3%.
 Steps were thus taken, after the killing of Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudaev on April 21, 1996,40 to initiate negotiations with his successor Zelimkhan Yandarbiev.

General Dzhokhar Dudaev, a popular Chechen General in the Soviet Air Force, was asked to be the leader of the Chechen nationalist movement.
Dudaev gained support from Moscow and this legitimized his authority as he began to forcefully fill the void of the receding Soviet government.
Hawks that refused to recognize Dudaev as anything other than a criminal and a terrorist slowly dominated Yeltsin's inner circle of advisors.

Meanwhile, clan leaders from the mountainous south organized the Chechen National Congress led by Dzhokhar Dudaev, ironically enough, a former Soviet air force general who had served in Afghanistan.
In the face of the Russia’s 1994 invasion, Chechens rallied to the nationalist militias, and Russia faced a brutal war for which the Russian military was ill-prepared.
Dudaev was killed but his successor, Aslan Maskhadov, was able to retake Grozny in August 1996.

Implicit (and sometimes explicit) in all this is that Dudaev will have to be forced from his post, in the extreme case by force of arms.
And there is now no reason even to discuss the possibility that Khasbulatov might move closer to Dudaev, which the latter had been counting on heavily--he had invited Khasbulatov to Chechnya and had "forgiven" him for his earlier "pro-imperialistic" statements.
Many experts are inclined to believe that Dudaev's time is running out and that the Russian leadership will soon have to decide which opposition official to place its bets on.

In Dec. 1994 Russian Army units moved into the republic to 'restore constitutional legality, order and peace', resulting in large-scale fighting, heavy civilian casualties and protests both in Russia and abroad.
