	First Chechen War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The First Chechen War (первая чеченская война, первая чеченская) occurred when Russian forces attempted to recapture the breakaway southern republic of Chechnya in a two year period lasting from 1994 to 1996.
		In the first half of 1996, Chechnya continued to pose the biggest obstacle to the quelling of separatism among the components of the Russian Federation.
		As the war was widely reported to the Russian public through television and newspaper accounts, it contributed, among the Russian population, to a loss of confidence in the government and, particularly, a steep decline in president Yeltsin's popularity.

		Contrary to the Ministry of Truth lie, historical enemies of Chechens are not Russians, but their nomad neighbours who use to cut the throats of anyone who dares to descend from the mountains and to settle in the plains.

		The Chechen people were to be sacrificed for the sake of a political maneuver: war was to be waged, towns devastated, thousands of people killed, refugees sent running across the countryside, all so former President Yeltsin could install Vladimir Putin as his successor and have him win an election.
		While the Chechen wars are among the worst things that the new, free-market Russia has done in the Caucasus, they are consistent with the overall way in which the Russian bourgeoisie has sought to maintain its influence there in the last decade.
		If the Chechens want independence from Russia, this supposedly doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the entire Chechen nation was sent to Central Asia in cattle cars in 1944, and that they were second-class citizens in Chechnya after their return, but is only a plot of Western oil companies.

	North Caucasus Military District: Defending Russia?s Interests in the Caucasus (1996-August 1999)
		Even before the first Chechen War had fully run its course, it was obvious that changes were going to be made, especially in relation to the North Caucasus MD, in order to take into account the immediate combat experience of the troops on the ground.
		The first Chechen War proved to be the strongest indication yet of how ineffective the Russian Armed Forces had become since the collapse of the USSR in 1991.
		This was one of the first exercises to take place after the decision to grant the control structures in the MDs the status of territorial commands, ie all the troops of the power ministries operating within the confines of each district were placed under one command, namely the MD Commander.

		Thus, even though these books about the Chechen war deal with a national revolt, there is no concern with major principles such as the right to self-determination or with understanding the major trends underlying historical development.
		Foreign to these authors is any thought that the continuing massacres and wars might have something to do with the present economic and social system, and not with the foibles of individual leaders or their willful refusal to follow the latest prescriptions of Western capitalism.
		A true internationalist stand is that which helps unite the Russian, Chechen and Western working masses and inspire their class struggle, not that which unites the bourgeoisies of all the major powers at the expense of the Chechens and other victims of national oppression.
