	Chechnya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chechnya is a region in the Northern Caucasus which has constantly fought against foreign rule, beginning with the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century.
		Chechnya is considered an independent republic by its separatists, and a federal republic by its federalists.
		Chechnya has one of the youngest populations in the generally aging Russian Federation; in the early 1990s, it was among the few regions experiencing natural population growth.

		One certain way to perpetuate the war in Chechnya is to drive those who could be won to a political process still further into an identification with the extremists.
		Military action in Chechnya must be more disciplined and more effectively supervised; the commendable (but seldom observed) rules laid down by the Russian prosecutor-general for such operations should be enforced.
		He is now rapporteur to the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe on Chechnya and co-chairman of the joint working group of the Council of Europe and the Duma on Chechnya.

		Yeltsin hoped to use the victory to overtake political opponents and win in the 1996 presidential elections, which was extremely uncertain as opponents within the former Communist Party and nationalists under Vladimir Zhirinovsky had gained a large amount of popular support while Yeltin's approval ratings hovered in the single digits.

	Chechnya, chechen
		As a result, Chechnya has undergone two civil wars, which have left most of Chechnya under the control of the federal military.
		In addition to the elected government, there is a self-proclaimed separatist government that is not recognized by any state (although members have been given in political asylum in European and Arab countries.) The president of this government is Aslan Maskhadov, the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister is Akhmed Zakayev.
		In 2001 he issued a decree prolonging his office for one additional year; he was unable to participate the 2003 presidential election, since separatist parties were said to be barred, and Maskhadov is accused of "terrorist offences" in Russia for his involvement in separatist wars.

		If Putin has much at stake in Chechnya, it is partly because he himself has often drawn the connection between the secessionist republic's future and his own.
		To demonstrate his alleged commitment to a political solution, he held a referendum in March that gave Chechens the opportunity to approve a new draft constitution that reaffirmed Chechnya's status as an integral part of Russia, but promised wide autonomy and self-rule.
		The only mention of Chechnya at all was his offer of amnesty to those who lay down their arms by August and praise for the referendum that, as Putin put it, showed "that the Chechens consider themselves a part and parcel of the multiethnic Russian people.

		Unlike Chechnya, where fighting had been going on sporadically for some time, Moscow was quiet, but for a rally or two, while in the Kremlin, a subtle but a significant change of government was in the making.
		In a way, sending the troops into Chechnya, and the hey and cry over it issuing from the headquarters of Yeltsin's reformist supporters, has had a more powerful effect on the realignment of the political forces in Russia than the disbanding of the parliament in October 1993.
		Yeltsin's low standing in the polls and the resulting political, perhaps, even psychological, need to shake off the lethargy that periodically overcomes Russia's first elected President, made the decisive, contrarian move in Chechnya all the more irresistible.

		One reason for the apparent inability of the Russian military juggernaut to change course is domestic politics.

		That's one of the very things that turned the Russian public opinion against the war in Chechnya last time in '94 to '96.

		For the moment, however, better military and political preparation, aided by some very convenient terrorist bombs which indiscriminately destroyed residential apartment blocks in working class districts, has initially transformed the second Chechnya war (unlike the first) into a popular crusade.
		The war is politically convenient in the heartland because it’s election time and Yeltsin is having trouble grooming a credible candidate to replace him in the Presidential elections next year.
		Given this, the economic crisis, the volatility of the political situation and the crisis in the armed forces, the war is a huge gamble, but if victorious, could not only rebuild the prestige and confidence of the armed forces but mobilise nationalist sentiment and national unity behind the discredited Yeltsin/Putin government.
