	David Satter on Russia & Chechnya on National Review Online
		Second, there was the possibility in the theater crisis to open talks not with the terrorists but with Maskhadov.
		The Chechens, however, are as distinct from the Russians in terms of their culture, traditions and history, as the Georgians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis, all of whom now have their own states.
		The bombings were blamed on Chechen militants and united the country behind a new war in Chechnya that turned the previously unknown Putin into a national leader and guaranteed his election as president.

	Foreign Military Studies Office Publications - The Second Chechen War: The Information
		Second, the first war showed that the Russian soldiers and not Islamic fundamentalists were the primary source of weapons for Chechen guerillas.
		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.

	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.
		Since the Chechen conflict began in 1994, similar cases have been reported all across Russia: depressed young veterans return embittered and traumatized to their home towns and begin lashing out at those around them; soldiers are psychologically scarred.

	The War in Chechnya: What Is At Stake?
		Although this second Russo-Chechen war was triggered by a number of security challenges to Russia, it has escalated to a point where the West must act to curtail the carnage.
		If the war is not stopped, the future of democracy in Russia will be endangered, as will the stability of the Southern Caucasus and the security of oil transportation from the region.
		The fusion of Chechen nationalism and Wahhabism, a strict form of Islam that originated in Saudi Arabia, is typical of trends in the Southern tier of the former Soviet Union.

	Vicken Cheterian, The Chechen War
		The war was prepared and commanded by the FSK (Federal Counterintelligence Service) and the Interior Ministry, with the genshtab taking the leadership of military operations only in February 1995, after the disastrous New Years' attack on Grozny which had led to the death of some 2000 Russian soldiers.
		The opposition to the war was at every level of the army: from simple soldiers who simply refused to fight, to Generals Boris Gromov and Valery Mironov, Deputy Defence Ministers, who considered that the army was unprepared for the operation and was going to be held responsible for the failure.
		One is left with the impression that it is the army that is dictating the political goals of the war, a strange situation in a country where the military is supposed to be under civilian control.

		The second Chechen war may have officially ended four years ago, but the crisis enveloping the restive Caucasian republic refuses to subside, as was shown by the seizure of hundreds of adults and children at a school in Beslan, north Ossetia, in September 2004 by armed rebels demanding independence for Chechnya.
		When war broke out between Georgia and Abkhas, he rushed to the aid of the separatists fighting in Tbilisi by seizing a travel bus and taking a local dignitary hostage, who was later exchanged for a helicopter.
		The irony of the story is that the separatists he trained Abkhazian war turned out to be Russian officers, just as the Americans had once trained supporters of bin Laden during their battle against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

		The Second Chechen War began in September 1999, when Russian forces crossed into Chechnya intent on crushing several armed groups that had attempted to create an Islamic uprising in Dagestan.
		From their hideouts, the Chechens resorted to ambush tactics they had perfected during the First Chechen War (1994 to 1996).
		Despite late-March Russian estimates that 4,000 Chechen fighters were still operating in the southern Chechen mountains and that 1,000 more had escaped to the plains to blend in with the local population, Federal Interior Ministry unit commanders continued to be careless and failed to coordinate operations with the army.

	ACPC Reports
		For the current second war of 1999-2001, my highly tentative figures — actually little more than a stab in the dark — would be: 8,000 troops of the Russian military and MVD; 8,000 Chechen separatist fighters; and 20,000-25,000 civilians, yielding a total of 36,000-41,000 to date.
		It emerged that a number of Chechens for whom pension funds were being received by the Russian military were in fact "dead souls," persons deceased or not currently living at their previous address.
		One Chechen woman who worked at a street market was offered the corpse of her nephew by a Russian officer: the asking price — $1,000 in cash, plus a $200 gold necklace.

	War in Chechnya
		A number of Chechens believe that the bombings and the Daghestan unrest were the work of Kremlin, merely a pretext to launch the second war -- a charge Russian officials have furiously denied.
		Following the First Chechen War, the rebels have increasingly resorted to bombings, including suicide bombings, of government and civilian targets in Chechnia and beyond -- as was the case with the February metro bombing in Moscow.
		Since the second Iraq War, criticism by Western governments of the abuses in Chechnya have subsided, in large part because of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

	Is Chechen conflict 'over'? \| csmonitor.com
		The death of Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev will likely greatly weaken the current rebel movement in Chechnya, analysts say, but some still warn that Russia's troubles in the Caucasus are not apt to improve.
		His rebel invasion of Dagestan in 1999 sparked a second Chechen war, and in the years that followed his radical Islamic group claimed responsibility for many terrorist acts in Russia.
		Nonetheless, Pyotr Romanov, a political commentator for Russian news agency RIA Novosti, called the current Chechen war "over," though he notes that Chechen upheaval has been "like a recurring fever" in Russian history, and that it may happen again without prevention.
