The '''Chechen Republic''' is a [[Russian]]-occupied republic encompassing located in the North Caucasus mountain region. It borders the Russian republics of Ingushetia, North Ossetia, Dagestan, Stavropol Krai, as well as the pro-Western nation of [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] to the south.
During the collapse of the [[Soviet Union]] in 1991, Dzhokar Dudayev, a former Soviet Air Force general, led the Chechen people to declare independence from Russia, as the Chechens had been under Russian occupation for over a century. However, in December 1994, [[Boris Yeltsin]] turned against his promises of Chechen soverignty, and invaded the repblic to restore Russian rule. The Chechen people defeated the Russians in the First Chechen War, and gained ''de facto'' independence in 1996.
After a series of apartment bombings which were blamed on Chechen freedom-fighters by the Russian government (but which evidence points to as coordinated by the [[Russian]] FSB, the successor to the Soviet [[KGB]]), Russian forces under [[dictator]] [[Vladimir Putin]] invaded Chechnya once again, culminating in a genocidal campaign in which as many as a quarter-million Chechen civilians may have been murdered. Putin has installed a puppet dictatorship by appointing the brutal pro-[[Kremlin]] warlord Ramzan Kadyrov as President of Chechnya. Nevertheless, freedom fighters continue to operate against the Russian occupation today.
[[American]] [[neoconservatives]] such as Richard Pipes have spoken out on the cause of Chechen freedom [http://www.benadorassociates.com/article/7308] Similar to the liberation of [[Kosovo]], [[conservatives]] throughout the [[United States]] have called for Chechnya to be a free and independent nation.[http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1299318,00.html]
