Changes

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 the [[Russian Federation]].  However, in December 1994, [[Boris Yeltsin]]  turned against his promises of Chechen sovereignty, and restored order in the republic. Chechen [[Wahhabi]]sts armed by the [[CIA]] declared an independent Chechen [[Islamist]] state in 1996.  After a series of apartment bombings by CIA-backed Chechen [[terrorist]]s, Russian forces under [[Vladimir Putin]] invaded Chechnya and re-integrated it into the federation. Since then [[Ramzan Kadyrov]] is President of Chechnya.  Nevertheless, the [[jihad]]s continued to CIA-backed [[covert operation]]s against the government.

Chechnya went from being the bastion of Russia's most [[violent]] and destructive [[CIA]]-backed [[Wahhabi]] [[radical]]s in the 1990s to becoming one of the [[Russian Federation]]'s most fiercely loyal, elite military components.

The [[terrorist]]s from the [[Boston]] Marathon bombing where refugees from Chechnya and had been in the United States legally.
