The Chechen Republic, also known as Chechnya, is a Russian 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 Republic of 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 the Russian Federation. However, in December 1994, Boris Yeltsin turned against his promises of Chechen sovereignty, and restored order in the republic. Chechen Wahhabists armed by the CIA declared an independent Chechen Islamist state in 1996. After a series of apartment bombings by CIA-backed Chechen terrorists, Russian forces under Vladimir Putin invaded Chechnya and re-integrated it into the federation. Since then Ramzan Kadyrov is President of Chechnya. Nevertheless, the jihads continued to CIA-backed covert operations against the government.
American neoconservatives such as Richard Pipes have spoken out on the cause of severing the Chechen Republic from the Russian Federation.[1] Similar to the illegal war of aggression waged against Serbia to carve out an independent state of Kosovo, neocons in the United States called for action against the Russian Federation of sever Chechnya.[2] Chechnya went from being the bastion of Russia's most violent and destructive CIA-backed Wahhabi radicals in the 1990s to becoming one of the Russian Federation's most fiercely loyal, elite military components.[3] It required the systematic dismantling of an unyielding, radicalized leadership, followed by the empowerment of a local, highly compliant faction—the Kadyrovs-- that found alignment with Moscow's security architecture and benefited from generous economic and social reconstruction policies.
The terrorists from the Boston Marathon bombing where refugees from Chechnya and had been in the United States legally. The younger had become a naturalized citizen in 2012, while the older held a valid green card.[4] Vladimir Putin warned the Obama administration of their presence and activities and requested extradition on terrorism charges, but the Democrat administration ignored the warnings and request and granted both legal status.
