The history of Chechnya is full of riots and wars. We are all familiar with the war in the 1990s between the Russians and the Chechen separatists, which eventually led to the complete subjugation of Chechnya to Russia. Russia, which has ousted key separatists and established a friendly government in Grozny, has largely stabilized the situation. But he is unable to control the actions of the separatists who continue to operate outside the big cities. In general, relations between the Chechens and the Moscow government have never been harmonious.
