I am glad Chechen war is in the past, it brought to much problems for my country.

I am from Russia.

I do wish the Chechen people were allowed their independence though.

Its highly hypocritical of Russia to complain about Georgia not allowing S.Ossetia and Abkhazia to become nations while violently supressing several parts of their own country.

 

It easy to wish something that does not really affect your life. They was pretty much independed before second Chechen War, they had elections and stuff. They ended up with shariah low on they territory, capturing  russian citizens and demand money from their relatives, attacking russian military and the hiding on Chechen territory, bombing public places in Russia, influencing other republics within Russian Federation to become "Rebels". 

 

Still since they are republic, they have a lot of independnce right now. 

 

Under Kadyrov?

He is a vicous puppet of Putin's who rules Chechnya with a private army, they have no independence and very few freedoms.
