Russia And Chechnia: The Permanent Crisis: Essays On Russo Chechen Relations

4.5/5 ( ratings)

This collection of essays explores the relationship between the Chechens and their Russian conquers, tracing the growth of mistrust and hostility, the rise of Chechen national feeling, and the struggle of the mid-1990s, which has ended provisionally in a Chechen victory. Each contributor to the collection seeks to illuminate the development of this relationship from a different angle: Bulent Gokay looks at the changing image of the independence fighters of the nineteenth century through the prism of Russian and Soviet history writing; William Flemming presents the tragic story of the neargenocidal deportation of 1944 on the basis of newly declassified documents from the Russian archives and Pontus Siren examines the background of the recent conflict in detail; the editorial introduction by Ben Fowkes draws together the other contributions and tries to fill in some of the blanks in the history of the period.
