During World War II, the Soviet government forced many Chechens to move out of their homes on the grounds that Chechens cooperated with German aggressors. At that time, more than 387,000 Chechens were deported to Central Asia and Siberia. It was not until 1957 1.9 that supreme soviet of the ussr decided to restore the organizational system of the Chechen-Ingushetia Autonomous Republic and put it under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. The Chechen issue has always been a big problem that puzzles Russia. The contradiction between Russia and Chechen nationality can be traced back to the Tsar's invasion of Chechnya in the first half of the18th century, but the real contradiction intensified before and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Due to historical problems and the intervention of external forces, ethnic separatist forces in Chechnya have expanded viciously.

1991September, Major General of the Soviet Air Force and Chechen dudayev overthrew the local Soviet regime by force.

On June+10, 5438, presidential and parliamentary elections were held in Chechnya, and dudayev was elected president. 165438+ 10, that is, on the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, dudayev ordered the establishment of the Chechen Republic as a "sovereign state" and soon established the Chechen National Guard. Since then, Chechnya has neither signed the Russian Federation Treaty of 1992 nor participated in the Russian parliamentary election of 1993, and has gone further and further on the road of "independence".

In order to quell the increasingly rampant separatist forces in Chechnya and safeguard the territorial integrity of the country, the Russian authorities dispatched 60,000 troops in February to crack down on illegal Chechen armed forces.

For various reasons,1August 3, 1996165438, the government of the Russian Federation reached an agreement with Ewat, an illegal Chechen armed force in Russia, stipulating that Chechnya's status would be put on hold for five years. The 20-month-long war in Chechnya ended with a "Hathaway-Ewart Agreement", and all the federal troops withdrew from Chechnya 1.997+0.5438 in June.

1997 1 In June, Chechnya held a presidential election and maskhadov was elected. In May of the same year, the Russian Federation and Chechnya signed a treaty on principles of peace and mutual relations. However, maskhadov still insists that Chechnya is an "independent country", not only refusing to implement the peace agreement, but also stepping up separatist activities. What is particularly disturbing to the Russian authorities is that in Chechnya under the leadership of maskhadov, ultra-nationalist forces not only stepped up separatist activities in Chechnya, but also attacked neighboring Dagestan in an attempt to establish a "theocratic state" with an autonomous republic.

Thus,1August, 1999, the Russian authorities sent 654.38+million troops and started the second Chechen war.

After the Russian government declared maskhadov as the illegal president of Chechnya in June 5438 +2000 10, he hid in the southern mountainous area of Chechnya and became one of the three leaders of Chechen illegal armed forces, organizing and leading Chechen illegal armed forces to confront the Russian army. After aerial bombing and ground encirclement and suppression by Russian government forces, a large number of illegal Chechen armed forces were eliminated. However, the remaining illegal armed forces in Chechnya are fragmented, and guerrilla tactics are adopted inside and outside Chechnya, constantly creating terrorist incidents in various parts of Russia. Especially in recent years, illegal militants in Chechnya have been rampant, taking hostages and blowing up passenger planes, causing a large number of casualties.
