What do you need to immigrate to Chechnya?

Chechnya has always been a headache for Russia, and it is also the place where the first local war occurred in Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Compared with Russia, Chechnya is less than 1? But it has always been a hot spot for Russian military and political investment.

During the first Chechen war, Russia dispatched 80,000 troops to conquer Chechnya, but it was defeated in the end. Why did Chechnya keep quiet during the Soviet period and deliberately pity Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union? Why did the first Chechen war in Russia fail? Let's take a look today.

Earlier, Chechnya and Russia were actually not the same country, and their national cultures and languages were fundamentally different. /kloc-In the 8th century, Russia invaded Chechnya through military expansion, and after more than half a century of military conquest, Russia occupied the whole territory of Chechnya.

However, the places where Chechens live belong to the military battlefields of past dynasties, and the perennial wars have cultivated their brave and unyielding character. Therefore, although Russia ruled Chechnya through high-pressure military, it was never able to completely subdue Chechens.

During Stalin's period, in order to completely occupy Chechnya, the policy of slaughter and thorough immigration was adopted. The specific method was to unconditionally slaughter Chechens who resisted slightly in the name of splitting the motherland, and those safe Chechens were forcibly sent to Kazakhstan to work. After all this, Chechens have completely left the former Chechen region. At the same time, a large number of Russians were sent to Chechnya to settle down.

With the decline of the Soviet Union in the 1980s, the Soviet authorities could not continue to control Chechnya by coercive means, which brought some Chechens back to their hometowns. After Stalin's massacre and immigration policy, Chechens not only failed to yield, but also planted deeper hatred thoughts.

So when the Soviet Union disintegrated, Chechnya wanted to take the opportunity to become independent.

However, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, all countries that allowed independence were allies of the Soviet Union. Chechnya is constitutionally defined as an autonomous country within Russia, so it has no right to independence.

However, at that time, forces from all walks of life in the West were trying to find ways to make these autonomous regions in Russia achieve second independence. If a country succeeds in independence, then Russia will definitely have a second big disintegration. At that time, Russia was trying to avoid such a big collapse. It is also preparing to win Chechnya, which has the strongest sense of independence and the smallest territory and population.

So the war between Russia and Chechnya broke out.

1994165438+1October 3 1 Yeltsin personally signed the presidential decree and sent troops to occupy Chechnya. Less than a month later, Russia sent 80,000 troops to occupy Chechnya militarily. In contrast, there are less than 20,000 ethnic armed forces in Chechnya, and their weapons strength is not the same as that of Russia.

However, due to the tough human nature of Chechnya, Chechnya also brought huge losses to the Russian army in the war.

It took Russia less than five months to control 90% of the land in Chechnya, and Chechen rebels had to hide in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare. Later, Chechens used guerrilla tactics to increase the casualties of Russian troops in Chechnya. At the same time, some Chechens went to Moscow, the Russian capital, to engage in some terrorist attacks, which brought great pressure to the Russian government at that time.

Due to more and more terrorist attacks, the anti-war sentiment of the Russian people is growing. Later, Yeltsin had to announce the end of the first Chechen war and unconditionally withdraw his troops from Chechnya.

On the surface, it achieved more than 90% military occupation of Chechnya, but in fact it suffered heavy losses. Instead of completely conquering Chechnya, it made Chechnya's rebellious will stronger.

Fortunately, after Putin came to power, he conquered Chechnya again by absolute force according to Stalin's way, but I think such a tough policy will never be a long-term solution, and problems will still appear in the near future.
