Assessing the Russian-Chechen Wars and Their Impact on Regional Stability

Abstract

The present article aims to systematically examine the Russian-Chechen wars from diverse perspectives, with the goal of cultivating a comprehensive understanding of issues pertaining to the behavioral dynamics of involved actors. The primary objectives encompass an in-depth analysis of the wars’ repercussions on regional stability, dissemination of awareness regarding the subject matter, and the formulation of discernible behavioral patterns within the Russian Federation. This article critically examines the influence of the Russian-Chechen wars that occurred in the 1990s and lasted for almost a decade. The conflicts between the Russian Federation and Chechen rebellions had a significant influence on regional stability during that period.Forensic examinations in cases involving the North Caucasus conflict contribute to establishing the truth. By thoroughly studying legal aspects and emphasizing the potential rights of the Chechens to self-determination, the legality of Russian intervention is called into question. Forensic experts’ conclusions capture frequent violations of humanitarian laws and human rights by both sides, leading to war crimes and crimes against humanity. In pursuit of exhaustive analyses delineating the intricacies of the conflict and its ramifications on political stability, the research method includes the adoption of a qualitative approach. This involves meticulous scrutiny of pertinent journal articles, research papers, scholarly publications, and examination of legal and historical documents. The article observes wars from various perspectives and tries to bring a comprehensive understanding of the results.
