Abstract
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, and especially under the Russian Federation since the mid‐1990s, Chechnya has been a site of regional conflict and insurrection for independence. Russia's move to stop the province's quest for independence brought international attention and in many ways, due to the inability to end the guerilla uprising, contributed to the end of Boris Yeltsin's political career. A brief truce ended when militant Islamic factions again began fighting for independence in the late 1990s, helping to catapult Vladimir Putin into power. Putin classified the Chechen rebels as terrorists. This distinction helped to turn the tide of international opinion against the Chechen rebels, especially following the bombing of the World Trade Center and the declaration of the “Global War on Terror.”
