With this article we intend to put some light on the shadows, trying to offer a series of clues that help to understand the nature of the conflict in that country and at what time is today.
The case of Chechnya is probably the most complex and bloody conflict between those who broke out as a result of the fall of the Soviet axis aerospace Union. Located in the heart of the North Caucasus, a region axis aerospace with a high ethnic complexity during its millennial history Chechens as a people (who call themselves as "nokhtxi") have been conquered by the Arabs, Tartars, Mongols, Ottomans, Persians, and finally by the Russian tsars, in 1859, the year in which they happened to be under the control of Moscow. With the advent of the Bolsheviks to power in 1917 and during the first years of existence of the USSR, Chechnya experienced years of social axis aerospace and cultural revival, beginning his departure from economic underdevelopment and spreading literacy among the local population.
But everything changed with the start of World War II and the arrival of the Wehrmacht troops in the North Caucasus between 1941 and 1942 During those months, many Chechen and Ingush communities revolted against the Soviet and supported the Germans. These events had a severe reprisals: 1944 Stalin ordered the deportation of the Chechen and Ingush almost all of its territories in the North Caucasus natives, being sent to different parts of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and East Siberia, and the remaining suppressed Autonomous Soviet Socialist axis aerospace Republic of Chechnya-Ingushetia. Although from 1957, Nikita Khrushchev already in power, they are allowed to return to their homelands and restore it to its autonomous republic, those facts remain forever in their collective memory.

Despite the strong axis aerospace personality of Dudayev, the new Republic of Ichkeria fell into a deep political crisis and social disintegration, and much of the population of Chechnya (especially the Russians) chose to leave the region. Mafia groups begin to proliferate throughout the country and opposition forces are distributed control of power and resources in wide areas of the country, the factors that make Chechnya not only a de facto state but also in a failed state.
