Isaev Ave., Grozny, 364068, Russia [email protected], 7(8712) 22-43-01 Abstract The paper is devoted to the analysis of the privatization activity of the industrial enterprises in the Chechen Republic over 2013-2018. The authors noted that the importance of the privatization covers the change of the form and entity of freehold interest in the property, transfer of state property to citizens and legal entities, that is, to private property. Thus, according to the authors, there is a layer of new owners, and the state is freed from costs on maintenance and management of inefficient production. -
Chechnya – War and History 400 Years of Colonial Conquest – 400 Years of Resistance
Ekkehard Maaß | Bettina Kubanek Chechnya War and History 400 Years of Colonial Conquest – 400 Years of Resistance This exhibition was produced by the German-Caucasian Society An old Chechen legend A long, long time ago there was a violent storm. It plucked trees by their roots, caused rivers and seas to burst their banks and razed mountains flat. It was so violent that all living beings fled before it. None resis- ted but a lone wolf, who stood fast on all four legs to spite the storm. The storm grew angry, tearing the wolf’s hide from his body in tatters and biting him until his blood ran, and yet the wolf would not flinch from where he stood… for he had no other home but this and refused to abandon it, however great the misfortune that befell it. Chechnya – War and History 400 Years of Colonial Conquest – 400 Years of Resistance When Chechnya left the Soviet Union in 1991 to declare independence, its prospects were just as real as those of former Soviet republics in the Baltic, South Caucasus and Asia. Never did the Chechens imagine that their country would be totally destroyed by air raids and artillery fire during two Russian wars while Western democracies, for the most part, stood by. 200,000 dead, the plight of refugees, concentration camps, purges and cruel torture have uprooted Chechen society and driven people to a despair that makes them increasingly unpredictable. The spread of the conflict throughout the North Caucasus and its devastat- ing impact on Russian society itself should be a cause for deep concern among the governments of Europe. -

A View from Chechnya: An Assessment of Russian Counterinsurgency During the two Chechen Wars and Future Implications A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Defence and Strategic Studies at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Sean Renaud 2010 Abstract Following the 11 September 2001 attacks, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the myriad of smaller engagements taking place around the world in conjunction with the global war on terrorism, military academia has increasingly focused study on historical counter-insurgencies. The study of historical counter-insurgency has been very beneficial to the conduct of contemporary counter-insurgency operations. Although lessons can be learned from historical study, any conclusions tend to be subjective and are time, space and country specific. Notwithstanding this, historical case studies of counter-insurgency operations reveal a number of consistent themes. These themes include: the recommended approaches towards the conduct of information, security, hearts and minds, and reconstruction operations, the use of allied indigenous forces, the importance of unity of effort between the various counter-insurgent forces, the correct use of air power, the manipulation of the media, the proper training of counter-insurgent forces, logistics operations, and the importance of morale during counter-insurgencies. In the last two decades Russia has fought two counter-insurgency conflicts in Chechnya. -
