  • Draft—August 1995
    “RUSSIA’S TINDERBOX” Conflict in the North Caucasus And its Implications for The Future of the Russian Federation Fiona Hill September 1995 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Background to the Report Introduction Executive Summary Section I The Structural Legacy of the USSR Section II The Crisis of National and Regional Leadership in the North Caucasus Section III The Failure of Russia’s Regional Policy Section IV Territorial Disputes in the North Caucasus Section V Chechnya Appendix 1 The Refugee Crisis in the North Caucasus Appendix 2 The Islamic Factor in the North Caucasus Bibliography Selected Works in English for Additional Reading on the North Caucasus PREFACE Background to the Report In the Summer of 1993, the Strengthening Democratic Institutions Project began an inquiry into the conflicts in Russia’s North Caucasus region, as part of a broader study of post-Soviet ethno- political conflicts. In the course of this inquiry, it became apparent that there were practically no contemporary English-language studies of the North Caucasus. Although the new Transcaucasian states of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were beginning to be studied more closely as a consequence of their new status as independent states after 1991, information on the Russian North Caucasus region was only available from news wires and the occasional flying visits of Western correspondents. This was in spite of the prevalence of violent conflict in the Caucasus as a whole, the involvement of North Caucasian groups in these conflicts, and Chechnya’s 1991 declaration of independence from the Russian Federation. By 1993, Azerbaijan and Armenia had been in a de facto state of war over Nagorno- Karabakh for almost five years; an armed conflict had flared between Georgia and South Ossetia sending a wave of refugees into North Ossetia in the North Caucasus; North Caucasian mercenaries were fighting on the side of Abkhazia in its war with Georgia; and a violent conflict had erupted within the North Caucasus itself between Ossetians and Ingush.
