The ancestors of Chechens lived in the mountains of the North Caucasus for generations, belonging to the mountain people, and their folk customs were tough and barbaric. At that time, Chechens robbed businessmen as their main business, so there was a fighting spirit in their bones very early.
Of course, this is not suppressed by any country or nation. With the rise of Russia, after more than half a century of repression and slaughter, Russia finally conquered this tenacious nation in the19th century. Chechnya suffered a serious population loss and was unable to confront the powerful czar, so it had to convert. The outbreak of World War II made Chechnya see the hope of independence.
Chechnya * * * hopes to cooperate with the Germans and finally achieve independence. In fact, in the end, it not only failed to achieve this, but also brought great trouble and disaster to Chechens. Stalin of the Soviet Union at that time firmly believed in the collusion between Chechnya and the German Nazis, and the original feudal relationship between the two peoples. In a rage, Stalin forced all Chechens to move to cold Siberia.
At that time, Chechens were not only short of food and clothing, but also lacked even the most basic health care drugs. It is said that Chechnya lost hundreds of thousands of people only during the migration period, which was quite painful. After Khrushchev came to power, he forgave the Chechens and agreed to return to the Caucasus mountains where they lived for generations.
After three transgressions and five twists and turns, Chechens are obviously much better. However, when the Soviet regime began to shake, Chechens began to rethink. Taking advantage of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this was originally the best opportunity for Chechens to become independent. After all, there were too many countries that left the Soviet Union at that time.
Although Russia took over Chechnya, Russia had too many things to do at first, and Yeltsin didn't do well enough. Therefore, at the repeated request of Chechnya, Chechnya signed a series of agreements with Russia, and Chechnya also obtained weapons and equipment left by the Soviet Union in the region. It can be said that Chechnya is the closest to independence at this time, but in fact it just declared independence.
Due to the contradiction between Chechnya and Russia and its own economic problems, the first Chechen war broke out. Yeltsin's direct command of 60,000 Russian troops is intended to completely safeguard the territorial integrity of the country. But it failed. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of Soviet aviation weapons in Chechnya were taken over by Chechen armed forces, and their book assets even ranked among European countries. Before the war, Chechen leader dudayev owned more than 200 fighter planes of various types, but it took only 1 hour to be destroyed by the Russian Air Force.
During the first Chechen war, the only notable thing for the Russian army was air combat. At the beginning of the war, the Russian army first dispatched the air force to attack the aviation units of Chechen rebels. However, the Russian army is miserable. The Russian army suffered heavy losses in the first Chechen war. Of the 2,200 tanks and armored vehicles participating in the war, 225 were completely destroyed, including 62 tanks.
1994 The Russian army 13 1 brigade (belonging to the 58th Army of the Caucasus Military Region) that first invaded the center of Grozny lost 20 tanks and 100 armored vehicles in three days. The first Chechen war was a war? Comparable to the Battle of Stalingrad? In the brutal urban war, the Russian army, which once enjoyed a high reputation in the world, dispatched more than 30 thousand troops and fought for three months, with huge casualties and serious frustration. Nearly 6,000 Russian troops were killed and over 7,000 Chechen troops were killed/kloc-0.
In the Chechen wars of 1994 and 1999, Chechen rebels trained a large number of snipers, and more than 20% of Russian troops were killed by snipers' cold shots. So that when Russian checkpoints check the passing people, they need to focus on the shoulders of Chechens to see if there are traces left by shooting. Thousands of ordinary Chechens were killed or injured in this war.
Although the Russian army was finally driven away successfully, the price was too high. However, it is worthwhile to maintain its independent status. In the face of the powerful Chechen army, no one thought that Russia at that time had the ability to completely conquer the former. Times make heroes, and then a hero Putin appeared in Russia, which directly ruined Chechens' dream of founding a country.
Hundreds of thousands of troops launched the second war against Chechnya under the leadership of Putin. In the face of Chechen armed forces, the situation of being surrounded and beaten for the first time was completely changed. The Russian army has made careful preparations and the cooperation between the various services is also in place. Tanks are mainly used to stop the enemy, and infantry is responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the enemy. Relatively speaking, Chechen gangsters have become the targets of beatings this time. Russian tanks have been used correctly and successfully in combat.
When motorized troops attacked, tanks provided fire support and played a decisive role. After the tank fire destroyed the exposed firepower points of the enemy, the infantry advanced and successfully completed the battle. For example, during the liberation of the town of Goisco Ye, about 400 well-equipped Chechen militants fought hard. Therefore, the Russian army sent a tank company of a Mobu regiment in the Ural Military Region to solve the problem.
Putin's order to the Russian army is never to retreat, but to completely win Chechnya. This firm attitude and command has injected incomparable strength into all Russian troops. Just then, the Soviet army who killed the red eye on the front line in Berlin came back.
Finally, Chechnya was conquered. Until today, Chechnya has never dared to make a difference under Putin's nose. Putin solved the Chechen problem by military and political means, and the best way to conquer a nation may be to deal with a man as he deals with you. Putin fostered and supported little Kadyrov to become the leader of Chechnya, as long as he can balance Chechnya and ensure that Chechnya will no longer be in turmoil, which is what the Russian Federation most wants to see.
Putin first supported the Kadyrov family. After the death of Kadyrov, the father of pro-Russian former Chechen President Kadyrov Jr., Kadyrov Jr. took over as the governor of Chechnya. All political, economic and social affairs here are decided by little Kadyrov, which is equivalent to our time in Chechnya. Little Kadyrov himself is full of admiration for Putin. He often said that he was a soldier under Putin's command, and he rushed wherever Putin pointed.
Putin gave little Kadyrov treatment beyond the law in exchange for his personal loyalty and effective control over Chechnya. When the strongman met the tough nation, the strongman successfully defeated the tough nation, and Putin conquered the Chechen nation. We can't predict what will happen in a few years, but at present Chechnya is very obedient.
