The Chechen Islamic extremist forces are deeply concerned about the centuries-old rule of Russia. The historical root of the Chechen crisis lies in the mountainous and densely forested North Caucasus of Russia, where there are dozens of ethnic groups who believe in Islam, such as Chechnya, Ingushetia, awar, Ossetia, Lezhkin, Kabardino, Darkin, Kumek and Adige. Since ancient times, these mountaineers have been like goshawks flying over the Caucasus mountains, accustomed to freedom and freedom. In particular, Chechens have been accustomed to "rushing to make a living" in history, that is, relying on raids to get the food they need from neighboring areas, rather than living under the control of others. For centuries, the Russian conquest and rule of Chechnya has deeply buried the revenge psychology of pagan Russians in the hearts of Chechen Islamic extremists. Since Islam spread in Chechnya and Ingushetia in the 16th century, Islamic extremist forces in this region have been very active, accompanied by separatist and terrorist activities.
In p>1722, during the expansion of Russia's southern expedition, it invaded Chechnya, built roads and castles there, and established Cossack villages and towns in an attempt to permanently occupy Chechnya. The Chechens, unwilling to yield to the rule of the Tsar, United with other ethnic groups in the region and launched a long-term struggle against the Russian army. Subsequently, from 1817 to 1864, after nearly half a century of "Caucasus War", Russia conquered Chechnya at a heavy cost and cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Tolstoy, a great Russian writer, sighed: "Chechens are all tough guys who are not afraid of death."
