Popis: The current Russian political leadership refuses to acknowledge that the insurgency’s political aims could have any degree of legitimacy. As a result, there are few practical constraints on its conduct. Moscow regards the Northern Caucasus as an integral part of the country and it fears that a dangerous precedent would be established if it were to allow Chechnya (and perhaps some nearby political subjects with a small ethnic Russian population) to leave the Federation (e.g., Dagestan).
