This groundbreaking work examines the complex dynamics of Russia's
relations with the Caucasus, revealing the profound effects that
Caucasian forces have had upon Russia's development. Essays show
how Georgian sparks ignited conflagrations in South Ossetia
(1991-1992) and Abkhazia (1992-1993), spreading northward to
conflicts in Ossetia and Ingushetia (1992) and Chechnya
(1994-1996). Combined with jihadist influences that entered from
the South and East by way of Dagestan, these events culminated in
the second Russo-Chechen war (1999-2009). Chechnya transformed both
the Russian military and the presidency of Vladimir Putin.
Beginning in 2000, Putin's Chechenization strategy had unforeseen
and controversial results for the entire Russian Federation. These
ironies are elucidated in case studies of the Stavropol region, the
Sochi Olympics, the Pussy Riot conviction, and Russia's efforts to
reintegrate religion with politics against the backdrop of an
emerging Islamic "inner abroad." Neither Russia nor the Caucasus
can be understood without an appreciation of their uneasy
interconnection and its explosive consequences.
