Political transitions often create new law enforcement challenges. This Brief provides an examination ofsuch special law enforcement challenges in the Northern Caucasas, both due to the unique structure of the crime groups that are active in the region, and to the unique social and political environment in which they operate. In 2002, Russian President Vladamir Putin declared the end of
the war in Chechnya. In 2006, he announced the insurgency was
defeated. Yet today, Russia maintains a significant Internal Police
presence in the Northern Caucasus to contain approximately 700
insurgents at a cost estimated to be more than the equivalent of $1
billion per year. Russian law enforcement, armed forces, and their
local proxies are fighting irregular forces that operate in a
manner akin to organized crime groups or terrorist cells. These
groups have formed flexible networks which can sustain heavy
losses, including the "decapitation" of their leaders, only to
reconstitute themselves ready to fight another day.
