The line between criminal and terrorist groups is often blurred,
and Chechen groups are an excellent example of this new phenomenon.
As the Soviet Union collapsed, groups began to fill the cracks
offering services that the state could not. The Chechens were one
group that outrivaled many groups, and they soon became synonymous
throughout the Russian Federation with criminal. This work looks
into the historical, social, and religious reasons behind the rise
of militant Islam in the region. From there, it will discuss the
historical difference between organized crime and terror, how the
two have coalesced into the crime-terror nexus, and how the
Chechens compare to two other groups that have gone through the
same evolution: The Sicilian mafia, and the militant Islamic
Movement of Uzbekistan, or IMU. Though neither group are exactly
the same, there are links that can help the reader understand the
domestic and foreign problems that twenty-first century
nation-states deal with throughout the world.
