Abstract: The Chechen issue, which remains unresolved since the break-up of the Soviet Union, is one of the most difficult problems of today's Russia. Since 1991, the Chechen conflict has passed through four phases: the "Chechen revolution" and Dzhokhar Dudaev's rule (1991-1994), the first Chechen war (1994-1996), the period of Chechenya ' s quasi-independence (1996-1999) and the second Chechen war that began in 1999 and continues until now. Despite the fact that the Kremlin has taken certain measures to put an end to the conflict in the republic, these have not produced the desired results. On the contrary, the war is growing increasingly violent.
