Abstract: This paper presents the first systematic evaluation of the complex of economic, financial, and value exchange activity of Chechen separatist and ‘al-Qaeda’ actors along the Chechnya--Georgia border between 1999 and 2002. Based on a combination of fieldwork and documentary analysis, and encompassing data from interviews, personal observation, and documents from both open and closed sources, this study provides empirical perspectives of the financing of Chechen separatists and foreign ‘al-Qaeda’ fighters from global and national levels to its everyday realities at the level of the individual.
