Tishkov, Valerii Aleksandrovich. Chechnya: Life in a War-Torn Society. Berkeley, CA, University of California Press, 2004. 284 p. (California series in public anthropology; 6)
Tishkov offers his professional perspective on the Chechen separatist conflict in southern Russia during the 1990s. Unlike journalistic accounts, he concentrates on the daily lives of those caught in the conflict rather than attempting to place blame. He describes a process of "demodernization," a transformation of social institutions that prevents communities from self-organizing. That disorder affects family life, religious life, myths, and self-images. This conflict is also characterized by unusual cruelty on both sides and rampant hostage-taking for ransom purposes.

Mcintosh, Scott E. Thumping the Hive : Russian Neocortical Warfare in Chechnya. Monterey, CA, Naval Postgraduate School, 2004. 92 p.
Since the 1994 Chechen war, analysts have written volumes about the evolution of -- and lessons learned from -- this ongoing conflict. Why has success eluded this Cold War superpower in subduing the small Caucasian republic? Russia has since hiccuped back and forth across the spectrum of conflict in the region and the years have provided much speculation as to why.

Wallwork, Richard D. Artillery in Urban Operations : Reflections on Experiences in Chechnya. Fort Leavenworth, KS, Army Command and General Staff College, 2004. 105 p.
Artillery operations during the two Chechen conflicts were extensive. The battles fought in Grozny provide relevant contemporary examples of large-scale urban fighting involving artillery. As the amount of urban area in the world continues to increase, so does the probability of warfare in an urban area. This thesis provides background information on the Chechen conflict, details of the two major battles for Grozny from an artillery perspective, the lessons observed during those battles, and an analysis of the lessons.

In late December of 1994, the Russian air force struck targets on the territory of what was then a de facto independent Chechnya. Now, with the fighting about to mark its tenth anniversary, none of Moscow's declared goals has been accomplished -- neither restoring constitutional order in Chechnya nor wiping out Chechen terrorists.

The article remembers Aslan Maskhadov, leader of the Chechen rebels, who died March 8th, aged 53. Maskhadov--after serving with reluctance in the Soviet forces that tried to stymie Lithuania's freedom--returned to his Caucasian homeland and soon became the leader of a bloodier independence movement whose campaign has cost many tens of thousands of lives.

Berezovsky, Boris. Putin is Wrong in Chechnya. New Perspectives Quarterly 20:77-80 2003.
Boris Berezovsky was one of Russia's renowned "oligarchs" behind Boris Yeltsin, and in 1996-97, he was also deputy of the Russian Security Council in charge of negotiations with the Chechen separatist president, Asian Maskhadov, whom Russian president Vladimir Putin has called a terrorist. In an interview, Berezovsky discusses such topics as whether Maskhadov is linked to terrorism, what the objective would be of negotiations with Maskhadov and his separatist allies, and why he is financing the defense of Ahmed Zakayev, whom the Kremlin charges was part of the Moscow theater attack.

An Empire's Fraying Edge. Economist 274:21-23 February 12, 2005.
This article focuses on the destabilization of the north Caucasus and what it means for the future of Russia. In any other European country, the carnage would have caused horror. But ten years of war in Chechnya have inured most Russians to the fates of desperadoes such as the obscure Islamist group that recently holed up in an apartment in Nalchik, the capital of the north Caucasian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria.

Assesses the role that the Russo-Chechen conflict has played in shaping European Union (EU) relations with the Russian Federation. The human rights abuse of Russia in Chechnya and the EU's response to these provide with a barometer of the EU's ability to shape and influence human rights policy in states with little or no prospect of membership. Author argues that over the last decade, the EU has sacrificed a coherent and systematic advancement of its normative agenda in favor of strengthening its relations with the Russian Federation, a key strategic partner.

Russian president Vladimir Putin's position is not one of "no negotiation" with the Chechen separatists. Putin is in contact with the Chechen diaspora and senior leaders in Moscow and knows that in the end there can only be apolitical solution to the Chechen conflict. Ultimately, the solution to the crisis is special status autonomy for Chechnya but as a part of the Russian Federation.

The article focuses on the military capabilities of the Russia Federation. It presents an operational and tactical analysis of the Second Chechen War, 1999-2002. Russian military has learned valuable lessons from the disaster of the First Chechen War in 1994-96 and is applying those lessons to its conduct of the second. While improvements have come on the tactical and operational level, one should not conclude, however, that the Russians are winning the war. The second war is proving once again that modern warfare is a messy business and that only a political solution can bring an end to a political problem.

Kramer, Mark. Guerrilla Warfare, Counterinsurgency and Terrorism in the North Caucasus: The Military Dimension of the Russian-Chechen Conflict. Europe-Asia Studies 57:209-290 March 2005.
This article assesses Russia's counter insurgency operations during the latest war in Chechnya and considers whether any lessons can be drawn from the Russian experience. The article begins by looking briefly at the geographical and military context of the war, the events that precipitated the renewed fighting, the early results of the conflict and the practical constraints on Russian military operations. It then examines the tactics used by Chechen guerrillas and the responses by Russian soldiers and security forces. The article considers why Russian troops and police, who outnumber the rebels by more than 50 to 1, have been unable to eliminate armed resistance in an area as small as Chechnya. It also highlights the growing emphasis the Chechens have placed on terrorist attacks against civilians both inside and outside the North Caucasus.

Kramer, Mark. The Perils of Counterinsurgency: Russia's War With Chechnya. International Security 25:5-63 Winter 2004.
Although the Russian government has insisted that it will treat Chechnya as a "rebellious province" akin to Indonesia's Aceh or Kashmir (in India), the prolonged bloodshed in Eritrea and elsewhere provides a sobering reminder that insurgents can continue fighting for decades, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties.

The article presents information on the political integrity of Russia and the policy adopted by different political parties. One of the most severe problems Russia has faced since the collapse of the Soviet Union has been relations with Chechnya. The problem, as seen from the Russian side, is the separatism of the Chechens and, consequently, the threat posed by this to the integrity of the Federation, and as seen from the Chechen side, Russia's unwillingness to grant national self-determination to Chechnya.

The War After the War. Economist 374:53 March 26, 2005.
The article focuses on Chechnya's disappeared. Russia's grimmest north Caucasian republic is now relatively peaceful. But another peril, as terrifying and in a way more insidious, has replaced the threat of bombing. Credible estimates suggest that thousands of people have "disappeared" in Chechnya since 1999, often to face torture and summary execution.
