Synopsis
This work examines the complex dynamics of Russia’s relations with the Caucasus. Beginning in 2000, Putin’s Chechenization strategy had unforeseen and controversial results for the entire Russian Federation. These are elucidated in case studies of the Stavropol region, the Sochi Olympics, the Pussy Riot conviction, and Russia’s efforts to reintegrate religion with politics against the backdrop of an emerging Islamic “inner abroad.” Neither Russia nor the Caucasus can be understood without an appreciation of their uneasy interconnection and its explosive consequences.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This groundbreaking work examines the complex dynamics of Russias relations with the Caucasus, revealing the profound effects that Caucasian forces have had upon Russias development.Essays show how Georgian sparks ignited conflagrations in South Ossetia (1991-1992) and Abkhazia (1992-1993), spreading northward to conflicts in Ossetia and Ingushetia (1992) and Chechnya (1994-1996). Combined with jihadist influences that entered from the South and East by way of Dagestan, these events culminated in the second Russo-Chechen war (1999-2009). Chechnya transformed both the Russian military and the presidency of Vladimir Putin. Beginning in 2000, Putins Chechenization strategy had unforeseen and controversial results for the entire Russian Federation. These ironies are elucidated in case studies of the Stavropol region, the Sochi Olympics, the Pussy Riot conviction, and Russias efforts to reintegrate religion with politics against the backdrop of an emerging Islamic inner abroad. Neither Russia nor the Caucasus can be understood without an appreciation of their uneasy interconnection and its explosive consequences. Contributed by leading experts, this unique study looks at the impact of the Caucasus on the development of the Russian Federation and its influence on the evolution of Russia's federal relations. Essays first examine the effect of the two Chechen wars on the evolution of Russia's political system, from Georgia's involvement in the Caucasian wars to the arrival of Jihad in the North Caucasus. They also explore the ensuing expansion of the Kremlin's -and Putin's - power and Russia's policies towards Islam in the region. The security, political, and environmental challenges posed by the Olympic Games in Sochi are discussed as this project, strongly supported by Putin, has caused indigenous population to unite in protest and outrage. The book concludes by looking at how Russia's recentralization has brought on regional problems of political corruption and Islamist extremism that in turn contribute to authoritarian trends in Russian federalism. This groundbreaking work highlights the complex dynamics between the Caucasus and the Federation, demonstrating how Russian politics have been profoundly affected by developments in the North Caucasus since 1980.
