Chechen separatists
Chechen separatists are individuals and groups in Chechnya, a region in the North Caucasus, who seek independence from Russia. Historically, Chechnya experienced conflicts and wars as they fought to establish their own nation or greater autonomy. Their aim is to preserve Chechen culture, identity, and political self-determination. Russia considers these groups militant insurgents, viewing their activities as terrorism, while separatists see themselves as fighting for self-rule. The conflict has led to significant violence and humanitarian issues, and the situation remains complex, involving issues of nationalism, security, and regional stability.
