Summary/Abstract: The wahabit terrorism appeared as a hazardous expedient of the Chechen people to resist the pressures of Russia. For them, it’s all about a necessary struggle for survival against a powerful aggressor that lasts for ages. From the Russian perspective, the territory from the Northern Caucasus represents a strategic interest and a matter of international image. The conflict augmented because of the inflexibility on both sides. In this case, the building site of a nation is in process right before the eyes of historians.
