Is Moscow Creating Its Own Realities In Chechnya?
Tim Bristow
January 26, 2007

The long-term consequences of the recent assassination of Chechen leader Aslan Maskhadov may be more severe for Russia than the short-term gains. While political expediency may be a priority for the Kremlin in its search for support for an increasingly unpopular military confrontation, Maskhadov's removal may present it with a number of more awkward future scenarios in the separatist region.

Most analysts have long considered Maskhadov as relatively moderate. He in fact recently tried to reach out to Russian President Vladimir Putin by declaring a unilateral ceasefire and putting forward a conditional offer of bilateral talks. Maskhadov's death has caused concern among observers that the Kremlin has cut itself off from the only realistic path toward a peaceful solution to the Chechen conflict.

It is not clear whether subsequent renewed rumors of the imminent dismissal of pro-Moscow Chechen administration head Alu Alkhanov, a move that would strengthen Kadyrov's position even further, were launched to counter those potentially damaging disclosures.
