Re: Chechnya - Phase I then II

I've always believed that Russia wanted a pause to rethink how it would crush the Chechyens & once they had taken that breather they went in to finish the job - but slightly better organised & a little wiser about tactics.

I don't believe Russia was going to tolerate an Islamic state so close as Chechenya was a springboard for all the states around it.

Cheers

Doug
