SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Given its geographical position as a bridge between Europe and Asia, the North Caucasus plays an important role in buffering Russia from outside threats. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and the stabilization of the region, Russian President Vladimir Putin has entrusted Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov with nearly unfettered control over Chechnya. On the surface, it appears that he has achieved a state of stability. Unemployment has significantly dropped from that of the war period, the Chechen capital of Grozny has dramatically transformed from a pile of rubble to a bustling city and, most significantly, the number of politically motivated attacks have dramatically decreased.
