wish someone would explain to me what the interests of Russia, occupying Chechnya are...that would help this discussion. Its an area that has been part of Russia for awhile even if unwillingly part and its not on the edge of Russia. Also Putin doesn't want to seem soft on terrorism, or to be seen as the loser of a war. However even with all that the Russians might let Chechnya walk away if they thought it would end Chechnyan terrorism, and if they thought no other parts of Russia would decide that they too wanted to leave the Russian federation, but neither of those things are entirely certain.
