Chechnya include not only Chechnya, but also the neighboring republic – Ingushetia. Interesting.>>>>

Checheno-Ingushetia was an autonomous Republic in Russia in Soviet Union (as opposed to Republic such as say Georgia or Armenia...)...

Your point on Bosnia is well taken, but I was alluding to the fact that Russia has no historical claim on Chechnya land other than Czar has conquered it, and Russia has managed to keep it till now...So criteria for international recognition of land confiscation/incorporation is different
depending on who won the war and how long ago..
