Chechen Extremism

Summary Chechnya's independence struggle with Russia has been fought with media as well as armored columns and guerrilla rifles. Both sides use technologies old and new to disseminate their messages. The Russian government has a worldwide broadcasting system left over from the Soviet era, but the Chechens have been adept at contacting Western news outlets with their own much more modest shortwave broadcasting facilities. Both points of view are easy to encounter on English-language Web sites.
