The History of Russian Allegations of American and British Involvement in Chechnya.

1996 
The Chechen Tragedy: Who is to Blame? is published. The book accuses the United States of using Chechnya to destabilize what was left of Russia following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The book was published around the time CIA employee Harold James Nicholson was arrested for espionage. He had passed along information about CIA plans for Chechnya to the Russians. The book also lays out the stakes in Chechnya for Russia. The Russians feared that the Chechen Insurgency would further disintegrate country. The Chechen insurgency had the potential to cut the country in half.

“A 1979 CIA report, which leaked to the press, described the Chechen-Ingush Republic as a most promising territory with regard to the efforts to destabilize the USSR.”

DATELINE: MOSCOW
MOSCOW -- Russia's political volatility is occurring against a backdrop of mounting anti-U.S. sentiment.
When Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev on Nov. 12 blamed the United States for fomenting anti-Russian rebellion in the Caucasus region, it was only the most visible sign of this mood. In a poll by the ROMIR agency last week, 41% of those surveyed said Western nations want to turn Russia into a Third World country.

2009
Ramzan Kadyrov, the President of the Chechen Republic accuses Britain and the United States of supporting Chechen terrorism. 
“The West is interested to cut off the Caucasus from Russia. The Caucasus – a strategic frontier of Russia. If they take away the Caucasus from Russia, it’s like taking away half of Russia.”
“We’re fighting in the mountains with the American and English intelligence agencies. They are fighting not against Kadyrov, not against traditional Islam, they are fighting against the sovereign Russian state,” said Ramzan Kadyrov.

Holloway’s Commentary:

The Anglo-American Ruling Class's (AARC) use of Chechnya as a wedge to destroy Russia resulted in blowback in the form of tactical nuclear bombings on Western targets and the spectacular attacks of 911. AARC thought that they had caged the Russian bear with their superior aerospace technology. This was countered with advanced micro-nuclear weapons and superior electronic jamming technology. The AARC should stop supporting the Chechen Insurgency, make amends and seek reconciliation with Russia for their actions. They are literally rolling the dice with everyone's lives by playing this game.
