Military and strategic issues of the conflicts in Chechnya (1994-2008)

What is particularly interesting about two Chechen wars is that they provide us with a general overview of a development of Russian attitude to the combat and security. In this short article I will concentrate on the military and strategic issues of those two conflicts, and I will try to show that there were significant changes in those fields during the aforementioned wars. Russian approach to each of these two conflicts was completely different, although sometimes the army was struggling with the same problems.
