Chechnya
There is often an interesting essay in any particular issue of New Left Review. The issue dated November-December 2004 is no exception for it carries Tony Wood's fascinating in-depth history of Chechnya, which I found very helpful in understanding the current situation. Go here for "The Case for Chechnya".
I have long thought that the cause of Chechnyan independence has received short shrift in the West, not least because Putin has been able to play the "Terror" card. And, of course, the U.S. has its own bloody history of resisting secession and would even now surely find it more than a mite embarrassing to champion Chechnyan independence.
