Abstract
The primary reason for the Putin’s increasing popularity is the broke out of the Second Chechen War. Russia has not got a homogenous structure; she embodies 100 nations together with 16 autonomous republics and 30 autonomous regions. Such an existing number and the South Caucasia where the most Muslims lived created problems for the Moscow government. In 1991 and 1992, a war broke out in North Ossetia and Ingushetia; there happened tensions in the Daghistan and Bashkir Republic autonomous regions. In the independence referendum held in March 1992 in Tatarstan, one of the largest regions with a one million population, 61% vote in favor was pulled. The most serious one among them is Chechnya of which Russia tried to prevent the seperatist movement. The Russian-Chechen history is entirely full of wars and large scale cruelties. Collaborating with Germans in 1944 Stalin banished almost all the population into the Kazakhstan steppes. Thousands of Chechens endeavoured to survive then.
