the russian imperialism is depicted in the images below. back in the 1900s the russian empire had gone through an time of harsh suppression. For about 150-200 years the Russians delivered a state of aggression and suppression on the Caucasus region when the tsarist imperialism was taken over by the communist imperialism in 1918. During this time they were subjected to stratagem of deliberate physical and also cultural genocide. (George irbe)

This is Payin and Popov’s story from the Russians perspective: they state that the congress of the “mountain people” that convened in the trans-caucasus in January 1921(chaired by stalin, the peoples commissar of nationalities at the time)declared the formation of the mountainous soviet republic of the Russian soviet federated socialist republic (RSFSR). Over the ensuing three years, Chechnya, Ingushetia, and a number of other autonomous oblasts of the northern Caucasus became independent. A brief period of relative tranquility was cut short by the mass political repression of the collectivization campaign during the 1920s and early 1930s. this sparked a new wave of anti-soviet uprisings in Chechnya that continued for the next ten years, gradually taking on the character of guerrilla warfare.(George Irbe)
