THE CHECHEN PEOPLE: A FIERCE RESISTANCE
Resistance is a consistent thread running through Chechnya's complicated history: against Mongol hordes, against Turkic fighters, against Russian troops.

The Chechen roots of the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects has drawn new attention to Chechen identity.

Many tweets apparently confused the two countries, which are around 1,700 miles apart
