Hey,mass243
What do you think about Chechen?
Have you ever been there?
No I haven't been there.
And probably wouldn't go because it's still pretty unstable region... clashes between few remaining rebels and federal forces occur from time to time.
I'm not the right person to judge them but what I have understood from following the situation quite a much ; Their regional leader Ramzan Kadyrov is a pure thief.
Moscow has pumped billions after billions into that republic after the war and obviously too much of that money has gone in Kadyrov's private garage.
But Putin keeps Kadyrov in power because he is loyal to Kremlin and is big supporter of Moscow.
Ordinary Chechens are probably not different from any other people but they are hostages of the situation; there are for example virtually no jobs available there. Just "free money". That's never good.
I hope Russia's and France's common project to build ski and holiday center there manages to improve the situation.
My humble opinion.
