Under [[Dzhokhar Dudayev]], [[Chechnya]] declared independence as the [[Chechen Republic of Ichkeria]], using self-determination, Russia's history of bad treatment of [[Chechens]], and a history of independence before invasion by Russia as main motives. Russia has restored control over Chechnya, but the separatist government functions still in exile, though it has been split into two entities: the [[Akhmed Zakayev]]-run secular Chechen Republic (based in Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States), and the Islamic [[Caucasus Emirate]].
