For anyone who wants to become informed about the ongoing conflict in the small, but strategically crucial, republic of Chechnya, this new BBC Webpage is the place to visit. BBC correspondents provide report and analysis detailing the military situation, including a discussion of how the rebels continue to frustrate a technologically and numerically superior foe. Other stories explore the historical and regional context of the conflict as well as the effects of it upon the politics and economics of Russia. Also on-site are in-depth personal stories from the point of view of Russian soldiers and Chechen civilians, a BBC television report (about a minute and a half) on the conflict, a map of the region, and a few related links.
