It’s the first ever Organized Rebellion in Europe soils since the Early 20th Century and started an Wave of Rebellion’s throughout the European continent that all where Failed, but started Changing in the government in 1990s and early 2000s.
This Event is now known as “Revolution of 1994” as it’s referred to the older Revolution of 1848 as it’s was also a failed rebellions that tries to Unite a Common people to make a Nation, but Changed the Government to passed some reform in the Nation.
But how did the Uprising of the Chechen people even happened? Why did they rebelled against the Kremlin? Even Challenges the Most Advance and Powerful Tsar Army ahead in the streets of Siege city of Grozny in the End of the 20th Century?
Well let’s go on the Pages of History and see what we can find it?
Background and History’s of the Chechen-Russian Conflict
Painting of the Famous Battle of Ganja, 1826.
Relationship with the Chechen and the Russian can go back all the way when the Catherine the Great want Russia to conquer the Caucasuses to access to trade and influence in the Middle East.
After Years of Russification of Caucasus especially when the Vozhd Kalmykov speed up the Process that Many places of CA, Siberia and specifically Caucasus where the Chechnya affected the most by this.
During the Kalmykov period, Ivan and his Government pushed an Extremes Russify and Pro- Orthodox policy across all of Russia where the many minorities like Turkic, Tatar, Azerbaijani and anyone who isn’t an Russian Slavic Orthodox Christian. This policy that is still partially affected today in the Russian Empire where Slavic minorities have the right to be free to express their Culture and to Speak their Language after Liberal reformed in the later half of the 70s and 80s.
But back to Chechnya, the policy affected Chechnya by Enforcing Russify to oppress the Chechen cultures and even some cases “Remove” some dissent who didn’t submits. Russian and other Slavic settlers to migrated into Chechnya specifically in Grozny being Promoted as “Russian City for Russian people” in there were many settled there.

This was intolerable for the Native Chechen who already resisting Russian authority for Centuries so they were Confident that they will do it again, but they were mistaken because the old saying goes about Caucasus is that “Only Caucasian can beat a Caucasian”
Chechen thought Ivan will just like the other Russian tyrant who tried to Conquer and Submitting their people but failed miserably in the process of Russify the region.
But they forgot that Ivan had one thing that Any ruler of Russia never had before and since then in the Kremlin is that Knowing what how Chechen and Other Caucasian like Ingush, Kalmyks Avars think and act for Fighting their People and know to Exploit and Destroy it.
And Ivan Kalmykov was born in Grozny and know how to break the Chechen spirit into pieces being he was Caucasian.
Chechen people didn’t know what they going themselves into when Dealing with Kalmykov regime. They thought they just going to just Revolts a bit and even Autonomy or Independent from the Russian bears on the Kremlin, but they will be very VERY VERY WRONG.
Imperial troops deported Chechen civilians to Katorga Camps during the Larger part in the “Pacification of Caucasus” 1936
Ivan used Inhumane methods to finally end the Chechen conflict’s with Russia, so he used Brutal horror methods: Massacred, Deportation, Mass Murder, Persecute and Ethnic Cleaning that affects many Chechen families to their core with Many of their family members were Killed.
Dozen Massacred, Pogrom and Deported happened on Chechen lands that were committed by Russian Okhrara and Infamous Black hundreds units to Cleansing to make way for Russian settlers
His actions on Chechnya and by distention all of Russia who aren’t Slavic land will have Massive consequences for all of Russian minorities throughout the 20th Century to come.
