INTRODUCTION
special situation created by the war to remove entire populations that had
previously been found to be problematic and whose loyalty was frequently put
to the test due to a long history of uprisings. With the deportation of the
Chechens in particular, as numerically the largest non-Russian ethnicity in the
North Caucasus region at that time (around 400,000 people in all), the
Stalinist leadership was eliminating the same element of the population that
the tsarist administration had already found to be especially unruly and
suspect. To some extent, the deportations under Stalin can be seen as an
expression of the fact that the top Soviet leadership saw their Sovietisation
project in the Muslim-populated parts of the North Caucasus, at least when
it came to the Chechens and some of the other North Caucasian peoples, as
a failure.
This book deals with the reasons for that ‘failure’. It explores the nature of
the state’s rule over the North Caucasus and its peoples, from the time of
Russia’s military conquest in the nineteenth century to Stalin’s deportations
during the Second World War. This book analyses the diverse tensions and
repeated conflicts accompanying the difficult incorporation of the non-
Russian populations into the tsarist and Soviet imperial states. It reconstructs
a past that, despite a spate of publications, generated in particular by a growing
interest in the background to the two Russo-Chechen wars in the 1990s and
2000s, has yet to be systematically analysed.
So far, the historiography on the North Caucasus has tended to focus mainly
on military and political events, particularly on the armed resistance of the
predominantly Muslim peoples to Russia’s military conquest of and rule over
the region. Few attempts have been made to look into the specific forms of
resistance, as well as modes of adaption, to the state’s policies, or the exact
motivations of the individual protagonists involved. The many and varied
societal changes that took place under Russian and later Bolshevik rule have
yet to attract close scrutiny by historians. The essential nature of the tsarist
imperial and Soviet systems as they took shape on the southern borders of the
multi-ethnic empire has to date remained largely unexplored.
Particularly widespread in the Western literature is a tendency to read
history backwards. In the light of such climactic events as the deportations
during the Second World War or Russia’s two wars against the Chechens
fighting for independence after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it is
