Government and military control in the internal armed conflicts in the North Caucasus (the end of the XX century - beginning of the XXI century)
The authors, covering the state and military control before and during the armed conflicts of recent decades in the North Caucasus, attempt to identify the ways to ensure its effectiveness in conditions that may require using military force to repulse the internal threats to Russian national security. In the first of two articles they reveal the reasons which in 1994-1996, in their opinion, didnt allow in the Chechen Republic to reach the goals set by the government.
