Ethnofederalism and ethnonationalism in the separatist politics of chechnya and tatarstan: sources or resources?

References

• The most explicit and comprehensive argument relating the “pacification” of Chechnya to the survival of Russia and success of its market transition was articulated by Boris Fedorov, Russia's former Minister of Finance and one of the most outspoken reformers. See Izvestia (September 13 1994). A bristling and well-argued critique of Moscow's excessive preoccupation with separatism and border redrawing was offered by prominent Russian politologists Dmitry Furman in Nezavisimaia Gazeta (July 3 1992) and Algis Prazauskas in Nezavisimaia Gazeta (May 14 1993). The former qualified the threat of Russia's disintegration as “mutual bluffing” consciously proffered by both Moscow and regional ruling elites. For a sobering assessment of the “Chechen oil factor”, see Kommersant-Daily (July 26 1994). The middle-ground position in the Russian debate was formulated by another prominent analyst, Denis Dragunsky, who advocated “dumping Caucasia like we dumped Central Asia in 1991” on the grounds of impending demographic catastrophe in these zones while compromising with the economically and territorially important Tatarstan in Moskovskie Novosti No. 26 (1994):9A.
