The New York Times > International > Europe > The President: Putin Says Russia Faces Full 'War' to Divide Nation: "Although he made a broad appeal for national unity in the face of terror, he did not mention the war in Chechnya, a struggle linked to all of the attacks that have roiled the country. That suggested that he would not consider changing the Kremlin's strategy there, despite years of war and atrocities that have left the Chechen people embittered and the republic ruined."
