Oppression of LGBTQ+ community in the Republic of Chechen

Susmita Paul

The Chechen Republic is a constituent republic of Russia, located in Eastern Europe within the Northern Caucasus, near the Caspian Sea. During the First Chechen War with Russia from 1994 to 1996, Chechnya was able to gain de facto independence from Russia and established itself as the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. However, in the Second Chechen War from 1999 to 2000, Russia was able to assert its hold back on Chechnya. Since then till 2017, systematic measures have been taken to rebuild and reconstruct the region.
