The All-National Congress of the Chechen People (NCChP) of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria came to power on 1 November 1991 under president Dzhokhar Dudayev, a former commander of the Soviet air force base in Tartu, Estonia.

Motorcade
A motorcade, or autocade, is a procession of vehicles. Etymology The term ''motorcade'' was coined by Lyle Abbot (in 1912 or 1913 when he was automobile editor of the ''Arizona Republican''), and is formed after '' cavalcade'', playing off of the last syllable in that word. The original suffix in ''cavalcade'' is actually " -ade", and there is no " -cade" in either French or Latin. ''-cade'' has since become a productive suffix in English, leading to the alternative names ''carcade'', ''autocade'', and even ''Hoovercade'' (after J. Edgar Hoover) as a suffix meaning "procession". Eric Partridge called the name a "monstrosity", and Lancelot Hogben considered the word to be a "counterfeit coinage". Uses of motorcades Funerals A funeral cortege is a procession of mourners, most often in a motorcade of vehicles following a hearse. Protests and demonstrations Motorcades can be used as protests and demonstrations. A large, organised, group of vehicles will travel a bus ...

The First Battle of Grozny was the Russian Army's invasion and subsequent conquest of the Chechen capital, Grozny, during the early months of the First Chechen War. The attack lasted from December 1994 to March 1995, which resulted in the military occupation of the city by the Russian Army and rallied most of the Chechen nation around the government of Dzhokhar Dudayev. The initial assault resulted in considerable Russian casualties and demoralization in the Russian forces.

The battle caused enormous destruction and casualties amongst the civilian population and saw the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the end of World War II. Tactics The Chechen fighters had the advantage as they were motivated and familiar with the terrain. As former Soviet citizens, they spoke and were educated in Russian; many served in the Soviet Armed Forces. Many (lik ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
