Because they want to be their own independent republic, separate from Russia. Free to make their own decisions
There is no easy answer to this question as it involves complex political and historical factors. Some argue that Chechnya should be granted independence in order to respect the right to self-determination and address historical grievances. Others argue that maintaining territorial integrity is important for stability and that negotiating a fair and meaningful autonomy for Chechnya within the existing framework is more feasible. Ultimately, any decision should prioritize the safety and well-being of the people living in the region.
The Chechnya!
Chechnya was a part of the Soviet Union as an autonomous region within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Chechnya declared independence and went through two devastating wars with Russia before being reintegrated as a subject of the Russian Federation.
It was never granted, the US fought for it (and succeeded).
No one "granted' independence to the colonies. They declared it, and fought for it. It was taken by force. That was the whole driver behind the Revolutionary war.
The Declaration of Independence
Chechnya is not independent. It is part of Russia.
The Chechnya!
independence was granted in 1960. self-government was granted to different regions of the country at different times before 1960(it should not be confused for independence)
Chechnya
Many, but the most prevalent are the Chechens from Chechnya.
This requires a fairly long explanation. But, here are the highlights: After Boris Yeltsin allowed the collapse of the Soviet Union the Soviet Republics declared their independence. But, Chechnya was not considered a Soviet Republic. Rather it was a part of the Russian Federation of republics. But, they hated Russia and declared their independence too. Yeltsin feared the secession of Chechnya would prompt a me-too of independence movements within the vast Russian Federation. In addition he hoped to recover Chechnya's valuable oil resources.
Cuba was granted independence from Spain in the year 1898.
In 1962, France granted independence to Algeria.
Chechnya is one place. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Chechnya has tried for independence from Russia even after much violence.
The primary goal of Chechnya's revolutionary group is to gain independence for the Russian Federation.
Chechnya briefly gained a de facto independence from Russia between 1991 and 1999, although it was never formally recognized by the world powers. Following two wars in 1994-1995 and 1999-2000, it is now back as part of the Russian Federation.
Chechnya won virtual independence from Russia in 1996 after a two-year war and declared the region an Islamic republic.
