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.
