What a mess

And a surprise win for the only candidate with any backing, money or support. What a mess the place is in. That said, you can the the Russians point for staying in Chechnya as I don't believe Chechnya should be independent. However, when you have an army as ragged and disorganised as the Russians it seems to be civilians who are paying the real price.
