When the Russian army could not defeat the chechen resistance,
They negotiated with a top mujahideen commander who defected to the Russian government side.
He was appointed "president" of chechnia and he immidiately declared "shareeca law" in chechnia. He shot dead four women accused of prostitution to prove his point.
some mujahideen followed him and joined the government.
almost half the mujahideen forces and the Russian army have fought and weakened the resistance.
Chechnia is still under Russia and much less fighting because of clever Russian manipulation of the mujahideen.
That is the model employed in somalia by the west.
