Jimbo, I may have exagerrated when I said it was ALWAYS part of Russia, no land was ever, always a part of another country, and most countries expand, as russia did through millitary conquest.
However, the fact remains, that if a piece of America, which also expanded, or any other country(almost all countries have expanded at one point), were to declare itself independent there would be serious consequences.
And Chechen was part of Russia for about 135 years. And russians treat chechens like shit, because chechens treat russians like shit.
