Russia's Republic of Chechnya has been in a constant state of war, it seems, since 1991. I don't quite get why Russia hasn't just let go, so I decided to do a little research.
I found this little nugget in the process...
Nicholas I, Czar of Russia
"The motto autocracy, orthodoxy, and nationality, expressing the principles applied to a new system of education, was also used by Nicholas in suppressing liberal thought, controlling the universities, increasing censorship, persecuting religious and national minorities, and strengthening the secret police."
Remind you of anyone?
