 Under Soviet Union (1944) , Chechens together with several other peoples of the Caucasus were ordered by the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin to be deported in mass.
Stalin expelled the Chechens to Siberia and Kazakhstan on suspicion of
collaboration with Nazi Germany
 At least one-quarter and perhaps half of the entire Chechen population perished in the process and a severe blow was made to their culture and historical records.
 The Chechens were allowed to return to their land after 1956 during de- Stalinization under Nikita Khrushchev
 However, the Republic was restored but both boundaries and ethnic composition of the territory significantly changed.
 The territory was divided and many predominantly Russian migrants from other parts of the Soviet Union, settled in the abandoned family homes of Cheche

This is the reason why Chechnya people make attempts to regain independence

• Though "rehabilitated" in 1956 allowed the Chechens to return,

the survivors lost economic resources and civil rights and, under both Soviet and post-Soviet governments, they have been the objects of discrimination.

ASSIMILATION POLICY

Russiafication is a form of cultural assimilation process during which non-Russian communities give up their culture and language in favor of the Russian one.
The Russification policies towards Chechens continued after 1956. The major areas of Russification are politics and culture
In politics, Russiafiction is assigning Russian nationals to leading administrative positions in national institutions.
In culture, Russification is to domination of the Russian language in official business (administrative language ) and strong influence of the Russian language on national idioms.
Analytically, it is helpful to distinguish Russification, as a process of changing one's ethnic self-label or identity from a non-Russian to Russian.
This makes the Chechnya people to loss their culture and ethnic background.
