The only former part of the USSR unwilling to deal with the Russian Federation was tiny Chechnya, deep in the Caucasus Mountains.
唯一不愿意和俄羅斯打交道的前蘇聯(lián)地區(qū)就是車臣，車臣位于高加索山的深處。
The Chechens had despised Russians since Alexander the first conquered the Caucasus in the early 19th century.

In 1993, Chechnya declared its complete independence, prompting the first Chechen War of 1994-1996.
1993年，車臣宣布完全獨(dú)立，引發(fā)了1994年到1996年的第一次車臣戰(zhàn)爭。

Not bad for an old drunk.
對于一個(gè)老醉漢來說還不錯(cuò)。
Yet on October 1st 1999, then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin invaded Chechnya, touching off the second Chechen War, which continues to this time.
而在1991年10月1號，當(dāng)時(shí)的總理弗拉基米爾·普京入侵車臣，引發(fā)了第二次車臣戰(zhàn)爭，這場戰(zhàn)爭一直延續(xù)至今。
I should state from the very beginning that both the Russians and the Chechens are equally guilty of terrorist action.
