found: Americana annual, 1998:p. 442 (The Chechen Republic, which effectively won its internal war with Russia by virtue of the 1996 cease-fire, claimed full independence, which Russia in turn denied. Even after President Yeltsin and Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov signed a peace treaty in May 1997, each side held differing views about what the treaty meant. Russia maintained that Chechnya was part of Russia, and Chechnya maintained that it was fully independent. Nevertheless, President Yeltsin pledged that he would never again use force against Chechnya and President Maskhadov vowed to crack down on hard-line Chechens. Negotiations between both sides continued.)
