Since there was a referendum in Chechnya (at the end of the USSR) that voted overwhelmingly to stay in the Russian Federation the Russians were pissed off with the muslim extremists who wanted an independent muslim state regardless of the result.
Yeltsin behaved very badly with his response but the Putin government has pored a lot of money into to Chechnya an most if not all of the war damage has been rebuilt.
By the way don’t forget the massacre of school children in Beslan North Ossetia by Chechen muslim extremists.
