Why do Chechens fight for Russia?

Chechnya has a pro-Russian government and anti-Russian rebels fighting against it. Right Sector Ukrainians have been fighting on the rebel side in Chechnya for years (right alongside Al Qaeda), so my guess is these 'wild brigade' Chechens are pro-Russian and looking for some payback.

Why did ex-Wehrmacht Germans fight for the French Foreign Legion in Algeria and Vietnam?

Cash money and an official pardon.
