Chechnya was an independent state after Boris Yeltsin allowed it to separate. They had a President, and some sort of a government. However the government quickly unraveled; the country became a large safe house for criminals. One day a large, organized Chechen army crossed the border and invaded Dagestan (a province of Russia.) The rest is history. Today Chechnya, as part of Russia, has a stable government. It may become independent again, at some future time, on condition that it behaves as it is proper for a country. But this is not going to happen tomorrow because Russia invests a lot of money into Chechnya; independence is simply not profitable today.
When will Konigsberg be returned to Germany?
As soon as Germany brings back to life everyone who they killed in the World War II? Actions have consequences; otherwise the next generation would be eager to repeat mistakes of the previous one. Note also that the South of East Prussia went to Poland, and is now a part of Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. I am unsure how receptive Poland would be to the idea of returning that land to Germany (consider the linked map.)
So when does Chechnya get self determination?

I am well aware of the Chechen war. There are nearly 200 nationalities in Russia. Apparently you haven’t noticed that none of them other than Russians get self determination.
Putin is doing what my 5 year old does. He says what’s mine is mine and what’s yours in mine. You object to what the Chechens did but have no problem with Putin’s terrorist assault on Ukraine. FRiend, there is some serious cognitive dissonance going on in your Russophile positions.
Communists murdered over 100 million people in the last century. If Germany is responsible for Nazis then Russia is equally guilty of those murders. Also, the USSR directly supported the Nazi war machine during Molotov-Ribbentrop. Mother Russia has the blood of millions on its hands if you want to play that historical game.
Ignore facts that do not support your pro Russian day dreams if you want. Nobody who knows their history is buying what you are selling.
