Urus-Martanovsky Jamaat

[2] The organization controlled the Urus-Martanovsky District and attempted to establish an Islamic state with a Sharia form of government throughout Chechnya.[4] Formed by Ramzan Akhmadov at the end of the First Chechen War, the organisation became involved in the process of Islamisation of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, acting as an opponent of President Maskhadov's secularist policies.[2] In 1998, this confrontation turned into a military conflict that ended with the defeat of Maskhadov's supporters in the battle of Urus-Martan.[5] The Urus-Martanovsky District, which was under Ramzan Akhmadov's full control,[6] was turned into the centre of Salafism in Chechnya, where Sharia rules were applied and public executions of criminals were carried out.[7] During the Second Chechen War, the Urus-Martanovsky Jamaat took part in major battles in Argun and Shatoy before turning to guerrilla warfare.
