Dialogue and peaceful solutions are the only way to go in this modern age, so full marks to some for waking up, and trying to build a prosperous peaceful life for their families and fellow citizens. Rejecting the NATO, US and UK continual call to arms and terrorism, rejecting the fate of being used as cannon fodder and pawns for an anti-Russian agenda. I am sure others will try to derail the process, but let's hope for the best. They started early with taking out the rights activist, when they had scent of this development. The Chechen people deserve more stability and wealth, this can only come in a peaceful stable political environment.
