Especially in Germany, where the conversation about terror and Islamist extremism is part of everyday media life, well-founded works on Islamism in the northern Caucasus based on comprehensive knowledge of sources are in demand, but hardly available - the public discourse is essentially based on obvious stereotypes and unscientific generalization. The young scientist Christian Paul Osthold is trying to overcome this desideratum. Osthold presents the genesis of the Islamist-tinged separatist movements in Chechnya as a dynamic and cumulative process; Based on the initial hypothesis that Islamism, although its appearance has been prepared for by solid historical processes, is not an essential part of separatist ideology, but merely a force that catalyzes the spread of this ideology, the author describes the development of separatism and at the same time its formation Islamic and Islamist ideas in their development since the earliest times, without neglecting relevant positions in economic and cultural history.
