Moscow considers Basayev a terrorist for his 1995 hostage-taking raid on a southern Russian town, while Maskhadov is seen by Russia as the least of separatist evils. "Maskhadov will not press the problem of recognizing independence for Chechnya immediately so he is the best person both for Russia and Chechnya," said Alexander Iskandarian, director of a Moscow think tank...
