Checkpoints in Chechnya and the territory's borders are pretty porous, and guerrillas appear to be able to move around. The hardest thing to be right now is an ordinary Chechen without work or shelter. If you're a guerrilla fighter, chances are you're a lot better fed, clothed and funded than your civilian counterpart. And you're probably a lot more confident about the future...
