A review of U.S. federal tax grants and international aid reveals that American taxpayers have spent tens of millions funding humanitarian efforts in Chechnya, Dagestan (Dzhokhar’s birthplace and the current home of his father, Anzor), and Kyrgyszstan (Tamerlan’s birthplace).

Chechnya and Dagestan are both part of the Russian Federation. At most, you can say that they are similar to American Indian Reservations. What would we think if foreign countries (such as Venezuela or North Korea) were sending money directly to these Reservations?

I read on FR that the Turkish government is doing deals with some tribes, but I’m not sure if that includes direct cash payments. ANOTHER FUBAR that needs investigation. I also remember an American AID worker who disappeared in Chechnya. The article mentions someone else who disappeared-He worked for a Soros backed charity. I don’t know how Soros is seen by Russian authorities.
