#4 chechnya is part of the Russian Republic, and Afghanistan was not even part of the USSR. Afghanistan at most represented a threat to USSR control of central Asia (or so was seen at the time) while Chechen terrorists have struck repeatedly in Moscow. Their resolve to fix the problem, one way or another, is firm, though not everyone agrees with Putins approach.
