ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the strategy of reconstruction and development adopted by the Chechen government after 2007 and its correlation with the overall strategy for the development of the North Caucasus Federal District (SKFO). It analyzes the tensions that arise over budget allocation and the disagreements over special financing that would allow Chechnya to overcome the traces of the war. The chapter focuses on the logic that prevails behind the decisions of Russian authorities, between political considerations and an evaluation of the efficiency of budgetary spending in Chechnya. The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has assessed the leadership of the Chechen Republic as first rate, using a special methodology which includes 45 points of assessment: Chechnya scored top among the regions assessed. The second place in the Ministry of Finance's ranking, after Chechnya, was given to the Orenburg region, and in third place came the Bryansk region.
