Chechnya, also known as the Chechen Republic, is sometimes referred to as Ichkeria, which literally means "Land of Minerals." Chechnya is a federal subject, or republic of Russia. The capital of the Republic is the city of Grozny. The population as of 2010 is reported as 1,268,989; this number is questioned by some who feel the growth of population is unrealistic after two deadly wars.
