Chechnya tried to become an Islamic theocracy and the only country that recognized it as a state when it tried to break away was Taliban-run Afghanistan. It's weird that it made its way into these talking points, even as a "Russia bad" thing.

That was after Chechens and Ingush people were mass deported during operation lentil. If someone can provide me with a book or credible online sources as to why the NKVD thought the Chechens were collaborating with the Nazis that would great.

I was also interested in the reason for this and I checked Wikipedia, and the citations around this link back to one possible book by Svante E. Cornell: Small Nations and Great Powers: A Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict in the Caucasus. I can't guarantee the quality or that there's no reflexive anticommunism, but it seems quite long and goes into the Chechen autonomous rebel armies which were anti-Soviet during WW2.
