89 I include ideology as a separate level of analysis for the sake of organization and clarity. Ideology plays a role in all the other levels of analysis. The international level of analysis is mainly influenced by the Neo-Eurasianist strategic culture of the Russian Federation. The domestic level of analysis is influenced by ideology through the Russian government’s strategic framing of the war in terms of a fight against terrorism when attempting to enlist public support. Finally, the individual level of analysis is penetrated by ideology, because Putin was a more ardent Neo-Eurasianist than his predecessor to the prime ministership, who was sacked in favor of Putin.

94 Although this could be seen as a strategic framing of the conflict, as opposed to an ideological framing of the conflict, Skocpol’s definition specifically posits that ideologies, ‘are developed and deployed by particular groups or alliances engaged in temporally specific political conflicts or attempts to justify the use of state power’ (Skocpol 91); thus, the deployment of a new rationale (anti-terrorism) to justify the use of state power in Chechnya during a specific temporal period can be soundly classified as ideological within the theoretical framework of this paper.
