Ever since the Boston Marathon bombers were revealed to be ethnic Chechens, a fear of reprisals has ripped through Chechen immigrant communities. Some worry about revealing their ethnicity to Americans, others fear a crack down on immigration.
It probably doesn't help that Americans in general know little about their homeland. Few appreciate its history, the nationalist movement against Russian authority, and Putin's hard stance against Chechnyan separatists. Evidently fewer can even locate Chechnya on a map.
