The likely victory of a Moscow-backed candidate in Chechnya's Oct. 5 presidential elections may lead to the Russian army's complete withdrawal from the restive republic -- and increase the odds that Chechnya will secede from Russia.

 

Akhmat Kadyrov, the current head of the pro-Moscow administration in Chechnya, likely will be elected president of the breakaway republic on Oct. 5, with Russia's backing.
