Checnya is destined to be or under Putinism or Wahhabism.

Are there any other Chechen leaders who could hold everything together?
Let me rephrase your question. What are perspectives of development of Chechen nation ?
Can it become western oriented nation with democratic institutes ?
The answer, unfortunately, at present - no. (May be in some distant future there will be another answer, idk)
Checnya is destined to be or under Putinism or Wahhabism.
What is Putinism ? - Putinism is a modern version of Russian Imperialism.
What is Wahhabism ? - Wahhabism is a modern version of militant barbaric islam of 7-th century.
And unfortunately Chechnya is not ready for a modern version of western development.
while chechnya is under some sort of autonomy and privileges it should fully understand at what point these local privileges end.
You say that Chechnya is doomed to fall to Wahhabi Ideology?
Chehcnya is progressing just fine without western influence .

I didn't said that. But in the long run I think that any state run solely on Wahhabist principles is destined to confrontation with Western society. My hope is that West will win, but there is also a possibility that like previous Roman Empire The West will crumble under barbaric invasion and experience a thousand year of setback.

They are doing it with Russia's help, but with these new calling for the shooting of foreign agents including Russian how long can they survive like that without the help from the Kremlin?

Hmm, let's remember what origin is Tsarnaev brothers ?
But, I'm not speaking about near future, I was using a very long microscope or telescope if you wish. Looking into this whole picture from the perspectives of thousands of years. Yes. I feel that modern West is still in some way continuation of Greco-Roman civilization and Wahhabism and actually any Islam is not. I choose civilization, you are free to choose outdated Tribalism under the guise of Monoteism, but don't say no one has warned you.

We are talking about different things. You are equating Western ideology with modern American Imperialism I'm talking about much broader context.
The difference is that it is not so important whether Tsarnaev brothers were directly guided by some specific Chechen terrorist faction or it was a lone wolfs actions. What is important that normal western people considering such acts as barbaric indiscriminate vandalism and they need to understand what is the source of such ideologies.

After Putin (post year 2000) if anyother person who has done Russia much good is Gaspadin Ramzan Kadyrov.
Russia needs him around for next few decades as he is a strong leader with focus on economic growth and progress of people. Way to go Ramzan! Spasiba Bolshoi Tavarisch!!

The bombings occurred before the mess in Ukraine started so what would be the purpose?
