Refugees; a term of fears, tensions, worries, crisis, fairy tales, stereotypes, and lots of fearful things. But if we observe the background history of refugees, a rich and wealthy history drifted in front of us. Chechen refugees are one of them. Right now, Chechnya is Russian federal territory and located in the eastern part of northern Caucasus region. If there would be a statistic of deportation from the homeland; Chechnya might be got the first rank over the world. They have exiled several times and replaced again and again exiled. This study will analyse Chechen refugees’ situation from a historical background to the present time with references. After a momentary description this study focuses on Chechens failed state formation process followed by the recent scattered situation of Chechens in different countries and finally discusses a recommendation on them.
