Do you know Chechnya? Take the quiz

When Chechnya made headlines in April 2013 as the ancestral land of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, the news dredged up memories of terrorist attacks in Russia orchestrated in the name of Chechen independence.

And what else do you know about this small stretch of land, long billed as a volatile backwater to Russia?

2. In what sport did the Chechen president and the Chechen sports minister compete in April?
