History
The republic formed in 2007 as part of the Chechen-Soviet cooperation and treaty that began in 2003. The peace within the region began in 2004 with talks between the pro-Soviet Chechen leaders and the anti-Soviet Chechen leaders. Chechen President and Ichkerian President  both wanted an end to the regional war that has taken place in the region since the reformation of the Soviet Union. Several ideas came out of the talks, but one idea was to unify the forces of both Chechnyas into a sovereignty movement within the Soviet Union. No official statement was made by Maskhadov, but rumors began that he liked the idea.

On May 9, 2004, just a few months into the talks, Akhmad Kadyrov is assassinated in Grozny, Chechnya. The talks of a new republic began to fade away. Beginning in 2006, talks would begin again by Kadyrov's son Ramzan Kadyrov. He and Ichkerian President Dokka Umarov would reignite the talks. Umarov proposes a new idea towards a uniting the entire Caucasus region as one republic. Dagestani President Mukhu Aliyev announces support for the idea. By 2007, all the republics in the Northern Caucasus united in a common cause.

Ramzan Kadyrov (now President of Chechnya) would finalize talks with Dokka Umarov. On October 7, 2007, the six republics would declare themselves as the Caucasus Islamic Republic. In December 2007, the President Vladimir Putin declared that the CIS would be an excellent Union Republic, and would make it official. Cheers go across the region. In honor of the man to began the peace, the Chechen capital of Grozny was renamed Akhmadkala, which would become the new Caucasian capital. The former flag of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria was made the flag of the CIS.

During the War of South Ossetia in 2008, the CIS would become the launching point. On March 25, 2010, South Ossetia was reunited with North Ossetia, thereby becoming part of the CIS.
