Urus-Martanovsky Jamaat (Russian: Урус-Мартановский джамаат[1]) was the largest Chechen Salafist paramilitary organization formed by Ramzan Akhmadov at the end of the First Chechen War.[2] The organization controlled the Urus-Martanovsky District and attempted to establish an Islamic state with a Sharia form of government throughout Chechnya.[2] During the Second Chechen War this organisation was the strongest military force in Chechnya, which took part in major military actions against the Russian Armed Forces.[3] Most of the members of this organization were representatives of the Ghendarganoy teip.[4]
