The establishment of Soviet power in Chechnya determined its development for many decades, the consequences of which we are still experiencing. The authors note that after the February Revolution, the Provisional Government showed inactivity in resolving the urgent contradictions in society. The Bolsheviks, having put forward political programs, slogans that met the interests of the vast majority of the population, not only took power in the Center, but also managed to establish it in the national outskirts of Russia. The article addresses such a little-studied issue as the situational alliance of the Bolsheviks with the local Islamic clergy in Chechnya in 1919 to fight against Denikin's army. The purpose of this article: to consider issues related to the establishment of Soviet power in Chechnya in 1917-1920. When writing the work, the works of famous scientists published both in the Soviet period and post-Soviet were involved. The article concludes that in the struggle for the establishment of Soviet power, the leaders of the Bolshevik government showed solidarity and devotion to the ideals of their party. Despite all the negative assessments of the revolutionary transformations of 1917-1920, the authors call for respect for the choice of previous generations. The accumulated experience must be studied in order to avoid repeating previous mistakes
