Kavkaz Center ( Russian Кавказ-центр ) is a Russian-language jihadist website. According to its founder Mowladi Udugow, the former Minister of Information of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, it is a Chechen, independent, international, Islamic internet news agency .

The representative of the Chechen President Aslan Aliyevich Maskhadov , Lyoma Usmanov, publicly distanced himself from Udugov and its website. Ziyad Sabsabi, Vice Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, also criticized the Kavkaz Center as misinforming.

The terrorist Shamil Salmanovich Basayev used the Kavkaz Center to publish his deeds and new threats there. On the mirror website kavkaz.center.ru there was a letter confessing to the assassination attempt on Akhmat Abdulchamidowitsch Kadyrov or his consent to the organization of the hostage-taking of Beslan .

Russian authorities tried again and again to pull the side of various Internet service providers . Between January and April 2003, the Kavkaz Center server in Lithuania was opened and hosted by the computer company Microlink Data. The site's server was then located in Estonia , but was brought back to Lithuania after a month. After the Lithuanian State Secret Service took the site offline for spreading and promoting terrorism, a court ruled in October 2003 that the Kavkaz Center should not be closed.
