Yes of course, but Putin was controlling a different sphere (a money flow) during that war. Yelstin and Berezovsky were in charge of Chechen war money.

Vlad had nothing till Yeltsin said that Putin is his successor. Before that he was just nobody in Russian politics. I don't know where you are getting your information, but I was living there in those times and I remember how exactly it happened.
