It is more complicated than that...Russia tried to concur Chechnia for many years....Stalin killed 250,000 Chechnians and emptied Chechnia....Chechnia was never really a proper Russia, certainly not a cratle of Russian civilization, like Kosovo is for Serbs...there is no Russians in Chechnia...
Similarity is that Chechnia (primarily because of Daghestan is the only way for Caspian Oil to be transported via Russia...Russia would never give this oil rights up....Thus the only way they can contain Chechens is by superbrutal destruction...We shall see how long West would be able to give this vicious campaign a blind eye..this is the real test for supreme hypocrisy that West so vividly demonstrated in Kosovo...Watch for Oil to go over $28/barrel
as Russia get more and more bogged down in Chechen quigmire....with severe Oil shortages in Russia proper...and cut-down in exports/exploration
