I presume that the standard Russian argument today would be that it is pointless to argue the rights & the wrongs of the conquest of the North Caucasus, just as it would be pointless to argue the rights and the wrongs of the American expropriation of Indian lands. In short, their position would probably be that it's now "ours," and we aren't going to give it back. >>>>

That is not a pointless argument, Russians constitute 75% of Kazachstan...yet it gained independance.....there are very few Russians in North Caucauses....so the argument is not as valid as american Indians example...

ps. Ivan Kalita was in charge of "oprichnics" (prototype of security/KGB <gg> created by Ivan Grozny (Ivan the Terrible )(Grozny=Terrible) in Russian, capital of Chechnya
