The problem is that's the kind of can of worms Russia would love opening. Maybe. But the problem with trying to use brutality to put down populations is that they are even more resentful than they were before. Which is why the Tatars are a wildcard in the Crimea. Here is a nightmare scenario for Putin. The Tatars start stirring up trouble. Putin starts to crack down. But then the Chechens start up. Along with some others. At some point, and I don't think it would take much, Putin gets way over-extended.
