And yes, the Russians committed genocide in Chechnya. At some point they started regarding all Chechnyans as resistance-fighters and in some villages they just rounded up all adult males and executed them. All of them. Indiscriminately.

Is Chechnya a good place to live?
A decade ago the Russians waged all-out war there.
In the last elections Putin won narrowly, but he got more than 90% in Chechnya.
Go figure.
