    If I’m to guess based off your username, you probably have a lot better understanding of the Caucasus than I do. Thank you for your views.
    Having just done a little research, I see Dagestan is high majority Muslim too, I can see that also adding some stress between them and the Orthodoxy common in the rest of Russia/it’s government. And give separatists a lever to push on.
