If Russia let go of the Caucasian states it would be a bloodbath. They're all living on each other's lands, Whatever their historical boundaries were have long been erased, and then Stalin took the liberty of moving them all around at his pleasure. The result is that everyone down there wants everyone else's lands.
Actually the cynical way to resolve the Caucasian problem would be to let them all declare independence, then sell them arms, watch them annhilate each other, then when they're done move back in and claim what's left.
"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!

Translation, Russia ****ed everything up down there and their reward for their misdoings is they get to keep the land they stole from other people, brilliant.

The man speaks truth.
Just a beat of correction - that started long before the Stalin.
Caucasus is a beautiful land, really. I love it. Nobody can resist the charm of this land and hospitality of its residents. But it's a huge melting pot of nationalities, traditions, cultures and ethnic groups. All of them have something in common, but at the same time they are all different. This is just how it was centuries ago and this is how it's now.

It's just too cynical. The Caucasus problem is not only Russia's problem. Caucasus lays long beyond the Russian borders. Look at Azerbaijan and Armenia for example. They are both independent, but if Russia quits Caucasus I can give you a 100% guaranty they will resume their struggle over the Kharabakh. And that will be a bloodbath AGAIN. Caucasus = too many people, too little lands and everyone thinks that the other's guy occupies the land which is rightfully belongs to him. It's a HUGE problem and there is no simple solution. We have tried to solve this problem for centuries, but still there. All we can do about the Cacasus is to minimize damage by implementing the same strategies we had during the last couple of centuries. That works, but that's all. It's not the solution. The entire situation looks hopeless, actully. I mean from the historical point of view. And it is very sad, because it is a beautiful land, you gotta see the nature of this place, a true paradise (yeah, I know I'm biased there, cause I really love the place).
And this land deserves more, then to be poured by blood of its inhabitants all the time. It's a story of beauty and constant pain. I can't explain this. You gotta be there to understand this. You there, you see this nature, this sky, this mountains, these valleys, this sea (if it's ashore), these EXTREMLY, indescribable FRIENDLY PEOPLE, different people, but all of them as friendly as a human being can be. And they live there like brothers regardless of their nationality and faith. It doesn't matter if the other guy is Gerogian, Armenian, Chechen, Osetian, Jew, Azerbaijani, Abkhazian or Russian or if he is Christian or Muslim. But then - BANG, you see a fresh graveyard inside the school territory which is located right twenty meters away from a two hundred years old Christian church. And you ask the locals why? Why bury your dead there near the school, if the church is just less than a minute away. And the answer is simple and deadly - there was war and we could not have cross that road, 'cause it was under fire.
This is just sick and hard to understand. A perfect land, perfect people and perfect, constant pain. Two people of different nationaly and faith can be the best friends, actually more than just best friends, more like brothers during the peace time, and then - bang. It's war. And they kill each other without any hesitation. I still can't understand this. It's so f*king sick.
Took along time for what? To my knowledge they still think controlling other peoples rights is a good thing.

Right, see what the Russians needed to do was annhilate 90% of the native peoples then move the survivors from reservation to reservation while carting their children off to special schools where they would have every last vestige of their native culture beat out of them.

It just goes to show, the U.S Cavalry got them Ruskie Cossacks beat nine ways to Sunday. They left survivors! Everyone knows, if ya gonna has a massacree ya don't leave no survivors! Take some notes Ivan. This is how it's done the progressive democratic 'Merican way. Only some back'**** Tsar lovin' Icon worshipin' Ruskie Cossack would leave survivors at a massacree! An' ya left 'um where ya found 'um or put 'um back. What wuz tha point? What wuz you all thinkin'?

Explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate.[/URL] It's what brought us all here.
Actually a patty boat brought my fathers people here, and it's the outcome of your quadruple E's that left the lions share of my mothers people stranded in Oklahoma of all places.
