We can’t say Chechen’s have chosen Russia since Chechen’s can’t express their views openly without Kadyrov’s gangs killing and raping them.
Chechens and Russians have always been enemies historically and always fought one another historically.
Idk about Putin but Kadyrov is a brutal dictator and far worse then anyone else. If woman are caught wearing a niqab in Chechnya they are forced to take it off on live tv and shamed. Kadyrov kidnaps and kills his opponents. He even stoops down to such lows to rape his opponents sisters, wives and mothers and send them videos, an incident like that happened very recently. There was 2 years ago a video of a man getting forced by Kadyrov’s men to do nasty sexually harmful stuff to him self and the video is still online somewhere. Majority if not all of anti Kadyrov Chechens were forced to flee Chechnya. Many anti Russian Chechen mujahideen had to flee as well and instead ending up fighting in Syria and Iraq and Ukraine.
Also Chechens are being treated as cannon fodder by Putin rn. Their sending Chechens because Chechen casualties won’t cause the same up roar in Russia as Russian casualties would.
Putin isn’t more receptive to Muslims concerns he’s just doing what he thinks would help Russian interests. Putin supporting Assad and bombing any moving thing in Syria shows he doesn’t care about Muslims in fact no one in the world does even many Muslim countries don’t. Where European leaders are openly racist against Muslims, Putin talks sweet but kills more Muslims then majority of Europeans.
Chechens did well but unfortunately lost and the war was getting too bloody however, at least if Russia wants peace in Chechnya at least allow religious freedom in Chechnya and basic human rights. Russian state only allows “traditional” Islam, whatever that is suppose to mean. Wear a niqab in Russia you’ll be labelled a wahabi and their banned in Russia along with “political” Islam, whatever that is suppose to mean.
It seems more like Chechens being used as cannon fodder rather then servicing their own interests. A people who number just a few million in a country of around 150 million, are majority of Russian troops overseas in conflict zones. In Syria, majority Chechen’s being used. In Ukraine, Chechens being used as cannon fodder. In other places where Russia is Chechen’s being used. Russia uses Chechen’s in its wars to avoid backlash from the Russian majority public over Putin joining these useless wars. The Russian public, its a open fact, are majority racist to Chechen’s. Putin knows this so he uses them as cannon fodder.
All I want is my fellow Muslim brothers not to be oppressed, not to be treated as cannon fodder and especially not be cannon fodder for a tyrannical regime which butchered their forefathers and don’t even give them complete religious freedom.
