Yes, it's more complicated. They did the same stuff for centuries. 200+ years of Russian experience show that they can be persuaded not to do so only by fire and sword.
Russian Empire put some attention on them only because they were pagan tribe robbing Russian caravans on the road to Georgia. They weren't even expected to pay taxes or have Russian authority (Imperial policy was to keep local governments)...

Propaganda, not all "human-rights lunatics" back the chechen blindly.
Some can be "human-rights lunatics" like and think lot of chechen leader are nothing but criminal.
But I think Putin is also a criminal because he kill Chechen but also because he kill Russian in a war which got no visible end.
True, propaganda

Sorry for exaggerating, but we here are quite angry at oligophrens like lord Judd, who always see Russian "crimes" and never see Chechen atrocities. For them Russians don't deserve human rights, and anyone fighting them is a hero. It's a sad pervertion in modern European moral (by saying "european" i include Rusian too).

If you mean salted (pickled) cucumbers - then I understood what you mean, they are good with vodka.
