In Moscow, Tatar women have six children and Chechen and Ingush women have ten on average.

Look at the Ukraine - part of the population identified as Ukrainian, part as Russian, and it lead to a civil war. That was just nationality, this is nationality and religion and ethnicity. Is there going to be a civil war in the world's most heavly-armed nuclear state? Will they start sneaking suitcase nukes out?

As far as I know, this is how one side of the conflict explains it. The other side has a different opinion on what actually happened. Specifically, that the reason for starting the war was Russian soldiers (soldiers coming from Russia, not the local minorities) crossing the border and, well, starting the war.
