And this is why a lot of peoples did not, in fact, fight a war of independence against Russia.
And the Chechens, for instance, wanted independence because they were subjected to a genocide by the USSR when it was ruled by a Georgian, so this is hardly a usual case for the ethnic minorities, since most of them were not genocided.
Then they wouldn’t fight a war for independence would they?
Precisely.

The main reason the rest don’t fight is because they were already too badly genocided.
