This is kind of true, the empire simply killed a lot of them and later on displaced them a fuck ton. Kind of like the native American wars and then the trail of tears, in that order.
 
It really did tough, most of the southern Russian lands got cleansed and Slavs settled in, looke at Crimea or Novgorod.
Crimean tatars mostly just emigrated out of Crimea to the Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire didn't outright kill them. The Soviets did deport them though.
 
What's the point of invading Chechnya if they don't even integrate the people there.
Putin turned Chechens into something like Gurkhas. They have a lot of authority, but everybody inside Russia hates them, so their only way to avoid ethnic oppression and genocide(not even from Russians, but from other Caucasians) is to completely obey the central government, which guarantees them a trouble-free existence. It also helped us influence Muslims abroad, many soldiers who served in Syria and communicated with Arabs were Chechens.

Oh, and it's also worth noting that they have a certain branch of Sufism rather than traditional Islam, which is a controversial thing in Islamic world.
 
One of the most successful genocides in human history
I'm not going to outright say this didn't happen. But I still hold that it's probably far more nuanced than "big bad russia killed defenseless caucasus people for the lulz".

Circassians lived on very good land, but all they did was attack traders, rob small villages and traded slaves, often of their own ethnicity. So the majority of them were kicked out and the remained became somewhat civilized.

I think it is worth giving an example of Kazakhs in a similar situation. Kazakhs were smarter and did not wait for their end, but simply asked for protection and became vassals of the Russian Empire. As a result, they now have the largest and most civilized state in Central Asia, and they are the only Central Asian country that has not turned into a nation of migrant workers living on small salaries from construction sites.
