LeonardoCornejo: Putin was right by refusing to adapt Russia for minorities.
You are wrong here.
Russia is a house for almost 200 nationalities with different beliefs.
With slavic group being predominant major, it's safe to say that more than 170 of them are minorities.
Muslim part is pretty big - we still have a shard of Chengiz Han empire integrated into country, they are 5-7% of population.
Thing is, Russians know how to deal with minorities for mutual benefits, unlike Europeans. This comes from different historical paths:
When we came to Siberia, to survive there we needed to trade and learn traditions, healing herbs, equipment...
When we came to praires, to survive there we needed to trade and learn traditions, healing herbs, equipment...
Same with mountains, seas, swamps...
Evolution of Europe, being in more or less the same temperature belt, resulted in people coming to new territories with the same animals, herbs, trees, temperatures... To survive europeans needed better weapon, than local population had, and that's all.
As a result, if you read about Russian history, you wouldn't be able to find big problems over religion or nationality. (some did happen, humans are humans, xenophobic by nature)
This tolerance was further improved by communists, which worked on creation of "soviet nation". Like, I know that my heritage consists of Polish blood, Ukrainian blood, Belorussian blood, Russian... Overall, I don't care about proportions. I grew up in Siberia, settled with minorities.
I learned their sacred places, I had book of their fairy tales for kids (you know, which teach kids important stuff, like when you need to cut your leg to feed family, not villy-nilly Disney stuff) , they, on the other hand, enjoyed electricity, hot water, satellite maps and many other things civilization gives.
