#1 Circassian genocide

"the final stages of the Russian invasion of Circassia in the 19th century."

Kinda sour grapes now though, eh?

"Those planned for extermination were mainly the Circassians, who are predominantly Muslims"

Oh ... that's why.

#2 The Tsars then moved 'ethnic Russians' into the area and voila, Circassia became 'Historic Russian Lands'.

#4 I think most Westerners don't know much about that part of the world. One thing I know is that, historically, Russians have had a hell of a time with their southern neighbors and especially with the Turks and Tatars.

It's easy for Americans, and apparently Ukrainians, to use words like genocide while forgetting some of their own sins. Native Americans could probably tell you a lot more about that than I can.
