they may not be specificlly targeting them for being chechens, but they are completely indiscriminate towards them. The first time they invaded Grozny 35,000 civilians died in the span of just several weeks.

That's war, there will be collateral damage, no matter how regrettable it may be. Besides, Grozny was not exactly a peaceful place, militants were numerous.
Their werent when this war began. This conflict wasnt even about militism or terrorism until the russians turned it into that. It was the Russian invasion of Grozny that began this conflict. Not terrorism.
If you kill 35,000 people (actually its a hell of a lot more then that, probably near 200,000 at this point) expect revenge attacks, its as simple as that.
When I mentioned genocide, I meant outright extermination, not just negligence on the part of the Russian military. The civilian casualties from the first two wars were just collateral damage, but I think the Russians might go all the way this time. There won't be anyone left to take revenge.
