"And I suppose the Chechens' hatred of the Russians has its roots in capitalism?"
Well, could be that, or it could be three hundred years of repression, genocide and ethnic cleansing. That's just a stab in the dark, though. BTW - there's no big hatred of individual Russians by Chechens, just the state. In fact, the last people left in Grozny and the ones protected and helped out by Chechen civilians were Russian grannies.
So don't go around trying to paint them as some sort of savage race with an "eternal hatred" complex.
