What makes being anti-Putin in Chechnya more dangerous?

Thanks!

I thought a plaid originally meant a garment that wraps around someone (like a kilt), whereas a tartan is the pattern of crisscrossing colours created on the loom. Since Scottish plaids (garments) historically were in tartan colours, the words have become somewhat interchangeable in America, where 'plaid' now refers to the tartan colours.

Although Putin is corrupt and oppressive, do you think he also benefits Russia in some ways against American/Western threats?
