The place of North Caucasus in Russia and disputes concerning new identification

Acts of terrorism in Moscow subway and in Caucasus gave nationalists and liberals one more chance to talk about impossibility of maintaining of territorial integrity of the Russian Federation. Disputes concerning future of Russia and its integrity appear not only here, but also abroad. The main idea of separatists is that Russia can not keep peace in Caucasus, Russia does not need Caucasus, and Russia is either to turn into nation state, or to undergo all the stages of deconstruction in order to fully enter the family of European nations. Whether nationalism can stop terrorism? Whether Russians and peoples of North Caucasus become friends after a possible fragmentation of the state?
