How about an ACTUAL, historical genocide conducted by Russia? One of the least known genocides in history is the Circassian genocide, perpetrated by Russia against the Circassian people. Have you guys ever heard of the Circassian people before? No? That's because Russia hunted them down mercilessly. Russia killed a vast unknown number of these people, up to 1.5 million in two main stages between 1763–1864. The survivors escaped to the Ottoman Empire and from there spread out in a vast diaspora. There are about 3.7 million Circassians living all across Turkey, the Middle East, and elsewhere today.
