Is not the UK harboring Zakayev? Hasn't Putin alluded to this since the London bombings? When Russia supports separatists in other nations it undermines its own tenuous claims to moral superiority.
Considering that Basayev himself fought alongside Russians in support of Abkhaz separatists, Russia should have learned a lesson about the foolishness of such a course of action and the potential for blowback.
