Exactly. Russia has a lot of Muslims in their Central Asian part.

Putin so far has been lucky that for the most part he’s bought their loyalty, especially in Chechnya, but that can change very quickly.

I would say Putin reaction to the fall of Afghanistan must be bittersweet.
Sweet, because I am sure he enjoys the humiliations of the USA. He is not our friend and he likes to undermine the US. He must be enjoying what he sees now from that point of view.
But, I am also sure, he does not want Taliban to take over the Afghanistan. The radical Islamists will spread to the central Asia, to the Russian client states and to Russia itself.
For the same reason, I suspect China government has the same bittersweet feelings.

Oh guy where you get such a dupe))..

You are mistaking thinking that Russia is afraid of Muslims. Nothing farther of truth.
We lives with them in one country for centuries now. We know them personally. We work together, we eat and drink on one table. Sometime we marry their daughters or sisters or vice versa. They are an integral part of Russia. We are same but maybe pray differently. Sometimes they come to pray in our churches and we come to their mosks. If you know how to behave correctly, it is no problem.
If you know the Muslim fighters from Dagestan and whole Caucausus and Kazahstan were fighting hitlerites from Hitler’s Eurounion near Moscow in 1941 and killed a huge lot of those Europeans there who were actually Christians. Those Christians were mortal enemies for us much bigger proportion than any Muslims will ever be.
So for us our Muslims are us and for them we are them. They love Russia and will defend her as their ancestors did.
They are all moderate Muslims. But those who creates trouble are called wahhabits or islamists. In Russia they are considered a extremists and forbidden and belonging to these groups is a felony. Those islamists hate our Muslims more then even us orthodox Christians. Because we are just infidels but they are munafiqs the false muslims. Us islamists can tolerate but moderate Muslims they not.
So in between of FSB anti-terrorist teams which fight those islamists there is a lot of our Muslims. They kill islamists with vengeance.
And Putin didn’t buy their loyalty because they were loyal to Russia in first place. And they never want the islamic Khalifate to win.
For your understanding our Russian Muslims are like those who want to leave Afghanistan these days and gathering in Kabul airport. But islamists are Taliban.
But in Russia they like changed places: it is islamists who want to leave Russia not vice versa like we see in Kabul.
