Putin has no intention of controlling them.
He will simply kill them.
Here is what happened to the mastermind of the atrocities in Beslan.

Muslims make up a very sizable portion of the population controlled by Russia. Killing them all would be reminiscent of Hitler.
You think Putin will do that? (I know he’s capable of doing so but that isn’t my question. He couldn’t get away with doing it in today’s political climate. Plenty of countries are waiting for Iran to make a stupid move and open up opportunities for emasculating Islam!)
