“you can have your lovely civil war”
For now your beloved neo-soviet shirtless “Christian” garbage is busy triggering off a civil war, which likely is going to end up with Balkan style disaster.
Your spinning that Russia is some kind of Christian empire fighting with Islam may have effect only on clueless imbeciles. Islam is one of Russia's state religions, they are in bed with Iran, Chechens and several others, they sent Chechen islamists against Georgians and likely have them already operating in Ukraine.

This trap is complicating efforts to coordinate Western and Russian policy on the revolutionary situation in the Muslim world in addition to the related global jihadi revolutionary alliance...
