Obviously you’re not a fortune teller, but I’m curious of where you think Tatarstan falls into this, given it’s a majority Muslim republic too.

On the other hand (1) it is some way from an international border, making successful separatism less plausible (unless, of course, the border were to somehow move closer); (2) ethnically, it is over 50% Tatar, with a Russian minority of about 40%. Assumably the Russian minority would oppose separatism, with great potential for inter-ethnic violence, genocide, partition, etc. By contrast, Chechnya is over 95% ethnic Chechen.
