But with that said, any "Russian tradition" is a tricky thing - the main ones being the Soviet or the Imperial, and they're obviously totally incompatible. With the former having worked really hard on erasing the latter completely. And largely successfully. Including extermination campaigns.

There's actually a pre-Moscow Russian tradition (besides the separate Cossack tradition, that too even as it's rather their version of Russia's generally fake neo-Cossacks) still alive in Ukraine, the location of the original Rus (not the Mongol-influenced later Muscovy). It's actually Viking in origin, as a trivia. This identity is being destroyed right now, in the "de-Nazification" not unlike the de-Cossackisation of 100 years ago.

As for Chechnya, not only it isn't even Russia (there was a time when it was) but it isn't even really Chechnya anymore. It's a region and a society that have been obliterated by a total war and something new and weird was then built in this place, with the shellshocked survivors allowing themselves to be brainwashed just for the horror to stop. Many convinced themselves that some morality-free bandit who used to be a total nobody until was made a marionette king by his handlers is really their savior, literally speaking, in massive Stockholm syndrome by a broken people. His dead father is also worshipped, very Kim style. There is some "cultural revival' going on, but really it's a cynical parody, like Saddam's campaigns in the 1990. Or what they do in China nowadays long after the Cultural Revolution destroyed the real old culture and now they get a cheap plastic copy, made in a labor camp and painted red, and think it's the real thing.
