The decisive point is who is in control. Putin is happy with multiculturalism of current Belarus and Chechnya, and of the Ukraine with Yanukovych.

How is Belarus multicultural?

Chechnya and the other Caucasian republics are miniscule, and Putin and the Putin-sanctioned dictators there don't care about culture.

What I mean is that in Putin's view the culture of Russia can coexist with the culture of Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia etc. as long as he is in control.
