I haven't run into too many Russians or Russian sympathizers on this board. Mostly, the Russians get ripped whenever they come up.
Marco Benoit is another. Infidel had a recent post welcoming the US to the Russian point of view. They aren't necessarily Russian sympathizers, but intense haters of Muslims. It isn't focused on just Chechens, but that is a particular fetish for them. They want to show that Iraq is the front on the war on terror (the war on Muslims, in their minds). Therefore, if the whole Muslim world is massing in Iraq to kill Americans, that is, ironically, a positive development to them as it validates their world view.
