Not saying they can do the same thing with the Middle East, but Russia's way of dealing with terrorists is complete and utter brute force. Russia will destroy your house, your village, your city, whatever it takes.
There are also something like a couple of dozen terrorist attacks on Russian soil every year. (And like everything in Russia, that's just the ones they'll publicly admit.) It hasn't really been that effective as a strategy.
