Actually the ambiguity of the term "Caucasian" has created some pretty weird Caucasian nationalist/Nazi hybrids. Chechen nationalists sometimes assert that when Hegel said that the Caucasians were the fountain of civilization he was talking about them. (They also say that traditional Chechen architecture is modeled after the spaceships the aliens who contacted the ancient Chechens flew in, and that the Prophet Muhammed was a Chechen.) Welcome to the wacky world of nationalism in the former Soviet Union.
