Could it be possible for a country consisting of Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia to gain independence from Russia post 1900 and stay united to 2019?

Now, a lot of you might say it would fall apart beause of linguistic differences and mountainous geography. To which I say, look at Switzerland. Many languages, very mountainous. Yet it had a strong sense of united national identity, and it is a very well functioning country over all. Granted, Dagestan alone has more languages than Switzerland, but I still think something can be worked out.
