Bride-kidnapping and blood feus - yes
Female circumcision - no. If one ignorant Mufti said that bullshit that doesn't mean Caucasians doing that.

So FGM is not part of Kavkaz culture? That good to hear. I think the soviets would have banned it if was true

A couple of days ago there was a case in Ingushetia when a nine-year-old girl was subjected to a genital cutting operation.

Was it common even under the USSR?

Never happened. Don't make mistake - it's not common even now. It's some freaks brainwashed by new extremist religious propaganda adopting these barbaric practices.

Majority of Muslims in Russia, like Volga Tatars and Bashkirs, culturally much closer to Orthodox Russians than to Saudis. Living in same climate and natural environment is always far more important than religion.

Sweden banned slavery in 1335 though, if anything I am skeptical of claims of slavery because enslavement of Christians was seen as sacrilegious

Bans didn't stop Venetians and Genoese from buying Christian slaves in Kaffa, largest slave market in Europe, as late as 16th century. Blond Slavic women were especially valuable on that market. Only destruction of Crimean Khanate and annexation of Crimea by Russian Empire had put an end on that practice.

Tatars have always been more Siberian and East slavic influenced and moderate mannered to me, so its obvious they don't do FGM, neither do any turkic group, whether in Central Asia or in Anatolia. But N. Caucasians seem wild to me..
