“Because the government sees only one people — Russians. Propaganda from every corner tells us “we are Russians”. <…> But we are not Russians. We are Bashkirs,” — Bashkir musician Altynai Valitov appealed to the indigenous peoples of Russia and called on everyone to come out to the protests.

  1. Ukraine should be like: “hey Bashkurs want some weapons to defend from russian nationalism (; “

  2. It’s a bummer the Moskals are going to make people like this disappear or end up in labor camps.

  3. GOOD, let the snowball effect start. Stand up for your right. I stand with Bashkir. Fk pootin!

  4. Seems like Freedome of Russia legion might be getting some new volunteers:)

  5. Yet he delivers the message in russian and he most likely doesn’t speak Bashkir (not sure what their native language is called).

  6. There is no Russia per se. There are Moskal bullies and the rest of the world.

  7. He should’ve recorded this video using the Bashkir language.

    Maybe he’s just controlled opposition or doing this for purely for business engagement/clicks/likes

  9. He says “in our own land”.

    It is still amusing to see that they think they have their own land.

  10. Putin will use you all for cannon fodder because to him and others in Moscow and St. Petersburg you are all just peasants who happen to live on mineral rich lands. They don’t appreciate your culture, they don’t appreciate your language, your art, your children. They want you to die for nothing…stand up, revolt, this is the same for indigenous peoples all over the world, not just in Russia…..if the people who govern you show no respect to you take the land that was yours back…now is your time people of ‘russia’.

  11. Finally someone is pointing out that this war in Ukraine is also a war on indigenous peoples
    Putin will literally wipe them out

  12. My best wishes and warmest heart goes out the the Bakshiri people. This dude is an excellent speaker. I can’t understand Russian, but followed every single word. May a crate of AKs and tubed munitions find their way into the hands of all ethnic minorities in Russia. Slava Ukraini. Slava Bakshiri!

  13. Mr. Valitov you are a very brave man. Genuine stand up man. I know it’s nothing but I admire you. I hope you can encourage enough people to start the change. Godspeed with you.

  14. Get it formed up men. Take it to Moscow. I wonder how many live in their areas.

  15. Hope he’s not in Russia. This video won’t go over well. But glad he’s speaking out

  16. In my opinion, Russian Federalism is fake.

    Real federalism is a social contract between ethnic groups agreeing to form a country based on shared goals and responsibilities.

    If an ethnic group subjugates other ethnic groups, it is not federalism.

  17. ⛔️National Health Warning ⛔️ Stay away from those Windows ⛔️

  19. The default condition of mankind is tribalism and generally the tribe has a controlling oligarch. These characters are gang leaders who used their serfs to make them money. Russia is like old Europe, a crime family.

  20. If anything were to happen in ruzzia, in terms of internal conflict, this would be the place. As well as a few neighboring republics.

    The west doesn’t leverage that, they see ruzzia as one mass, but these oppressed people are just waiting for their opportunity.
