“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.

Well….I personally am expecting to see separatists movements in Russia. It surprising that we don’t have them. Russia has more than 60 autonomies. Hard to control all of them.
You need resources, money, people.
If you want to take down Russia…this is the way…and my personal belief is that, this is what’s going to happen.
fortunatly that “revolt” collapsed in couple of days, because there was no support
A man of dignity and bravery. From now on I support him and the Bashkiri people in their goal of independence from oppression and Russian nationalism.
Europe’s #1 priority should be to promote instability in Russia as aggressively as possible. Misinformation, fund separatists, hybrid war, etc.
Let’s hope he’s not allergic to plutonium tea. I’d also advise him to buy an apartment at ground level, for safety reasons.
It is unfair to Ukrainians, but they are fighting today for their freedom as well as for the freedom of those minorities
Fuck nationalism fuck all forms of rightism
This man is braver than 99,9% of russians.
Stay safe, Altynai!
Anyone know how one can find the popular forums for the minorities in russia, so that we can help spread this speech there? It does not really do any good preaching to us westerners.
Just read the wikipedia article about Bashkirs. Interesting stuff! They should not bow and submit to russia, they are their own people.
good luck my friend
TIL Bashkir sounds like English sped up and played in reverse.
He discovered fascism. Dangerous and brave.
how to fall from a balcony 101. Poor guy
.. because it worked well for Chechens
Russia is the most imperialist state on Earth right now. The treatment of minorities is no exception. He says they have their language, and yet he’s speaking Russian. They force their language and culture on everyone, and then even if you rebel, you have nowhere to go. You don’t have your own, because they stole it from you.
Was curious how all these different minorities countries in Russia are and glad to see their taking a stand abt this and it’s mbby perfect timing
To be honest if in the next years Putin dies without a proper heir, his generals will probably start wars of conflict between them and creating some warlords/independent republics.

I’m Volga Tatar, my great grandfather was forcefully evicted and sent to a labour camp by soviets, all my family members carried a «ЧСИР» label as a kin punishment and were basically a low grade humans, several generations of my family were oppressed by soviets, and while we thought things would be fine after the union collapsed, we’ve never been so wrong
This whole war has been depressing meat grinder for ethnic minorities and indigenous people of Russia. They should send all the rich oligarch kids to frontlines instead.
r/Europe…where 8 out of 10 posts have to do with Ukraine or Russia…
The gulag is still alive an well. My God receive their souls after the horrors of the archipelago
