“One can deal with the revival of culture and language even after gaining independence, but now the struggle for freedom is more important, and all forces and resources should be used only for the struggle,” say some of the representatives of the national liberation movements.

Here is an ordinary Christmas tree toy – a soldier of the Red Army (like a Budynovets, which is a fighter of the First Cavalry Army, which during the Civil War of 1918-1920 was commanded by Semyon Budyonnyy).
