Ingush insurgents who today became martyrs in the struggle for the freedom of their motherland

They, being a strong minority and surrounded by a dense ring, struggled like lions – the battle went on for more than a day and night in extremely unequal conditions. There were several hundred Rushists with all types of weapons and armored vehicles, while the insurgents had only small arms and grenades. The Ingush patriots knew that if they surrendered in order to win at least a few extra hours of life, the Muscovites would kill them anyway, but before that they would be tortured and used for imperial humiliating propaganda.

This is not the Russian opposition talk like, “what can we do”, “nothing depends on us”, “we are small people”, “we do not decide anything”, “not everything is so clear” and “they can put us in prison”.

This is exactly how much you need to love your people in order to be ready to sacrifice everything for the survival of your loved ones, your colleagues and friends under conditions of complete occupation of your native land, when your people are powerless and are on the verge of complete death.

Many national chats expressed grief about the death of Navalny with the Russian opposition. But the Russian opposition will not bring flowers to the graves of these martyrs, the Russian opposition will not mourn them and will not consider them heroes. The Russian opposition is entirely on the side of the empire, even if it is supposedly more liberal. This does not change anything for us. We can empathize with them, but they hardly want to empathize with the indigenous peoples. Because we are natural enemies of their imperial structure of life.
