Tourists in Сӗнтӗрвӑрри are met by an occupier, and the Chuvash are her servants : Free Idel-Ural

Local authorities organized events on the city embankment to welcome tourists arriving by boat. However, they are not met by the conventional Mari prince Akaz or any Chuvash local elder. People-servants in national Chuvash costumes lead tourists to the “mistress” of the city – the Russian empress, showing who this land “really” belongs to. But it does not belong for long.

The pro-Kremlin media crucify themselves after every ship, never tired of telling how tourists admired RUSSIAN land. Since China is currently suzerain over vassal Russia, it is Chinese tourists that propaganda is trying to impress the most. They have captured Chuvashia, and now they are offering it to the Chinese.

For reference

The settlement was renamed in 1856 in honor of Empress Maria Alexandrovna, wife of Alexander II. Although its history as the Mari village of Shyndyr (the Mari lived there before its occupation) had by that time more than 236 years, it was important for the occupiers to leave their mark, and some local mankurts helped with this. Some of the merchants of the settlement wanted to receive the status of city residents and decided to give the future city a name in honor of the occupier, completely ignoring what Moscow and its rulers had been doing for centuries on this land, the population of which wanted freedom:

“Suddenly the moon came out from behind a cloud and illuminated a terrible sight… a gallows was floating on a raft, three bodies were hanging on the crossbar… The bright moon illuminated the disfigured faces of the unfortunate people. One of them was an old Chuvash, the other a Russian peasant, strong and healthy, about 20 years old … a black board was nailed above them, on which was written in large white letters: “Thieves and rebels” … The raft floated down the river. The gallows remained black for a long time in the darkness.”

After this, it was very hypocritical for the occupiers to place the following motto on the city’s coat of arms: “Living without offense is the dream of nations of all times.”
