Read MoreSuch an order was issued by the Vakhitovskiy District Court. Mikhail Shcheglov is on trial for a video where he, together with the residents of Sviyazhsk, discussed the construction of a Turkish school on the island city. Shcheglov insulted the Turks and used Nazi expressions, as prosecutors wrote, “to create a negative image of the Turks.” That is, he was not even told a word about Nazi propaganda. The Turks complained – and now the occupying authorities would pretend to take action. 12 days are worth nothing to him. This is not punishment, this is clowning. He does not even admit guilt, that is, he will continue to do so in the future.

Read MoreLeonid Lebedev, the oligarch and former senator of the occupying authorities, whose business is located in Chuvashia, wrote a letter to Volodymyr Zelenskyi asking him to lift the sanctions. As an argument, he cited the fact that he did not vote for the occupation of Crimea, and a year later he completely left the Russian Federation, but the business remained. Lebedev hopes that if Ukraine lifts the sanctions, other countries will follow suit. Although it does not work that way, his intentions are clear.
Read MoreTATPOLIT published an article by Ruslan Aisin, who reasons about the metamorphoses of the Tatar self-consciousness: from the steppe “thinking of harsh conditions, where there is no comfort, hearth and coziness” to the changeable elements that “pull into comfort” and call for soft-bodied compromises. The first path has the masculine face of authority, overcoming difficulties. The magnetic power of one’s assertion, taken as genuine, authentic. The second path is female management, total control, in which the fate of sons is always to be a mother’s son, who is in the care of a stepmother. Read – Russia!
Retelling a philosophical article is a thankless task. For my part, I can only recommend it for study. Of course, the article is not intended for the general public – a truck driver or a rural housewife cannot understand and master it. For whom, then, is it written? I think that for the Tatar intellectuals, whose task is not being, perhaps, in the very furnace of the struggle and not holding weapons in their hands, to analyze the Tatar “status quo” with the power of their knowledge and mind, to understand and determine what is the truth for the Tatars, what are the ways of gaining it. To find ways to remove obstacles in the way of the nation striving to preserve its original identity in time and space. To simply put it, the thinking part of the Tatar society should determine and suggest to the rest where the Tatars should move to. To answer the eternal existential questions of being: “What is happening? Who is guilty? What to do?”
Read MoreThe success of the Tatarstan elites in preserving and protecting the Tatar language is well reflected in the statistics of passing the Unified State Exam. This is what “After Russia” tells about.
In 2008, 385 students passed the Tatar language exam;
2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2022 |
67 | 74 | 18 | 15 | 1 student. |

Read MoreThe author of a note on the Free Idel-Ural Telegram channel reports that Udmurtia will no longer celebrate the anniversary of the Izhkar-Votkinsk uprising (also known as the Izhevsk-Votkinsk anti-Soviet rebellion in Soviet historiography).
More than a hundred years ago, the Red Terror and the misanthropic program of the Bolsheviks prompted more than 1 million people to revolt in the territory of Udmurtia and neighboring regions. The active rebel movement was one of the reasons for the emergence of the Udmurt Republic – the Bolsheviks were forced to make concessions to the population in order to reduce protest moods. And today we learn about the decision of the authorities to erase this significant event from the memory of the Udmurts. “A little later they will say that there was no uprising at all, this is all the invention of Western propaganda. And then they will even begin to imprison for any mention of this”, the author of the note writes.
Read MoreThe day that does not exist in Russia. From the Kremlin, we are told about how to decolonize other countries, but in no case should we touch the Russian Federation – after all, “everyone here lives in harmony and voluntarily.” And if it is not so, and someone does not agree, we will kill them, imprison them, break them.

She went to weave camouflage nets and collected money for his equipment, and when he was killed, she began to write rhymes.
Read MoreHélène Carrère d’Encausse was the first woman to head the Académie française in 1999, founded in the XVII century by Cardinal Richelieu.
Hélène studied the Tatars and Tatarstan, and was also one of the first to predict the imminent disintegration of the USSR: in 1978, she described this in The Ruined Empire (L’Empire éclaté), the scientific work. Hélène’s father was a Georgian composer, and her mother was from central Russia and had German roots.

It is good when people of mass culture begin to understand the need for struggle.
An idea truly captures the population when it becomes truly mass one.
Read MoreAfter Prigozhin`s rebellion, intensified purges in the Russian army continue. According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), commanders from some of the most combat-ready units and units of the Russian Armed Forces are being fired, and possibly arrested. British intelligence reports that Russian officers are seriously dissatisfied with what is happening.
A new military rebellion is brewing in the Russian Federation, the threat of which is very frightening to the Kremlin and the leadership of the Ministry of Murders. And this new rebellion, according to the bunker dictator and his henchmen, could be much more dangerous than Prigozhin’s action, since it will probably affect the combat generals of the army who are in the zone of the military actions in Ukraine. Their action against the Russian authorities will have much more serious consequences for the Kremlin.
Read MoreRussia always tries to use any such date in such a way as to spit in the face of all the victims and their descendants, ridicule its atrocities and hint that it will joyfully commit new ones.
This time is no exception: Russia 1 impudently asked the diplomats who came to honor the memory of the victims if they knew “about the shooting of civilians in Donbas.” Shooting, which Russia itself organized and continues to organize, passing off its terrorism as someone else’s, its crimes as someone else’s. Even on this day, the cities of Donbas were shelled, according to the established Russian tradition.
Read MoreNow they are actively writing only about those who died over the past year and a half, calling these figures the total losses in the war. But the total losses should be calculated for the entire time of the war. Then, just like now, not only contract soldiers, but also conscripts died.
In fact, now the grown up children are dying of those who died then. Parents themselves chose such a fate for their children – the empire is above all. An empire in which there is no place for the indigenous peoples.
