The Forty times forty Orthodox movement accused the editors of Tatarstan magazine  because of the cover of the January issue. It depicts parts of two paintings by Alfred Shaimardanov. In one painting, a black cat was depicted in front of a church, and in another, a white cat was depicted in front of a mosque.

On January 29, 1918, the Battle of Kruty took place, during which several hundred Ukrainian volunteer students managed to delay the offensive of 3,000 Russian troops on Kiev for 4 days.

The delay gave time for the signing of the “Brest Peace”, through which

The Ukrainian People’s Republic was recognized as an independent state, with which even the Muscovites agreed (both on the white side and on the red side).

The Russian troops were commanded in this battle by a certain Mikhail Muravyev, who served only a year and a half for the murder of a comrade in army service. Just as it is now, the Kremlin was in dire need of recruiting a variety of convicts.

Russia is afraid of Muslim citizens of Russia. First, because they are in their own way thoughtful and disciplined people who respect Islamic spiritual authorities. And secondly, because by uniting on a religious basis against any decision of the Kremlin power, they are capable of causing Moscow very serious trouble. So on the one hand we have to flirt with Muslims, and on the other hand we have to be afraid and constantly monitor and process them in the right way.

All the Kremlin propaganda of the last decades revolved around the Second World War, namely around the so-called “World War II”, which was invented in order to “forget” the fact that the first two years of the Second World War the USSR and the Third Reich fought together as allies. The beginning of the war was “postponed” until 1941 – and the vatniks are no longer interested in the fate of several hundred thousand Soviet soldiers killed during the Soviet attack on Poland, Finland, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, as well as during the military campaign of the councils in Iran.

Svetlana Kalikova, who holds the position of Minister of Culture of the occupying government of Chuvashia, said that from 2021 to 2023 the main work of the ministry was to perpetuate the memory of workers who built the Sur and Kazan defensive lines during World War II, as well as to popularize the “Embossed Map of Russia”. Work on the map should continue throughout 2023.

I think, dear compatriots, that you are not children, and have long understood: it does not matter who, what says and promises in political matters. It matters what DOES! For politicians, any conversation, any speech, is like a game of cards. He simply picks the best card to make a profitable move, not to lose, to strengthen or at least not to lose a stable position. The stakes in such a game of politicians are the terms and conditions of his stay in power. Up to the light bulb, what says Minnikhanov, agreeing to make changes to the Constitution and renouncing the transition period! He is making a move that prolongs his political well-being in the system of Russian power structure.

The Russian occupation authorities included Rafis Kashapov, one of the co-founders of the Free Idel-Ural movement, Deputy Prime Minister of the government of Tatarstan in exile, on the lists of people who are foreign agents. This is stated in the documents of the Ministry of Justice.

Archpriest Viktor Ivanov from Ufa for 20 years headed the military-patriotic club “Alexander Nevsky” and served in the St. Panteleimon Church of Chernikovka, from where he regularly went to war against Ukraine, where he even got wounded.

“In war, God feels stronger,” said Viktor.

If you think that the stereotypical “Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov” are truly Russian family names, indicating ethnicity to the Muscovites, then you may be surprised to learn that these were often family names from the names of the noble masters that were given to the lord’s serfs, when it became necessary for the serfs to have family names. So such homegrown Nazis, from former serfs, in fact, can never know who their ancestors were in reality, and not as they thought up for themselves. It’s hard to trace your lineage when your great-great-great-grandfather’s family is traded for a sack of grain or a new dress.

On the last Saturday of this month – January 28 – the League of Free Nations organized rallies aimed at popularizing the idea of decolonization of the Russian Federation, seeking allies both among our emigrants and among foreigners.

“Come and bring your friends! Your participation is a demonstration of the position of our peoples towards Russia and the war it unleashed,” the League of Free Nations states.

In the author’s disputes with Tatars and other Muslims of the Russian Federation about the fate of national republics, some opponents with persistence worthy of better application propose pan-Turkism as a model of development. This is far from a new idea unites idealists who dream of a revival of the Great Turan, called to unite all Turkic peoples – at least Russia, and at most the entire post-Soviet space, and perhaps the whole world.

Natives of Dagestan, who were beaten in the Kalmyk colony, said that they were tortured by about 40 people, most of whom were not taken into custody, the Caucasian Knot reports, citing Aza Aliyeva, the lawyer of the prisoners.

But they are afraid to escape from the foreign war. Indeed, in the rear, either a prison is waiting for them again, or, more likely, a detachment that is definitely not afraid. The one with the sledgehammers. After all, sledgehammers are not for the enemy – they are for the same prisoners, for refusers.

The period from the “delimitation of powers agreement” to calls to “crack down on the enemies of Kremlin” (nationalists) – we have passed in a very short historical period. Minnikhanov asks the security forces to press the Tatars harder so that there is no trace left of the national movement.

On this day in 1736, the tsarist punitive troops under the command of Colonel Aleksei Tevkelev destroyed the entire Bashkir village of Seyantus (Һөyәntүҫ) of Balykchinskaya volost of Siberian road (now it is Askinskiy district of the Republic of Bashkortostan). This massacre is known in history as the Seyantus tragedy.
