The popular journalist and civic activist Serhiy Smyrnov is telling about it.

Something must be done! The moment has come when you can’t sit at home, you have to take to the streets and show your protest against mobilization.

The representatives of indigenous peoples from early childhood are taught that “we are the one united Russian people, monolithic Russian nation”.

Not only the capital of the former khanate of Astrakhan now has an imperial emblem with crosses, the symbols of the city are Trinity and Assumption cathedrals, but also the russist occupants prohibit muslim women to wear a hijab on the land where not so long ago Islam used to be the main religion and the majority of population were the Nagais and the Tatar.

Many international reviewers have suggested that in the event of Russia’s military defeat in Ukraine and a subsequent period of instability with the further possible  breakup of Russia, it will not be the liberal imperialists who may come to power in the country, but even more rampant chauvinists with avowedly fascist views. The option of Putin stepping into the shadows and nominating Ramzan Kadyrov as the Savior of the Fatherland is being considered. Little chance? So be it, but tell me, who could object if siloviki (influential figures in law enforcement and security agencies) headed by terrified Putin wanted to preserve their feeder country this way? The candidate is quite suitable for the role of the executioner of All Russia, and willing to give personal guarantees. Chechens can keep their word.

When in the future, already in independent republics, the Muscovites remaining there will tell you that there is no need to change the imperial names of toponyms to the local ones, demolish imperial monuments or remove imperial pseudo-history from textbooks, keep in mind the following images.

All of a sudden, in the Russian infospace, they have recently started spreading false narratives about mobilization. The impression is that the government is testing this idea – how it will be taken.

In Georgia, when taking the Unified National Exam the applicants have the opportunity to choose,apart from Georgian, the Armenian and Azerbaijani languages for taking the test.

[Free Idel-Ural movement expands information cooperation, finding like-minded persons in Europe. We received a detailed article from the representatives of “Uudenmaan akseli” movement about the parasitism of left-wing radicals in Finland on Karelian topics for manipulation purposes, deliberately discrediting the entire Finno-Ugric movement. Below are the main points.]

We publish material provided by our friends from the channel Toraman terdemas.

At first, they tried to Russify our people by force, taking away the name, history, faith, language, traditions and memory. Later, having not received the expected result, the empire adopted a smoother method of assimilation – “Mordvinization”. They tried and are still trying to unite us into “one bilingual ethnic group” together with the Erzyas (Ěrzät). And in order for the Mokshas (Mokšet) to quickly abandon their roots, a cultural genocide was organized for us, which continues to this day.

The corresponding petition was presented on the world’s largest petition platform Change.org.

Its author recalls that on September 21, 2022, Russian president Vladimir Putin declared “partial mobilization” in connection with the “special military operation” in Ukraine and signed Decree No. 647. The mobilization campaign is particularly hard for regions inhabited by Russia’s ethnic minorities. According to the available data, the percentage of conscripts of the total population in these regions  exceeds Russia’s average.

This post on the “Free Idel-Ural” forum became the starting point for describing my considerations.

“When ruzzians try to prove that they are against Putin, it looks something like this. Germany, the 1940s, Hitler is at war with the whole world. A random German living in Germany: I’m against Hitler, but Jews certainly suck; Hitler, of course, is wrong, but the lands we have occupied are our lands and those who wish to secede must be hanged; I am against Hitler, but Gestapo is doing everything right; I am against Hitler, but Germans must rule the world.”

I would like to discuss this allegorical analogy. Let’s start with Germany.

Ukrainian law inforcement structures have announced Ramsan Kadyrov and his retinue a suspicion of unleashing an aggressive war. “Putin’s footman” reacted to that according to his mental abilities, “I would have seized Kyiv long ago, and Zelenskyy and all like him would be interrogated in a cellar … So thank Putin for not letting us seize Kyiv and question you in full measure”.

This way Kadyrov unintentionally has admitted: in occupied by thr Kremlin Chechnya, the practice of tortures in a cellar does not only exist but is also so common that even those in power forget that it is not a usual thing. At least in the civilised world.

Jenifer Ghandy, a politilogist, has calculated that in 1970s about 75% of all regimes on the planet were personal, military or party dictatorships. Some dictators managed to leave quietly, without rebellions and revolutions – like Francisco Franco in Spain, some were killed by rebels – like Rafael Trukhilio in Dominicana. Still, all of them had a lot in common: censorship, the cult of person, repressions against opposition.
