Vladimir Putin is facing a serious political mutiny, after Bashkiri nationalists called for independence from Russia. The demand for independence poses a threat to Russia's territorial integrity and could encourage other rebellious regions to follow suit. The Bashkirs are one of the 193 ethics minorities that populate Russia and are of Kipchak Turkic descent.
hey have their own autonomous republic in Russia, called Bashkortostan, which is located between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains in the east of the country.
There are roughly four million Bashkirs living in Bashkortostan, making it the seventh most populous republic in Russia.
Nationalist activists from the republic sent shockwaves through the Kremlin after announcing the creation of their own army.
The nationalists said they intend to fight for a "free Bashkortostan", as they seek independence from Moscow.
The move appears to have been prompted by Putin's decision to invade Ukraine, which has created tensions between the Kremlin and ethnic groups.
This is due to the fact that ethnic minorities in Russia have borne the brunt of the Kremlin's military recruitment drives for the war and suffered significant losses in the process.
Ruslan Gabbasov, a nationalist leader, told the the media publication Verstka that Putin's war in Ukraine had nothing to do with Bashkir.
The 43-year-old said: "It is not our war. Ukrainians have never done anything bad to us, but the empire has always suppressed us.
"They suppressed our native language, they imprisoned our leaders.
"Why should we now have to fight for them?"
When Putin announced his "partial mobilisation" on September 21, an anonymous channel called the “Committee of the Bashkir Resistance” was created on the social media platform Telegram.
Its cover depicts a clenched fist on a red background, with a caption under it saying: "Bashkortostan will be free!"
The administrators wrote in their first post that the channel was "created to organise national resistance in Bashkortostan against Putin's power".
They vowed that there would be "no mobilisation" in a free Bashkortostan.
Mr Gabbasov said he knew the creators of the "partisan" Telegram channel.
He said: "These are real people who are directly related to Bashkortostan."
Since the appearance of the group, there have have been a number of attacks on government buildings.
Russia going all 1776?
Defeat him? Unlikely. But they can bleed him out.
YES, WITH ***RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN*** AS King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these *** UKRAINE***.
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The history of the ***RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN*** is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these *** UKRAINE***.
Frankly Ukraine’s not doing anything on their own except bleeding their countrymen out everyday this thing continues....leaving their country in shambles...... But then of course the people know that once again their country will be rebuilt and modernized - at the worlds expense so they can get back to their business of money laundering and other thefts.
It is a total BS. So called “nationalists” are just foreign agents. They speak from abroad of Russia.
Ruslan Gabbasov, a nationalist leader, told the the media publication Verstka that Putin’s war in Ukraine had nothing to do with Bashkir.===
He had fled Russia in 2021. He is a foreign agent asset. He speaks what his curators say.
