Yup. And Tajiks are dying in the war, too.

Also, Tashkent is in Uzbekistan, not Tajikistan.
The 37th MRB is quite a storied unit in Soviet history and whether the current unit is a Russian unit designation reconstituted for the war or an Uzbek unit under Russian command the fact remains that the unit is quite real and is not merely a thing of the past.
BTW, the 37th MRB was always an Uzbek unit.
Knowing that the unit is likely an Uzbek unit under Russian command makes the news of the commander’s murder less offensive than thinking it was a Russian who killed the man.
By bad, Uzbekistan, but it doesn’t make a difference. If there are Uzbeks, they aren’t a part of their military. The article is still a dim-witted BS.
From what I can see, Uzbekistan has taken a neutral position in the conflict so I doubt the soldiers were assigned to Russian command.
