  1. Bashkortostan is a beautiful republic. A unique place of nature with the Ural Mountains on the border of Europe and Asia. There are a huge number of industrial enterprises there (40% of the chemical industry was still in the USSR). Rare metals and gold are mined there. And there have been many environmental disasters and problems that have not been solved for decades. And for many years the authorities have been polluting nature and allowing its plunder. The republic's income from its wealth, almost entirely 95%, goes to Moscow, the republic is getting poorer; before, enterprises paid taxes in the republic, now in Moscow; before, 30% remained, now 5% or less. Most protests in the republic are environmental. In the Russian Federation, even in the national republics, the study of the native language is not compulsory in schools, and this greatly offends the people because this is a policy of Russification. And Russians are not the majority in the republic. There are approximately 30-35% Bashkirs, 30-35% Tatars, and together they are the majority. Since the Tatars, after the conquest of Kazan and forced baptism, fled to the lands of the Bashkirs and became their tenants. A special people, the Teptyars, appeared, Tatars who mixed with the Bashkirs, who consider themselves Tatars, speak Tatar and say about themselves that they are from the Teptyars. Both Tatar and Bashkir languages ​​differ as dialects. Tatars and Bashkirs are people with different genetic origins, different in character, but they understand each other without a translator and without using the Russian language. Bashkirs protested for centuries, both under the tsars and in the first decades of Soviet power. As a result, they suffered greatly in hard labor and prisons, wars, and died of hunger. There are really few pure Bashkirs left. In addition, the Orenburg region is also their traditional habitat, but it was separated due to fear of separatism. Bashkirs have a very open national character; they do not pretend to say what they think. Most of the protesters are ordinary people and they were simply outraged by the detention and trial of a neighbor’s guy who defended nature and the interests of their people. None of them had even encountered the cruelty of power before. But now, after the arrests, there are victims with fractures and a deceased person. And these protests were brutally suppressed. They are not separatists. Moreover, the activist was convicted for speaking. In Bashkiria there are no people with African roots; there is an expression for simple people, or people who are engaged in hard work, which literally means black people. And the Bashkirs called themselves that, saying we are simple people, working people. And the activist was sentenced to 4 years for this expression. As if he was inciting discord between nations

  2. After annexation, the Bashkirs were destroyed under the Tsar and in all Russian wars, and the entire region perished during several famines in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. Mom said they began to eat plenty in the late 50s under Khrushchev and their lands were assigned to the Orengburg and Chelyabinsk regions. In addition, the Bashkirs and Tatars used to have a common written language and a common cultural field; they do not need translation; the language differs in pronunciation and part of the words. And the Bashkirs and Tatars together in the republic are more than 60%, which is the majority. There are clearly fewer Russians, but they behave like the navel of the earth.

  3. What learns from the experience of the past is, first of all, the authorities, and organizations to combat extremism such as the center of e. People are divided, the main issues are survival. These protests are groans from the inability to endure. But all those active in prisons, organizations do not exist, young people are being squeezed out of the country. I doubt there are resources for protests. It was the groan of a dying man.

  6. About 40 criminal cases have been opened against protest participants in Bashkirtostan. They face up to 10 years for coming to such a protest, even more for snowballs from the Rosgvardiya or the police. (Rosgvardiya are special internal troops, they disperse protests. There are more of them than there are people in the army)

  7.  @ЮраМакс  существуют ученые которые занимаются изучением различных обществ. Тех кто на первобытной стадии в основном антропологи изучают, а там где есть государства, политическое развитие политологи и социологи. Так вот это они просто западные. Изучают закономерности развития различных обществ и стран.

  8. ​ @CellGames2006  Russians are not allowed to talk about their attitude to the war. Even the word war has been declared a crime. No one knows how much is against the soul and the degree of tension. If a person does not agree and speaks about his shame or worries, he will be fired. In small towns there are no other options for a family to work without money. If you start cursing the authorities or start talking about dissatisfaction, you can be sent to prison. Everyone is afraid and no one knows how many people are against it. Protests on other topics indirectly indicate that there is tension. And the tension appeared for a number of reasons.
