Large-scale protests in Bashkortostan reach a new level — they are joined by well-known public figures who even declare the end of the Russian Federation in its current form.
In Bashkortostan, there are calls to leave the Russian Federation
On January 19, in the capital of Bashkortostan, Ufa, the local population once again joined a mass protest to support the convicted activist Fail Alsynov.
It is important to understand that he was sentenced to four years in prison for "inciting ethnic enmity".
Bashkir singer Altynai Valitov decided to support Alsynov and all those who came to his defense. He has already released an emotional video message in which he was not afraid to declare the end of Russia.
Valitov drew attention to the fact that the convicted Alsynov is a national hero who fights for the Bashkir language and Bashkir lands. Thanks to him, it was possible to defend the Kushtau mountains and stop gold mining in the villages.
In addition, Valitov reminded that Bashkirs are oppressed on the basis of their nationality in all spheres, in particular, they can be fired from their jobs.
They are daily victims of Russian nationalism.
Why do Russians in Ufa walk around with the words "Russia is for Russians" and are not arrested? And a Bashkir who defends his people is imprisoned on his own land. Why?! – the singer asked with tears in his eyes.
Bashkirs do not consider themselves Russians
According to the artist, all this is happening because the Bashkirs are a national minority. If they swallow it, a people with a thousand-year history will disappear. That's why it won't happen.
This is the end of a multinational country (Russia - ed.), Valitov concluded, calling on his people to stand up against Putin and the Russian Federation.
Later, it became known that after these loud statements, security forces came to Altynai Valitov and conducted a search. what is with him now is unknown.
Protests in Bashkiria continue.
