Do you mind if live streamers (specifically kidnotkin and Lonerboxx live) react to your content? I really appreciate your coverage of events either way.
The research done is laughable! You called the grand duchy of Muscovy, the kingdom of Rus’ which was a state in Galicia, and the Moscow State/ Tsardom of Muscovy you named the “Russian Tsardom”, though it was not actually known as such and started being called that only thanks to ussr propaganda.
Thanks for this video. I was hoping you would do a longer format on Bashkortostan, since the wagner rebellion. You truly succeeded in showing a part of the world which almost nobody heard about.
this one hits closee to home. I am Lithuanian and my mother is from Ufa. I personally have not been there, but I know how beatiful the land and the people are. Hope the best for the regio n!
If you are hoping for the best then you are hoping for them to remain part of russia. Man the hypocracy is real in the minds of russophones when it comes to russian territorial integrity and the eu
I want to correct you a little, within EU4, Bashkortostan mostly lies in the province of the same name, Bashkortostan, which produces wool. And only part of present-day Bashkortostan belongs to the gold-bearing province of Bashgird, and another part of the western province, but I don’t remember its name
I was in Ufa in 2021 (Folkloriada), and I really enjoyed my stay. It did not feel like Russia at all (compared to Moscow). It was such a different experience. I am a slav and the place didn't feel slavic at all, more like a post communistic asian state
@qazaq-qyiat Bruh, I checked and they are indeed turkic. Had a mistake because there are a lot of finno-ugric nations in the region. However, I am not very sure about DNA part, as far as I know scythians were iranic people.
@qazaq-qyiat They are closer to Medieval Turkics than Kazakhs are. Medieval Turkics already had tons of Schytian DNA. It's just that Kazakhs like you are %40 Medieval Mongolic. Bashkirs with %37.4 Asian DNA have a clear medieval Turkic DNA profile. They are closer to Pre Mongol Kipchak samples from Kazakhstan than you modern Kazakhs are.

@@sxnap3480I don’t think that Russia won’t be militarily capable of keeping its borders in just 5 years. Demographically, it’s very unlikely they will have the man power to do so in a few decades.

This is an anti-Russian propaganda channel. Bashkortostan does not even show a lick of separatism from the Russian Federation. The USSR was voluntary, it's just that local communists in these nations seized control then formed the ussr.
Tsardom of muscovy is the tsardom born in Moscow. The grand duchy of Muscovy was the state that gained supremacy and overthrew the tatar yoke and consolidated power in Russia. Effectively a kingdom of Russians, even if still called grand duchy. Then it'd become a tsardom. Tsardom of muscovy is just to specify given that there is also the tsardom of Bulgaria. You could call it the muscovite or MOSCOWite tsardom, as you'd prefer.
its honestly kinda surprising to me that russia has been able to hold on to so much territory for so long with so much of it been so far from Moscow's influence i also wonder if china might start creeping into russian borders they probably would have already if the land wasn't as harsh
There is no reason for China to take territory by force when they can economically dominate it. They need Siberia for the resources, if Russia sells the resources for below market rates then China has no need to risk nuclear war over them. Much less fight insurgencies etc.

15:02 Salavat Yulaev fought for the rights of Bashkirs, and he was on the same side with Emelyan Pugachev, they fought against the oppression of the entire population, once in Russia they oppressed everyone except the nobles
Thank you for enlightening us on another republic I've never heard of. I think you might find an eager audience for more videos like this on the individual republics inside Russia and their actions/plans in relation to the Ukraine war. E.g. Tatarstan and Dagestan, and probably many more we've never even heard of.
Haha uhh sorry to tell you this but there are no ,,plans" for anything that is not within the interest of the russian federation because every interest of the federation is their interest as well.

According to the 2021 Russian census, the population of Bashkortostan is only 31.5% ethnic Bashkirs, while Russians make up 37.5% of the Republic. Assuming that this census is correct, how would Bashkortostan ever gain the support of its people?
@uninstaller2860 right, but why should the Russians accept this new state to begin with? What if the 37% of Russians wants Bashkortostan to remain a part of Russia? Wouldn't this just lead to further conflicts?
Greetings from the Republic of Bashkortostan. First of all, I want to express my gratitude to the Good Times Bad Times channel, you guys did a great job and you will be honored for this. My country has been under occupation for almost 500 years, and during this time Russia has taken colossal resources and opportunities from us, this is unacceptable. Now, we no longer want to be second in our homeland, we want to be equal among equals and no one will stop the Bashkir striving for freedom. We believe in the victory of Ukraine and common sense in the West, you guys must understand that Russia is not your friend. I hope for solidarity with my people and our national movement.
@@Ifraneljadida Yes, they have increased. As you can see, many people express dissatisfaction through sabotage, but in general society is dissatisfied with the current situation.

Around 1740, Bashkirs declared Abulkhair Kazakh Khan as their Khan. Moreover Bashkirs and Kazakhs are very close nations with similar culture, language, and ancestry. Languages are so similar, that kazakhs and bashkirs can fluently speak with each other
@mrobocop1666 it is obvious that you have no clue about Bashkirs and Kazakhs, since you make such a groundless assertion. You put English first, but you apparently don't know that not many people are fluent in English there.

Thank you for expanding my knowledge of the world. Really appreciate the effort you put in to this work. I pray your peoples find freedom, autonomy & self preservation.
Majority of the Bashkartostanian population is russian. Dominant language is russian. The region survives thanks to subsidies from Moscow. What do you mean autonomy?
Bashkortotostan native here. Gotta love all the speculation for the independence of the region, given all the economic ties to the other regions, that would be severed, were Bashkiria to secede from the rest of the country. Such an event would only occur in a broader collapse of the state, putting tens of millions of people in misery, poverty, and wars over petty national squabbles You're not willing something good to happen to the locals (barring a few nationalists) Don't kid yourself Luckily, it's an unlikely scenario
Well said! It’s the same for most big countries - ask people from New England how close they feel to people who live in California 😂 Though they all are Americans. Russia even more so as the country is bigger and the history is more than a thousand years old. So just as for the US I think that it’s for the benefit of all Russians to stay together in one country 💪
@@vfminiatures New England to California is not like Bashkortostan to Moscow. Russia is a classic empire, unlike the US. And all empires collapse. And current modern type of state is the product of modern era, so the Russian state is much younger than you think.
@@MetalGearyaTV I’d politely disagree, good sir. Calling Russia an empire is a big oversimplification imho, so is not calling hundreds of FOBs the US has in the world even somewhat “imperial” (orders of magnitude more than Russia has). So as you rightly pointed out - history isn’t static and therefore judging one country’s “imperial” ambitions using old standards of measurements may not be accurate. As for the age of the Russian state - the cultural, historical, political and other “baggage” that moves from one iteration of the Russian state to another is so massive and obvious that imho it is quite fair to say that the country is more than 1000 years old. Russia has had so much perturbation in its long history that it of course is nowhere near as linear and clean as the US for example, but so are the vast majority of European states - France, Germany and others. There is history to support that, lands to support that, culture to support that and etc. P.S. MGS series lover myself 😁 Snakeeeeee!
Well said my Turkish brother. Bash - head or main Kort - Wolf Stan - province/country/state I’m Bashkort and my grandad who was a history teacher said me that we - Bashkort people lived in mountains region in east [Altai] and approximately in 4 century our ancestors followed after the big Alfa wolf several weaks and we appeared in other mountains [Ural] that we’ve made our home forever Hopefully our turkic union comes soon 🤲🏽🐺
@@franciscoacevedo3036not really. Spain separatism is literally about formal national identity/autonomy, but in Russian "provinces" it's about that they believe - without Russia they could have electricity and running water...and not be drafted to retar-ded Russian prince wars... It's different. Catalonia is the most affluent part of Spain...their independence is not based on living sheet or being oppressed 😂 I mean, I don't get involved in Spain stuff at all. I am fine with any outcome I love Spain but I not gonna talk sheet on Basques or Catalonians. Bashkir folks are simply ethnicaly not Russian. Spain is united for a longer time then Russia and even tho Basque ar not the same , but they also are not just straight up different people from the rest of Spain.

Texas, the state that wants to break away from US. Northern Ireland and Scotland, territories that want to break away from Britain. Quebeck, a territory that wants to break away from Canada. Belgium, a state that wants to divide itself in two. Catalonia, a territory that wants to break away from Spain.
All of which are fine with me. Let them find out the hard way how much they are supported by their current federal government. Ukraine already did it and they were making it on their own before your boyfriend Putin decided he's some kind of emperor.
@@MrTaxiRob look at the Minsk agreements, which stated that it was necessary to give autonomy to Donbass. 6 years or so have passed, well, more than 5 for sure, it all started in 2014. And this point has not been completed. Unlike Bashkortostan with its own constitution. I don’t know for sure, but I’m almost sure that this republic is subsidized, like Chechnya and Dagestan and other republics. That is, they consume more than they produce. And Moscow, as a regional entity, gives them subsidies. Of course, we can say that the capital accumulates federal money, but look at Russia’s transport system and industrial base. And don’t say that Moscow feeds from everyone and is fattening. Those regions are less developed, and money is given for their development. If you want to say, of course, resources are flowing to Moscow and with their help development is taking place. However, we can say in this way that Germany also fed on Russia and its per capita resources. Now there is a recession, as proof of that fact. However, Bashkortostan is a republic of the Russian Federation, and its residents are full citizens of Russia with the right to live and do business wherever they want. And look at the national composition of the republic and forget about such nonsense. And if he doesn’t convince, well then Kosovo, Taiwan should have been left as part of Serbia and China according to this logic.
@@dirchikabubakr2231Russia broke the Minsk agreements so why would Ukraine stick to them though? They might consume more than they produce but oil/gas/gold/metals predominantly come from non historically Slavic regions/ republics… it’s those areas that produce the raw the materials that fuels the Russian economy. Because the Republics can’t have control over their own resources they inherently have to be subsidised, why would Putin want a Republic to not be subsidised… if it could be financially self reliant it would encourage independence movements.
Could you provide a source list for the mention of the famine in Bashkortistan? I tried both the Bashkiri wiki, English wiki, and Russian wiki and either don't understand enough of the language or find no mention of it.
Голод поволжья 1922,это ни только башкиры это весь регион голодал,просто многие мужчины умерли и скотоводство ,,исчезло,, из-за чего начался голод,это лишь в какой-то степени искусственный голод
You're right, there wasn't "famine in Bashkortostan", just google it like "Famine in the Volga" (Volga region). This region includes more republics, not only Baskortostan (as you already answered above). Russian history, unlike Ukrainian, does not share much details about this. Otherwise, Kremlin would have to admit, that USSR destroyed a lot of the population in these regions. And it doesn’t matter if it was due to an error in calculating the necessary food products (as some historians explain it), or specifically - to destroy the national population. The fact is, that people died. Not a very convenient truth for people, who still trust that USSR was a good country.

Thanks for educating me about this situation. While generally and vaguely aware of various peoples within the Russian Empire, I simply had no specific information on Bashkortostan.
Any territory within the Russian Federation that wants to be free only has to do two things, preserve their culture and have lots of babies. The Russians aren't replacing themselves, each generation there will be fewer of them. Eventually they won't have enough people willing to risk themselves to hang on to their imperial conquests. The Bashkirs have already waited a few centuries, a few decades more should be enough to restore their independence.
the Bashkirs have the same fertility rate as the rest of Russia otherwise you would see a booming Muslim population and a declining Orthodox or Russian population. Russia is going downhill with the minorities who themselves arent having babies constantly reenforcing the 70% to 30% Russian to non Russian population ratio even as Russias population shrinks overall the proportion has been the same since 1990.
Thats a common issue for colonies - that the colonialists have settled in the colony. But it doesn’t necessarily stop achieving independence. South Africa is a good example.

Fascinating topic. I'd never heard of Bashkortostan before watching this video, to be honest. It's interesting to hear about the language repression- lately I've been learning more about the Russian Empire and the USSR, and it seems like repressing languages and culture was something Moscow pushed onto most of its subjects/territories. Also, your English is pretty good and your videos are well-made. I will definitely revisit your channel soon 👍
Не знаю как было раньше, но один урок башкирского в школе нам навязывают, эта не поддержка языка, а только её вид, единственное что я умею это произносить буквы из алфавита, это довольно таки трудно, если учитывать, что мои башкирские корни никак не дали мне знания этого языка, у меня есть одноклассники, которые знают башкирский

being taught about Russian supression meanwhile you congratulate a man for pretty good English is so fucking hillarious. Not a language built on supression at all. Real true story, moscow supressed so many nations for centuries that Georgian, Armenian, Kazakh, Bashkir, Tatar, Estonian, etc and even defacto close to the Russian and easy to replace languages like Belarusian and Ukrainian exists while Welshian, Scottish, Cornish and especially Irish defacto are dead. Wouldn't say a word about cherokee or Navajo. Or about German, Jewish group, Polish, Russian, French, Irish again, Spanish and etc that were the first languages for about 80% or more of who came to the US in 19th-20th centuries and why their descendants cant pronounce a single word on their parents tongues. And I wouldn't say a word about the colonization and globalization and what were and comes with them. Just a peaceful replacement lmao. They all simply wanted to forget their own culture for absolutely no doubt the best one. Arrogant western minded, sick of you.

@@yolotrollo6343Ukrainians knew it themselves that they had no choice but to fight Russia when Russia invaded their land in 2014 and then again in 2022 until now.
If a nascent Baskir state isn't even able to cooperate with Tatars for their own existence it makes me kinda fear for what kind of ethnic cleansing might happen in the republic if it were to gain independence. Bashkortostan has more Russians than Bashkirs, although not by much, but when ~40% of your population is Russian...what happens to them in this independence movement?
There are no significant natioanal movements in Bashkortostan for independence. Video is just speculation out of nothing, you can make it up about any region of any country
I could see an general movement for the independence of all uralic and caucuses Republican as a whole in the regions to cause enough trouble. It took Russia alot of resources on a single Republic of chechnya atleast twice imagine a whole region becoming it's own confederation?
Kazakhstan was the most developed and democratic country in the world, but then the bad Russians came and started destroying schools, hospitals, institutes, factories, starved them, forbade them to speak their own language, brutally suppressed uprisings, and siphoned off all the resources. Kazakhstan did not participate in the collapse of the USSR because there was simply no one to do it. This is such a sad story.
Okay, as someone who's actually from Russia and have been in opposition for a significant amount of time - I have to say, that any separatist movements with significant traction, besides those in parts of the Caucasus (namely - in Chechnya, and the majority of its representatives are outside of Russia) have little to no traction and representation. If you look at the population of Bashkortostan - it's about a third for the population of Bashkirs, about a third of Tatars and about a third of Russians, with some minorities sprinkled in, and the claims of forced Russification of the region is more or less overblown, where most of the language is not being as widespread because of the lack of teachers (which also happens with some Russian schools in Samara, for example, with Russian language), not even to mention, that literally the biggest discourse in Russia right now, besides the war, is migrants, which we have about 11.7 million of (at least those, that have officially registered), and fears of islamification of regions like Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and the government is doing nothing about that. The biggest amount of political prisoners in Russia are actually Russian Nationalists, that displayed disdain for putin's anti-Russian policies. So I'd take movements like that, as well as RVC\Freedom of Russia with a huge pinch of salt, since it's not very clear, who they represent, and if you look at their general following on Telegram, for example, it's usually a very small number of people, with very little activists on the ground, most likely, since every case, that's happening around someone like that, instantly becomes news - and we've seen none thus far, when it comes to Bashkort (whereas we've seen some for freedom of Russia and RVC). I'd say that, before making videos like that, you need to talk to people, that'll give you various perspectives from the opposition, not only specific groups of liberals and ethnoseparatists. Talk to Svetov, talk to Anti corruption foundation, talk to Anti government nationalists like Demushkin to find materials to research on that, because most of the stuff you're getting in English is a bunch of biased garbage, that rarely gives a well-rounded perspective on Russian opposition politics, which is extremely complex.

@@ElijahSmith First of all - that's nonsense. He wasn't displaying "Non Slavic inhabitants of Russia" and comparing them to insects, he was displaying a particular islamic terrorist -Aslan Mashadov, and he was promoting weapons for self-defense as a sort of repellant for all wrongdoers, when advocating for more loose gun laws in Russia. Another thing that western people take from our liberals with 0 fucking context and take for granted.
So, there is much less rebellion tension than you present in this video. I'm not sure about all distant areas of Bashkortostan(I'm originally from Ufa). However, in big cities exist only ethnical tension, because there are a planty of hiden intolerance towards non bashkort citizens even in big cities, where mostly ethnical russians and tatars live. For example it is much harder to get into Ufa's medical university if you are not a bashkir
Thank you so much for this report. How much haven't different national ethnic minorities suffered in Russia for centuries since first occupied. Until this day it's a fight for linguistic and cultural survival. It's truly horrible to think how much they have been and still are going through till this day. Fighting for every breath of air to survive.
As a Bashkort, I’d say the number 1 thing which disappoints me - is a scarcity of support for us from the outside world, especially from our Turkic brothers [Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan]. It’ll be hard for us to gain independence without support, we don’t want to repeat the Chechen war where hundreds of thousands Chechen people died but there was not result, and it’s all because the lack of support
We will always love our Tatar brothers and sisters but I don’t think we could unite, eventhough I’m personally not against it. It’s just that us - Bashkort people have misled stereotypes that Tatar people through generations could overcome us and we all will mix into only one nation - Tatar nation
I wish Bashkortostan people all the streangth necesary to claim their freedom! Im Latvian and we have been slaves for centuries, but now we are free. All peoples in the world deserve to be free from occupyers and dictate their life and their culture!

Hey guys! I've been watching your channel for several years now and I like what you do. I was confident in your impartiality and independence of your agenda. Before this video. The fact is that I myself live in Russia in the Bashkortostan region and about 50% of the facts from what you say do not correspond to reality. 1. No one infringes on Bashkirs. Yes, Bashkir language becomes optional. But this is because in Russia, republics have their own ethnic groups (Bashkirs, Russians, Tatars, and so on) and in each republic they study their national language as an additional one. In Bashkortostan, it is the Bashkir language, and at the same time there are special schools where this language is mandatory. If you want, you can enroll your child in this school and he will know the Bashkir language perfectly. In other schools, this is optional. Russian russians can also choose which language to learn: Bashkirs learn Bashkir, Tatars - Tatar, but at the same time, they all necessarily learn Russian, because Russian is a mandatory language in the country. No one with a machine gun stands and does not force you to learn this or that language. Here you are not completely immersed in the topic, our system is somewhat different. 2. Bashkirs voluntarily joined Russia (this is the official version). But yes, some fought for independence (some tribes), as there was a split among the Bashkirs themselves. When the region became part of Russia, Niko did not go and kill Bashkirs just like that. It's just that Russians began to organize fortresses on their lands to protect their borders, and not all Bashkirs liked it. 3. The situation in the region is calm. Yes, there are social movements, but they include not only Bashkirs, but also Russians and Tatars. Certainly there are no armed groups - that's complete nonsense. The fact that the president's title was taken away from the president - it was in all republics (both Tatarstan and Chechnya and others). No one was against it. I travel a lot around the region and travel and no one throws stones at me, because I am Russian))))) . On the contrary, the region is loyal to Moscow and Putin, at least look at the results of the elections by subjects. 4. About the church and the mosque. The church is being built because churches in Russia are built with donations to Orthodox churches and money from the Russian Orthodox Church, and mosques in Bashkortostan are built with republican money. The fact that the mosque is not being built is a problem of the complexity of construction, high cost and a bit of corruption. In our region, Russians and Bashkirs live in peace. I have many friends, Russians and Bashkirs and Tatars. No one looks at each other askance. 5. Yes, indeed, the Americans helped the Bashkirs during the Civil War. Their headquarters were located in the center of the city. Now this building is also there, very beautiful. At that time, not only in Ufa there was such a headquarters, but also in other cities of the empire, it was a difficult time, and we are grateful to everyone for their help. But food was taken not only from Bashkirs, but from all regions of Russia. It was called "prodnalog". 6. Bashkirs now will not be able to seize power in the region by force - this is complete nonsense. Bashkirs make up only a third of the inhabitants of the entire region. and they don't have weapons, in Russia you can't just go and buy weapons - it's against the law. 7. No one sent only Bashkirs to war. In Bashkortostan, not only Bashkirs live (Bashkirs are only a third of the republic). Many people went voluntarily.. 8. There is no sense in the independence of Bashkortostan. Everything is peaceful here, everyone is happy with everything. Yes, there is a lot of oil in Bashkortostan, but it was not stolen, and Bashneft was voluntarily sold. Tourism and manufacturing are actively developing in the republic now. Come to Bashkortostan, it's very beautiful here, beautiful nature and friendly people. and everything is not as you describe.
Hello. I am a purebred Bashkir. and I want to say that the author of this comment is blatantly lying. Bashkiria never voluntarily joined Russia. under Catherine, our villages were burned along with children, old people and women. this is a proven fact. there could be no split among the Bashkirs. because Russians were foreigners to us and we never trusted them.
@@byneuralnetworkit is being destroyed only bacause of Bashkirs who don’t want to learn the language and save traditions. Nobody prohibits and doestn’t limit anything
@@EaZir122 Since 2018, language learning has been cancelled, state exams can only be taken in Russian, the Bashkir language and culture are being squeezed out of education, the Bashkirs themselves have still preserved the language, but without state support the language and culture will die. in Russia there is only infringement of the rights of languages and forced assimilation
You didn’t mention the video you published seven months ago about the possible collapse of the Russian federation. At that time, you said that Bashkirs could be part of a much wider federation of republics called Idel-Ural. For those interested in, I recommend you to view it.
0:41 is ukraine really still fighting for independence. At this point it's for border integrity, but then what's the point? Give those lands to Russia, negotiate peace, and end the war.
An independent Bashkortostan may break Russia in two along the Ural, creating a massive power vacuum readily exploitable for the Asian giant. And be aware that Bashkortostan is in striking distance from a land force in Kazakhstan, should some Chinese garrison replace the current Russian garrison in the future. As to whether that's an opportunity or a threat, it will be up to the Bashkirs themselves to decide. Hopefully they will decide wisely.
@@HF7-AD Yet we in the East have been there (kind of) for millenia... Nowadays China is negotiating with Russia about the hegemony over Central Asia, but it seems that Moscow is still driving a hard bargain despite its loss on Ukrainian front.
At anytime in Bashkortostan's history have they had direct access to the sea from within their own recognized borders? They appear to be a mix between Middle Eastern, Asian, and Russian. Quite an interesting ethic soup they have there.
I'm from Ufa, the capital of Bashkortorstan. It's more likely that Texas or California will secede before Bashkortorstan will. There is no desire for independence, we love being part of Russia
@@uninstaller2860nah, me and my friends are more than willing to fight those "freedom fighters" if they do start something in here. We love to see Ufa peaceful and multicultural as it has always been. -Ufa city resident, born and raised.
That video is unhinged straight up propaganda I mean I was born in Ufa I love Russia despite all what's been going on Stop trying to dream about Russia's breakup it's not gonna happen Bashkortostan has been under Russia for far too long, we got close with the Russians now
The present time would be the best option for independence. With Russian forces currently engrossed in Ukraine those republics that have been oppressed would stand their best chance for change. Bashkortostan should focus concentration on the land area toward Kazakhstan. This would aid in removing that Soviet induced isolation. Waiting for the conflict to end in Ukraine would be an opportunity lost. The time is now. This also would politically effect Putin. The republics disenfranchised with the Russian federation need to have meetings to coordinate their strategies for independence.
literally no one suggested that anyone send arms to rebels @@omnio7662 , only that republics which wish to break away should coordinate their efforts and make their moves at the same time. The Russian armed forces can't be everywhere at once.
Bashkortostan without russians is half Bashkir half Tatar whom not on very best terms with each other. If russians leave, it will immidiately spiral into civil war like in Bosnia, Afghan, Israel etc.
By this argument all of the nations before ww1 shouldn't get independence, because "population is quirky" But in reality in future region could solve all its problems, and live with it. For example Bosnia had bloody war, but now, you have diverse, but functional country. Would it be better for Bosnians to stay in Yugoslavia, and continue to be opressed, in your opinion?
Completely false, literally all Turkic countries have other Turkic populations such as Turkiye has a large Azerbaijani population. Uzbekistan Kazakh population, Kazakhstan Uyghur population. But did they spiral into a civil war? NOPE! There isn't even slightest ethnic unrest between them, Turkic people share great similarities between their religion, culture and even their languages are mutually intelligible so for sure they would rather live in a Turkic country together than live in russia..
You might think so. But they are both Turkic and Sunni Muslims. Their cultures are also very similar. It can be said that they differ only in name. You Russians either sincerely admit that you are invaders of foreign lands, or leave them alone. Nobody asked the Russians to come and save them.
@@ggoddkkiller1342 Bro you're talking about Azerbaijan and ignoring Armenia? That's exactly the type of regional fighting that the commenter was talking about.
The first sentence of the video must have been this: "Bashkirs (or Baskurts) are Turkic". There is enough evidence to say that these people are the first who developed the Turkish language.
What are your thoughts on the recent protests against exploitive mining practises in the republic and non Slavic Russians being forced to fight at a higher percentage? Poland is not a federation/confederation? Also that region of Poland doesn’t have large protests calling for independence, nor government officials, nor armed groups wanting it… so why any video?
Russians were just not as cunning as Americans, Americans exterminated all those pesky independent peoples between the two coasts and have zero issues with this stuff.
The quote of all the oppressed people of the world: "It will be nice to have a little place that is home in a world that does not want us. I want to see my children learn about me in school, I want our elders to die in peace. I wish to see a flag, a beautiful beautiful flag, fly from all our homes."
Only 32% of Bashkortostan's population is Bashkir. Only 20% of Ufa's population is Bashkir while 49% is Russian. This is a big omission from this report.

700 years of russian occupation: bashkirs still speak own language that taught at schools, has own media and culture. 200 years of democracy in north america: local tribes completely disappeared.
What do you mean, completely disappeared? The Navajo nation covers 27,413 miles. With territory in three different states. And the Navajo language is spoken to this day. You don't know much about America.
We are not so easy to deal with, we were fragments of the most powerful state of the Mongol Empire. The armies and armed detachments were always at the same level and with combat experience. Often, uprisings were launched by experienced military personnel.
@@robertkeaney9905 They're not on their native land, literally on a reservation they were herded onto. Their poverty rate is disproportionately high, some tribes don't even have street names, which causes issues with international shipping (between Navajo Nation and US for example). You really can't fight on this one, Russian treatment of natives was and continues to be better than the US. The Anglos are in a league of their own with how cruel they were.

Tsardom of muscovy is the tsardom born in Moscow. The grand duchy of Muscovy was the state that gained supremacy and overthrew the tatar yoke and consolidated power in Russia. Effectively a kingdom of Russians, even if still called grand duchy. Then it'd become a tsardom.

The reason is because the information in the video is wrong
There is no reason for China to take territory by force when they can economically dominate it. They need Siberia for the resources, if Russia sells the resources for below market rates then China has no need to risk nuclear war over them. Much less fight insurgencies etc.

@@MetalGearyaTV I’d politely disagree, good sir. Calling Russia an empire is a big oversimplification imho, so is not calling hundreds of FOBs the US has in the world even somewhat “imperial” (orders of magnitude more than Russia has). So as you rightly pointed out - history isn’t static and therefore judging one country’s “imperial” ambitions using old standards of measurements may not be accurate. As for the age of the Russian state - the cultural, historical, political and other “baggage” that moves from one iteration of the Russian state to another is so massive and obvious that imho it is quite fair to say that the country is more than 1000 years old. Russia has had so much perturbation in its long history that it of course is nowhere near as linear and clean as the US for example, but so are the vast majority of European states - France, Germany and others. There is history to support that, lands to support that, culture to support that and etc.

@@MrTaxiRob look at the Minsk agreements, which stated that it was necessary to give autonomy to Donbass. 6 years or so have passed, well, more than 5 for sure, it all started in 2014. And this point has not been completed. Unlike Bashkortostan with its own constitution. I don’t know for sure, but I’m almost sure that this republic is subsidized, like Chechnya and Dagestan and other republics. That is, they consume more than they produce. And Moscow, as a regional entity, gives them subsidies. Of course, we can say that the capital accumulates federal money, but look at Russia’s transport system and industrial base. And don’t say that Moscow feeds from everyone and is fattening. Those regions are less developed, and money is given for their development. If you want to say, of course, resources are flowing to Moscow and with their help development is taking place. However, we can say in this way that Germany also fed on Russia and its per capita resources. Now there is a recession, as proof of that fact. However, Bashkortostan is a republic of the Russian Federation, and its residents are full citizens of Russia with the right to live and do business wherever they want. And look at the national composition of the republic and forget about such nonsense. And if he doesn’t convince, well then Kosovo, Taiwan should have been left as part of Serbia and China according to this logic.
@@dirchikabubakr2231Russia broke the Minsk agreements so why would Ukraine stick to them though?
They might consume more than they produce but oil/gas/gold/metals predominantly come from non historically Slavic regions/ republics… it’s those areas that produce the raw the materials that fuels the Russian economy.
Because the Republics can’t have control over their own resources they inherently have to be subsidised, why would Putin want a Republic to not be subsidised… if it could be financially self reliant it would encourage independence movements.
@@dirchikabubakr2231 what are your thoughts on the giant protests occurring in the last few days with thousands of people out peacefully protesting?

Голод поволжья 1922,это ни только башкиры это весь регион голодал,просто многие мужчины умерли и скотоводство ,,исчезло,, из-за чего начался голод,это лишь в какой-то степени искусственный голод
You're right, there wasn't "famine in Bashkortostan", just google it like "Famine in the Volga" (Volga region). This region includes more republics, not only Baskortostan (as you already answered above).
Russian history, unlike Ukrainian, does not share much details about this. Otherwise, Kremlin would have to admit, that USSR destroyed a lot of the population in these regions. And it doesn’t matter if it was due to an error in calculating the necessary food products (as some historians explain it), or specifically - to destroy the national population. The fact is, that people died. Not a very convenient truth for people, who still trust that USSR was a good country.

Any territory within the Russian Federation that wants to be free only has to do two things, preserve their culture and have lots of babies. The Russians aren't replacing themselves, each generation there will be fewer of them. Eventually they won't have enough people willing to risk themselves to hang on to their imperial conquests. The Bashkirs have already waited a few centuries, a few decades more should be enough to restore their independence.
the Bashkirs have the same fertility rate as the rest of Russia otherwise you would see a booming Muslim population and a declining Orthodox or Russian population. Russia is going downhill with the minorities who themselves arent having babies constantly reenforcing the 70% to 30% Russian to non Russian population ratio even as Russias population shrinks overall the proportion has been the same since 1990.

Fascinating topic. I'd never heard of Bashkortostan before watching this video, to be honest. It's interesting to hear about the language repression- lately I've been learning more about the Russian Empire and the USSR, and it seems like repressing languages and culture was something Moscow pushed onto most of its subjects/territories.
Also, your English is pretty good and your videos are well-made. I will definitely revisit your channel soon

Real true story, moscow supressed so many nations for centuries that Georgian, Armenian, Kazakh, Bashkir, Tatar, Estonian, etc and even defacto close to the Russian and easy to replace languages like Belarusian and Ukrainian exists while Welshian, Scottish, Cornish and especially Irish defacto are dead. Wouldn't say a word about cherokee or Navajo. Or about German, Jewish group, Polish, Russian, French, Irish again, Spanish and etc that were the first languages for about 80% or more of who came to the US in 19th-20th centuries and why their descendants cant pronounce a single word on their parents tongues. And I wouldn't say a word about the colonization and globalization and what were and comes with them.

Okay, as someone who's actually from Russia and have been in opposition for a significant amount of time - I have to say, that any separatist movements with significant traction, besides those in parts of the Caucasus (namely - in Chechnya, and the majority of its representatives are outside of Russia) have little to no traction and representation. If you look at the population of Bashkortostan - it's about a third for the population of Bashkirs, about a third of Tatars and about a third of Russians, with some minorities sprinkled in, and the claims of forced Russification of the region is more or less overblown, where most of the language is not being as widespread because of the lack of teachers (which also happens with some Russian schools in Samara, for example, with Russian language), not even to mention, that literally the biggest discourse in Russia right now, besides the war, is migrants, which we have about 11.7 million of (at least those, that have officially registered), and fears of islamification of regions like Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and the government is doing nothing about that. The biggest amount of political prisoners in Russia are actually Russian Nationalists, that displayed disdain for putin's anti-Russian policies. So I'd take movements like that, as well as RVC\Freedom of Russia with a huge pinch of salt, since it's not very clear, who they represent, and if you look at their general following on Telegram, for example, it's usually a very small number of people, with very little activists on the ground, most likely, since every case, that's happening around someone like that, instantly becomes news - and we've seen none thus far, when it comes to Bashkort (whereas we've seen some for freedom of Russia and RVC).
I'd say that, before making videos like that, you need to talk to people, that'll give you various perspectives from the opposition, not only specific groups of liberals and ethnoseparatists. Talk to Svetov, talk to Anti corruption foundation, talk to Anti government nationalists like Demushkin to find materials to research on that, because most of the stuff you're getting in English is a bunch of biased garbage, that rarely gives a well-rounded perspective on Russian opposition politics, which is extremely complex.

Thanks!
So, there is much less rebellion tension than you present in this video. I'm not sure about all distant areas of Bashkortostan(I'm originally from Ufa). However, in big cities exist only ethnical tension, because there are a planty of hiden intolerance towards non bashkort citizens even in big cities, where mostly ethnical russians and tatars live. For example it is much harder to get into Ufa's medical university if you are not a bashkir

As a Bashkort, I’d say the number 1 thing which disappoints me - is a scarcity of support for us from the outside world, especially from our Turkic brothers [Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan].
It’ll be hard for us to gain independence without support, we don’t want to repeat the Chechen war where hundreds of thousands Chechen people died but there was not result, and it’s all because the lack of support
So interesting!
You should do one on Tatarstan, and Idel-Ural. It's not just the people of Bashkortostan that seek to be free of Moscow's rule.

Nobody is seeking to quote on quote ,,free" themselves whenever somebody uses the word freedom they have an alterior motive.
We will always love our Tatar brothers and sisters but I don’t think we could unite, eventhough I’m personally not against it.

Hey guys! I've been watching your channel for several years now and I like what you do. I was confident in your impartiality and independence of your agenda. Before this video.
The fact is that I myself live in Russia in the Bashkortostan region and about 50% of the facts from what you say do not correspond to reality.
1. No one infringes on Bashkirs. Yes, Bashkir language becomes optional. But this is because in Russia, republics have their own ethnic groups (Bashkirs, Russians, Tatars, and so on) and in each republic they study their national language as an additional one. In Bashkortostan, it is the Bashkir language, and at the same time there are special schools where this language is mandatory. If you want, you can enroll your child in this school and he will know the Bashkir language perfectly. In other schools, this is optional. Russian russians can also choose which language to learn: Bashkirs learn Bashkir, Tatars - Tatar, but at the same time, they all necessarily learn Russian, because Russian is a mandatory language in the country. No one with a machine gun stands and does not force you to learn this or that language. Here you are not completely immersed in the topic, our system is somewhat different.
2. Bashkirs voluntarily joined Russia (this is the official version). But yes, some fought for independence (some tribes), as there was a split among the Bashkirs themselves. When the region became part of Russia, Niko did not go and kill Bashkirs just like that. It's just that Russians began to organize fortresses on their lands to protect their borders, and not all Bashkirs liked it.
3. The situation in the region is calm. Yes, there are social movements, but they include not only Bashkirs, but also Russians and Tatars. Certainly there are no armed groups - that's complete nonsense. The fact that the president's title was taken away from the president - it was in all republics (both Tatarstan and Chechnya and others). No one was against it. I travel a lot around the region and travel and no one throws stones at me, because I am Russian))))) . On the contrary, the region is loyal to Moscow and Putin, at least look at the results of the elections by subjects.
4. About the church and the mosque. The church is being built because churches in Russia are built with donations to Orthodox churches and money from the Russian Orthodox Church, and mosques in Bashkortostan are built with republican money. The fact that the mosque is not being built is a problem of the complexity of construction, high cost and a bit of corruption. In our region, Russians and Bashkirs live in peace. I have many friends, Russians and Bashkirs and Tatars. No one looks at each other askance.
5. Yes, indeed, the Americans helped the Bashkirs during the Civil War. Their headquarters were located in the center of the city. Now this building is also there, very beautiful. At that time, not only in Ufa there was such a headquarters, but also in other cities of the empire, it was a difficult time, and we are grateful to everyone for their help. But food was taken not only from Bashkirs, but from all regions of Russia. It was called "prodnalog".
6. Bashkirs now will not be able to seize power in the region by force - this is complete nonsense. Bashkirs make up only a third of the inhabitants of the entire region. and they don't have weapons, in Russia you can't just go and buy weapons - it's against the law.
7. No one sent only Bashkirs to war. In Bashkortostan, not only Bashkirs live (Bashkirs are only a third of the republic). Many people went voluntarily..
8. There is no sense in the independence of Bashkortostan. Everything is peaceful here, everyone is happy with everything. Yes, there is a lot of oil in Bashkortostan, but it was not stolen, and Bashneft was voluntarily sold.
Tourism and manufacturing are actively developing in the republic now. Come to Bashkortostan, it's very beautiful here, beautiful nature and friendly people. and everything is not as you describe.

Independent Bashrtostan must be big power.
0:41 is ukraine really still fighting for independence. At this point it's for border integrity, but then what's the point? Give those lands to Russia, negotiate peace, and end the war.
An independent Bashkortostan may break Russia in two along the Ural, creating a massive power vacuum readily exploitable for the Asian giant. And be aware that Bashkortostan is in striking distance from a land force in Kazakhstan, should some Chinese garrison replace the current Russian garrison in the future. As to whether that's an opportunity or a threat, it will be up to the Bashkirs themselves to decide. Hopefully they will decide wisely.
This is why we, as in the west, should be there from step 1
@@HF7-AD Yet we in the East have been there (kind of) for millenia... Nowadays China is negotiating with Russia about the hegemony over Central Asia, but it seems that Moscow is still driving a hard bargain despite its loss on Ukrainian front.

Bashkortostan has been under Russia for far too long, we got close with the Russians now
The present time would be the best option for independence. With Russian forces currently engrossed in Ukraine those republics that have been oppressed would stand their best chance for change.
Bashkortostan should focus concentration on the land area toward Kazakhstan. This would aid in removing that Soviet induced isolation.
Waiting for the conflict to end in Ukraine would be an opportunity lost. The time is now. This also would politically effect Putin. The republics disenfranchised with the Russian federation need to have meetings to coordinate their strategies for independence.
just one more republic making a move to break away might inspire a third, then a fourth... Georgia, are you watching this?
sweet dreams. US and EU can not fully supply Ukraine war by now, how do you think they going to send arms for rebels inside Russia?
literally no one suggested that anyone send arms to rebels @@omnio7662 , only that republics which wish to break away should coordinate their efforts and make their moves at the same time. The Russian armed forces can't be everywhere at once.
Bashkortostan without russians is half Bashkir half Tatar whom not on very best terms with each other. If russians leave, it will immidiately spiral into civil war like in Bosnia, Afghan, Israel etc.
Абсолютно так
By this argument all of the nations before ww1 shouldn't get independence, because "population is quirky"
But in reality in future region could solve all its problems, and live with it.
For example Bosnia had bloody war, but now, you have diverse, but functional country.
Would it be better for Bosnians to stay in Yugoslavia, and continue to be opressed, in your opinion?
Completely false, literally all Turkic countries have other Turkic populations such as Turkiye has a large Azerbaijani population. Uzbekistan Kazakh population, Kazakhstan Uyghur population. But did they spiral into a civil war? NOPE! There isn't even slightest ethnic unrest between them, Turkic people share great similarities between their religion, culture and even their languages are mutually intelligible so for sure they would rather live in a Turkic country together than live in russia..
You might think so. But they are both Turkic and Sunni Muslims. Their cultures are also very similar. It can be said that they differ only in name. You Russians either sincerely admit that you are invaders of foreign lands, or leave them alone. Nobody asked the Russians to come and save them.

What are your thoughts on the recent protests against exploitive mining practises in the republic and non Slavic Russians being forced to fight at a higher percentage?
Poland is not a federation/confederation? Also that region of Poland doesn’t have large protests calling for independence, nor government officials, nor armed groups wanting it… so why any video?

I don’t think that this will ever get off the ground, but if it does then it would be deeply interesting.
