There’s been much speculation that the war in Ukraine could destabilise Russia. So far, though, we’ve seen little sign of this happening. But could the recent demonstrations in Bashkortostan be a turning point? As always, I look forward to your thoughts and comments below.

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

This is potentially misleading, if people don't realize that "republic" is just one type of federal subject of Russia, the most populous of which is actually the Federal City of Moscow, which has about 13 million people, and Bashkhortostan is actuallly the 7th most populous federal subject of Russia.

Unlikely, to be fair. Russia (except the Caucasus) hasn't seen any serious separatist movements since forever. Central power is really strong. Local initiative might gain weight only after the Kremlin starts losing its grip and the elites are ready to light the fuse. It seems pretty far from it at the moment.

There are very few federal subjects of Russia that don't count Russians as their largest ethnic group. Even Baskortostan had more Russians than Bashkirs as of the last census.

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.

In the past 10 years, Ufa had a really major development projects and the city itself improved very well. New housing projects, medical centers and and a lot of other important infrastructure projects were completed. So those couple of hundreds that went to a kind of a "protest"(who knows what they were protesting for) will not really change something and they shouldn't, becuae the majority is pro Russian.

Bashkir is here. Thank you for such a detailed analysis of our events. The events that actually took place were very significant for us and I think this is just the beginning. In fact, the protests in Bashkortostan were a surprise for the authorities, but not for us. We know our people and our character. These protests were not only for the release of Fail Alsynov, but also for fair treatment of our Bashkir people. Now Russia is oppressing our people. Massive repressions are being carried out against dissenters. Our natural resources, which you mentioned in the video, do not actually belong to us, but Russia extracts them and it also keeps the money for itself. We are essentially a colony. Although the Constitution says otherwise, we are truly a colony. We have shown more than once that we will not put up with injustice on our land. In 1917, we were the first to form an autonomous national republic, which you mentioned in the video. We were the first republic formed in the Soviet state and the only republic that was formed thanks to contractual conditions; all other republics were formed by decree. We have repeatedly rebelled and waged war with Russia for our rights, for our land and the right to be masters of our land. We are sorry that many associate us with Russia, although even the Constitution of the Republic of Bashkortostan says that we are a state. We hope for justice and the opportunity to be ourselves. Thanks to the whole world for your support!

Thank you so much for your comment. Sadly, three have been too many comments from Russians trolls and Putin apologists. It is clear that Bashkortostan has been exploited. I have long believed that Russia is a colonial enterprise as much as the British Empire was, and the French, Belgian, Portuguese, Spanish, etc. it is remarkable how few see this, especially in many former colonial territories, where the old Soviet Union, and now Russia, did a great job of persuading them that it was anti-imperialism.

@@JamesKerLindsay Thank you for your answer. In fact, it is true that many trolls write pro-russian comments. Any national resistance or disagreement with the current government is immediately met with hostility. There is no understanding and desire for constructive dialogue. Unfortunately, such comments are often written not by bots, but by real people who really believe in the Kremlin’s propaganda. You correctly noted that Russia is in fact a colonial empire. They managed to hide this fact with the screen of a “multinational federation”, where the rights of peoples are supposedly respected. We must also remember the Soviet legacy, when the USSR acted as a supporter of decolonization. We hope that the world will know the truth about who the empire really is now and it is not by chance that it is called the prison of nations.

The Russian Empire never underwent decolonization like the British and European empires did. They lost control of 14 colonies in 1991, and there are still 21 national republics left to go. Some were subjugated and Russified for centuries, but then so were many former Soviet states. Those states also had many Russian settlers there, and Putin laments that loss to this day.

I'm so glad you've covered this issue! Alsynov's appeal will be held in the capital, Ufa. The date isn't set yet, but I think that's another flashpoint for more protests. Another issue I've not seen raised is what happens when the fighting in Ukraine ends, and the large number is Bashkir soldiers are demobilized and return home. Demobilization, especially after a defeat, is historically a dangerous moment for any regime. If the situation in Bashkortostan is already tense before they return, it's easy to see things destabilizing. There is already a video of Bashkir soldiers in the Russian army calling on Alsynov's release circulating. Two more points: I don't doubt there is tension on the ground between Bashkirs and Tatars, but the former leadership of Bashkort is on very good terms with Tartar independence leaders. In the Free Idel Ural movement, it's understood that the entire South Volga region will need to work together to break loose from Moscow. Last point: I put the Reuters journalist from 9:25 in touch with my friend and Bashkort cofounder Ruslan Gabbasov, who he quotes from an interview with in the article. I just wanted to flex on that! 💪😂

A follow-up question would be: If this protest is comparable to the protests in Latvia and Kazachstan in 1986 do you think that Russia can keep itself together or could this potentially be the start of the end as the protest in Latvia and Kazachstan were for the Soviet Union?

Thank you so much for the kind comments. I really appreciate it! Great suggestion. I have wanted to do this for ages. I agree. It is just as much a case of colonisation as European colonisation elsewhere, and yet it has been oddly overlooked. Even many countries in the global south seem to ignore Russia’s (ongoing) colonial heritage.

There is widespread resentment of Russian chauvinism across Central Asia and Siberia. The disproportionate numbers of ethnic minorities being sent to die in Ukraine is one of the leading factors in this simmering tension. Let’s hope indigenous people of RF can fight this Russification.

Russia is paying a lot for people to join the military, which is more likely to attract people in less developed regions with more minorities. It isn’t hard to imagine how those people will be used on the battlefield. This isn’t the first time of resentment from Russification emerges and won’t be the last. Russia is lot more subtle on this than the Soviet Union so such incidents have been kept on check. As suggested by professor things have also quieted down its hard to imagine this incident being much different. The Wagner incident showed Russia is less divided than expected. It would be interesting if professor may share some insight into the internal status of Ukraine.

Those people will be used on battlefield just like any others exactly because it troublesome to recruit new - any heavy loses will result in a problems for a commander. Also those people are even more valuable than recruits from cities as they often more fit, mentally tough, experienced in hunting and all of them have served prior to mobilisation. And more motivated, even if financially. Year ago I've a talk with man from Sakha - he was on medical leave after being hit by mine that cost him few teeth and light wounds in a leg. He recieved compensation which allowed him to pay off mortgage and buy furnishing for new appartment. At the time he was waiting for MOD's comission to decide if he is fit for service or not. And he said: "If they call me again, I will go - never in my life I'll earn here that much. I know what it is there - it is scary as hell, but i'll go". Kinda confusing at first, but after some thought I realised what he meant: if he worked for rest of his life where he lives, most likely he will end up in poverty on pension. But if he goes again he will earn enough for decent life... or die - either way he will not worry about starving in late years. Win-win situation considering circumstances. And that is exactly how recruitment works all around the world - people go to the army because they see no other way to break from poverty.

Love that you covered this underreported topic! Despite the Bashkir being a minority in their own republic, I believe there is a provision dating back to the days of the federative treaty that the president of Bashkortostan must be a Bashkir speaker thus marginalising Tatars and Russians to degree within the constituent republic. The Kremlin has long sought to keep a lid on any Bashkir nationalism and like Tatarstan, the Chechen wars were meant to be a lesson to any minorities even contemplating one day breaking away from the federation.

Again, I always seem to come to these videos from mainly a linguistic POV but as a linguist and well a nerd when it comes to languages you can't help but also start to become interested in other aspects of the lives of speakers of languages you find interesting. So after finding Bashkir a very interesting language (it has the unvoiced and voiced TH sounds (dental fricatives) for instance), the whole issue of Bashkortostan also became interesting to me. But I had no idea about these protests so I'd like to thank you, Professor Ker-Lindsay, for shedding a bit of light on them. I think I agree with your opinions on the issue, it's certainly not unexpected but not necessarily an indication of Russia collapsing. Ultimately, only time will tell though.

Thanks so much. It’s always great when people come to these issues from a very different disciplinary perspective. Linguistics is fascinating.

Interesting to hear about the TH sounds. They don’t exist in Turkish.

@@JamesKerLindsay Well, I don't know all these details by heart so some googling and "wikipedia-ing" was involved. Bashkir is for sure a Kipchak languages like Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and neighbouring Tatar (and others). I'm however not completely sure how differently Russian has influenced Bashkir compared to other Turkic languages (sans Turkish of course) but I doubt it's probably very similar. As for the dental fricatives, yes, they are rare and afaik the only other Turkic language which has them is Turkmen (that is Turkmen of Turkmenistan). From what I gather, and again a few grains of salt, they come from /s z/, where these phonemes in non-initial position become fricatives; Bashkir then went one step further and turned initial s into h, so where Tatar has süz for word, Bashkir has hüð. But Bashkir then developed a new /s/ from ç, so tree which is ağaç in Turkish is ağas in Bashkir (I'm transliterating Bashkir from Cyrillic into Latin btw.) So yeah, Bashkir is truly fascinating. And yes, as you can tell, I could talk about this all day.

You mention the tensions between Tatars and Bashkirs. That's something I'd like to understand better. My impression is the two groups speak mutually comprehensible languages. It doesn't follow that they'd necessarily get on with each other but it's interesting to know more. It's easy to think of a huge area of the map as "Turkestan" without taking account of potential frictions between groups. It would also be interesting to know how far the pattern is replicated across Russia and to what extent it might be a glue keeping the country together (if different groups are as hostile to each other as to Russians) .

В остальных городах и республиках все спокойно! Вы лучше за своими массовыми протестами наблюдайте, например в Германии, во Франции! Как стервятники ждёте добычи, наблюдаете! Не дождетесь распада России!

Mосковская орда должна распасться т к смысла в ее существовании нет. Нынешняя элита Неспосoбна на Реформы, общество неспособно на революцию, поэтому будет продолжаться гниение, которое закончится распадом, т к и затяжное гниение тоже всех утомит. Сегодня московская орда занимает первое место в мире: ■ по уровню умышленных убийств; ■ по числу курящих детей и подростков; ■ по числу взяток при поступлении в вyзы; ■ по темпам роста табакокурения; ■ по аварийности на дорогах; ■ по смертности от самоубийств среди подростков 15-19 лет; ■ по абсолютной величине убыли населения; ■ по количеству самоубийств среди пожилых людей; ■ по числу разводов и количеству детей, рожденных вне брака; ■ по числу детей, брошенных родителями; ■ по смертности от заболеваний сердечно-сосудистой системы; ■ по числу пациентов с заболеваниями психики; ■ по объемам торговли людьми; ■ по количеству абортов и материнской смертности; ■ по объёму потребления героина; ■ по потреблению спирта и спиртосодержащей продукции; ■ по продажам крепкого алкоголя; ■ по темпам прироста ВИЧ-инфицированных; ■ по количеству авиакатастроф (в 13 раз больше среднемирового уровня); ■ по числу миллиардеров, преследуемых правоохранительными органами; With cost of “black gold” at 15-23 dollars per barrel, the USSR economy collapsed, and the sovok itself collapsed, and the "golden" horde ("russia") budget can only be fulfilled only with oil price at $ 42.4 and higher

Thank you so much! :-) Great question about the Bashkirs and the Tatars. They obviously share a lot in common. Their languages are very closely related. They are also both Sunni Muslims. However, it appears that there are deeper-rooted tensions between them. As you suggest, this could be manufactured by Russia. A divide and rule tactic. I would love to find out more about this. But there is surprisingly little available.

It is interesting to consider how Ukraine could respond to this. In the run up to the current war, Russia was actively supporting groups in Ukraine that were seeking independence as a way to sow discord and have a "reason" to become actively involved. Ukraine could potentially return the favor by actively supporting dissident groups in Russia. We know they provided help to the militias that performed cross boarder raids, so it is not a stretch to think they could help people deeper within Russia.

Дорогой Артур! В Украине восхищены Вашим мужеством, мужеством башкирского народа. То, что делает путинский фашистский режим, - свидетельство его слабости, а не силы. К таким жестоким подавлением протестов против фашистской политики России прибегают тогда, когда эти фашисты осознают, что им приходит конец. Ваша поддержка Украины подрывает военные силы России, ведь Путин боится, что угнетенные, но непокоренные народы на территории России, по Вашему примеру тоже восстанут против режима Путина. В таком случае ему нужно сосредоточивать свои войска в Башкортостане, Татарстане, на Чукотке, в Республике Сахо, Тыве, Бурятии, на Кавказе, в Карелии, на Кубане и других районах, что распыляет его военные силы, ослабляет их и таким способом укрепляет мощь Вооруженных Сил Украины, их наступление на фронтах в Украине. А каждая победа Вооруженных Сил Украины в российско-украинской войне - это поддержка Национально-Освободительных Движений башкирцев, якутов, бурят, карелов, дагестанцев, осетин, ингушей, других нерусских народов и наоборот ваша борьба за свою Независимость - это поддержка Украины в нынешней российско-украинской войне. Поэтому нужно и на территориях других республик в России продолжать призыв башкирской женщины к башкирцам, которые воюют на фронтах российско-украинской войны, возвращаться домой и защищать свою Родину, кто не может возвратиться на Родину в Башкортостан пусть добровольно сдаются в плен (в Украине с пленными обращаются соответственно всех международных законов, их не пытают, они имеют возможность поддерживать связь с родными, их нормально кормят, они находятся в нормальных человеческих бытових условиях, таким образом они спасут себе жизнь и не будут погибать за своего поработителя Путина и враждебную вам Россию). Нужно также любыми способами срывать призовы представителей нерусских национальностей на войну в Украине, что объединит нас в борьбе за нашу свободу и будет подрывать путинский режим изнутри. Не забывайте, что на нашей стороне страны НАТО, Япония, Австралия и другие народы. Только на совещаниях по помощи Украине в немецком городе Рамштайне в Германии принимают участие министры обороны и другие высокопоставленные представители более 50 стран Европы и других стран мира. В этом единстве - наша сила, залог нашей победы. Конечно же, без потерь не обойдется. На войне Украина теряет сотни тысяч наших лучших синовей и дочерей. Но это значительно меньше, чем за всю историю окупации Россией Украины. Наша общая победа над фашистской Россией положит конец таким жертвам. В Украине тоже было сведено на нет преподавание украинского языка и литературы в школах. Тоже было введено выбор изучать или не изучать украинский язык, а преподавание русского языка, от изучения которого никто не освобождался, оплачивалось значительно выше, чем украинского, в государственных учреждениях все деловодство, собрания, совещания и т.п. велось на русском языке. В большинстве городов преподавание в школах всех предметов велось на русском языке. Нинче у нас завершен перевод преподавания в школах и других средних и высших учебных заведениях с русского на украинский язык. Русский язык в школах уже совсем не преподается и закрыта специальность "русский язык и литература" , тоесть закрыта подготовка в университетах учителей русского языка и литературы для работы в школах. Это стало возможным только в Независимой Украине. Мы с В А М И, дорогие башкирские, татарские, чувашские, якутские, тывынские, бурятские, корякские, дагестанские, ингушетские, калмыкские, осетинские, карельские, чеченские, даргинские и другие братья!!! Наша общая победа над фашистской Россией уже у нас на пороге!!! Россия ПАДЕТ, порабощенные, но несломленные ей народы уже ПРИОБРЕТАЮТ СВОЮ СВОБОДУ!!!

Then the Muscovites rebranded as they took Kyiv for the first time, and since forth started insisting that they are heirs to Rus’, which is wholly untrue. They are slavicised finns, a former colony of Rus', that rebelled and collaborated with the mongols.

It's always so weird as an American to hear about ethnic tensions in other countries. Every time it seems like one ethnically provocative protest, or riot, or just mass movement is all it takes to bring other countries down. Maybe that's just an American perspective due to my media algo but it seems like we have a couple of those every week. It's shocking honestly. I'm curious what others think. Especially from other countries.

An interesting assessment of the lingering residual aspects of the Imperial/Soviet/Russian empires. Russia's war in Ukraine has most likely removed the some of the cultural veneer in Russia society, and this type of acrimony is normal experience in any society engaged in an armed conflict. But ultimately the authoritarian type of governance that people of these "empires" have had for centuries has most likely created a cultural aspect of obedience in citizens of the Russian Federation today and we could assume this regional discontent is most likely only temporary. As always thanks for the excellent content.
