The empire cannot be destroyed from the outside until it destroys itself from within. A new edition of the program “Implementation of State National Policy in the Republic of Tatarstan”, no longer sets the task of strengthening the Tatarstan identity, and the main goal of the new program is only “strengthening the all-Russian civic identity and the unity of the multinational Russian nation” – is definitely a joint venture. It is especially important to assimilate ethnic groups in new settings, in particular different ethnic groups in Tatarstan.
In connection with the full-scale Russian invasion of sovereign Ukraine, the element of self-identification for representatives of all nations enslaved by Russia with their people, history and traditions has increased, and the idea of self-awareness is spreading to ever larger masses of the population within Russia. This is due, firstly, to the fact that the concept of “Russian” has become identical to the allegories “occupier, aggressor, invader” and politically conscious people, intellectuals, intelligentsia and simply active youth do not want to identify themselves with these allegories, which automatically leads them to their own roots.
Many organizations were organized abroad, such as the League of Free Nations, the Forum of Free Peoples of Post-Russia (now States), the Free Idel-Urals and separately the national liberation movements of their republics and regions. The main basis of our movements is the right to self-determination and the statement that we are not Russians, but captive nations. In addition to the fact that Russia is a unitary state, which is gradually turning into an ultra-totalitarian-terrorist formation of the 1937 bloody Stalin era, in the face of upcoming economic and political difficulties, and major military losses, the authorities need to consolidate all people under one idea – an external enemy and one people. The only time in history when they managed to do this was in the Soviet Union. People of all nationalities were depersonalized by the “Soviet Man” brand. The Russian government works according to the old KGB manuals of its teachers, therefore even now laws, for example, this project “Implementation of state national policy in the Republic of Tatarstan” depersonalize not only the Tatar nation but also the Tatarstan policy (republican), by investing all the funds and propaganda into an “all-Russian” identity.
This topic is constantly being actively raised at all international forums, platforms, and conferences by the representative of the free Idel-Ural movement in Poland Nafis Kashapov, the chairman of the All-Russian Cultural Center Farit Zakiev and Aida Abdrakhmanova, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Independent Tatarstan in exile on national religious issues. By using these methods, the Moscow authorities are thinking about stopping the process of self-determination of the republics and regions, but they are mistaken. They themselves laid the “mine” long ago – this is theft and repression of the people, the ban on the national language in educational institutions and a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, after which the power in the Kremlin itself was marginalized in the eyes of the international community, and the problem of republics, regions and nations came to the foreground nationally and internationally.
The process of decolonization of Russia has already begun and the time of the Russian Empire is coming to an end, and in this hysteria the regime is making various repressive and erroneous decisions, with which they are only bringing their end closer!
