Many of my fellow tribesmen still reject the idea of Kalmykia’s independence from the Terrorist Organization called the “Russian Federation”. They experience cognitive dissonance at the words “freedom and independence” when they meet those who do not support their narrative that the Republic is a subsidized region, not wanting to rack their brains about the causes of this problem. In their opinion, a population of 270 thousand has no chance of building their own independent state from Muscovy. It turns out that the Kalmyks adopted from the Russian slaves the ideology that the tsar, no matter who he was, knew perfectly well how to live for his serfs. Okay, the Russians, who were slaves for centuries and recognized only the carrot and stick, but what is happening to the proud Oirat-Kalmyk people, who have always strived to have their own independence? The question, of course, is rhetorical. Here, smart guys tried to convince me that I was wrong, that the Kalmyk Khan Ayuka supposedly had to reckon with the Russian tsars, without having any understanding of the history of his people and completely accepting that very falsified history of the State of Rossiysky.
Meanwhile, Kalmyk men are used again and again as cannon fodder in the criminal war against Ukraine, and the population of the Republic itself is up to its ears in debt, cut off from drinking water and has an eternal problem with electricity. It turns out that no one sees anything and everyone is happy with everything. Officials continue to rob their people. But for some reason, few people think that all the taxes that the residents of Kalmykia regularly pay, and can be called robbery, natural resources, everything flows to Moscow, the capital of the Prison of Nations. That is, let medicine, education and the economy be destroyed, but Muscovites should live better than all the national republics.
The word “Republic” implies a free independent state with its own laws, where the people feel like masters of their land, not worrying about the future of their native language, customs and traditions. However, do the Kalmyk people themselves experience such feelings? Rather no than yes. I agree that the main population of Kalmykia is Kalmyks, but the situation with the above-mentioned problems forces young people to leave their native land in search of a better life. As a result, the Kalmyk language is on the verge of extinction, local enthusiasts are making efforts to make it popular, but things do not go further, since Muscovites are doing everything possible to ensure that it is completely lost.
Let’s think: “If the Republic of Kalmykia were a free state, would every resident know their native language, history, customs and traditions, which have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries?” The answer suggests itself: ABSOLUTELY! Let’s imagine the following situation: An enemy comes to the Republic of Kalmykia and forbids the free people to speak their language, practice their religion, and adhere to their customs and traditions. Instead, he imposes his language, culture and traditions, thereby instilling his slave mentality in the once freedom-loving Oirat-Kalmyk people. Is this a violation of human rights and a crime? OF COURSE! In the event of disobedience and resistance, he is forcibly deported from his native lands to cold Siberia, and the territory is abolished and divided between neighboring regions. This is how everything native is forgotten, and the new generation grows up as infantile people who don’t care what happens to their people, the main thing is that they speak the language of the occupiers and aggressors perfectly and love their birch trees.
The Oirat-Kalmyk people simply must be free and independent from Rashka if they really want their language and traditions to be preserved and passed on from their ancestors to their descendants. For now, I see the opposite. Unfortunately, living abroad in free democratic countries, a considerable part of my people are hostages of the Russian world and thus shout in every possible way that Kalmykia’s independence is not needed. Like, let it remain in the prison of nations while wishing their Republic a wonderful and bright future in the form of loans, a shortage of drinking water and population decline through death on foreign soil with the blessing of Russian chauvinists.
