Bashkir nationalists create armed resistance in response to mobilization and under the slogans of the branch of the republic from Russia. This was written by the Russian edition “Layout”, which was talked with one of the leaders of nationalists Ruslan Gabbasov.
The article tells about two movements – this is the “Bashkir National Political Center”, or “Bashnatskpolit”, which is headed by Gabbasov and anonymous Bashkir partisans, who declared themselves against the backdrop of a war in Ukraine. Partisans demand to stop the act of “hidden ethnocide of the autochthonous population”, that is, to stop mobilization in the Bashkir and Tatar villages. They urge the military enlistment offices, the offices of United Russia and go underground. Officials have not yet commented on all these actions and statements.
Ruslan Gabbasov, with whom the Layout spoke, is the head of the Bashnappolit organization, it was created at the end of 2021. This is the successor of the largest national organization “Bashkort”, journalists note. Gabbasov supporters want to achieve sovereignty for Bashkortostan: for the region to leave Russia and become an independent state with its army.
Already after mobilization was announced in Russia, Bashnazpolit began to call “to go underground and wage a partisan war against the Putin government,” the layout notes. Gabbasov told the publication that after the start of mobilization, many Bashkir activists left Russia, those who stayed are hiding.
“They believe that this is not our war. Why should the Bashkirs die for the” Russian world “somewhere in Ukraine? The Ukrainians did nothing bad to us, and the empire always crushed us. They pressed our Bashkir language, they planted ours Leaders. Why should we fight for them now? ” he says.
