- The Republic of Bashkortostan is little known outside of Russia and a few Turkic-language-speaking countries, but this could soon change. Ever since Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the century-long campaign for greater autonomy for Bashkortostan has increasingly turned into a campaign for full independence!
Here are the basic facts you need to know to understand more about this issue.

I hope an independent Bashkortostan could expand its borders so it’s not entirely surrounded by Russia.
That certainly is an issue, and one that could lead to conflict pretty easily. At lot depends on what happens in other regions. There was a sovereignty movement to Bashkortostan's west in the 90s if I remember correctly...

Great stuff Fredo! Another fantastically informative video. I love these 5 minute summaries. It will be so interesting to see his this all plays out if/when Russia loses in Ukraine.
Thanks! I'm so glad you like them. I wouldn't go so far as to say a breakup of Russia would be likely following a defeat, but I'm increasingly of the view that much of modern day Russia is a colonial construct that has survived the decolonisation of the last century. To me, that means it's likely to unwind at some point. I just hope it happens peacefully!

It's the map used by the Free Nations of Russia Forum. You can find out more here: freenationsrf.org/
@@FredoRockwell it's a lunatic map so loosely based on reality of national, administrational and historical borders, that one can confidently state it's based on some ill fantasies
There are lots of maps of this type being circulated. What exact borders they have isn't so important. If Russia did break up further it probably won't be along predictable lines.
Great video

After Ukraine bankrupts and kicks out Russia I'd like nothing better than to see other republics remove their neck from under Russia's boot. I will forever defend and support these efforts and encourage the US political system to support them as well.
After we in the US are bankrupted for supporting a war only the rich benefit from the US political system entirely supports the independence of Guam, America Somoa, pulling out of Guantanamo bay, giving Diego Garcia back to the Natives that we kicked out of there to put a U.S. base, independence of Puerto Rico, independence of Hawaii, independence of all Native American reservations and finally more autonomy to sections of Hispanic and African American majority areas of what ever is left of the US to get their neck off the American boot. Thanks for setting this precedent and as a Hispanic I will enjoy the culture and freedom the US government actively suppresses.

Free Idel-Ural!
Hello. Nice video, I was interested about the Autonomous Republics of Russia, including Bashkortostan. I have a few questions that you (or Any Bashkir/Other local ethnic person in the comments) may answer.
- Which are the autonomous Republics in Russia which declared sovereignty in the 90’s ? I know that Tatarstan and Ichkeria did, but I guess other republics did the same.
- Is the independence of Idel Ural rather than separate Volga Republics likely to happen ? I mean, they seem to be culturally different. Tatars and Bashkirs are Turkic, Udmurts and Erzyas are not. Would they understand each other culturally or Religiously ?
I hope not flooding you with hard questions like last time with Crimean Tatars 😅
Thank you in advance !
Hiya, I'll try my best to answer these but as you say someone with more personal knowledge may be better placed.
I don't have an exact count of how many ASSRs declared sovereignty, but the Russian-language Wikipedia entry on the Parade of Sovereignties lists a lot of them. It wasn't just inside the Russian SFSR - ASSRs in other republics did likewise. Part of the problem, I suspect, is what was meant by "sovereignty" seems to have varied from place to place. In some places, it was meant as a soft declaration of independence, and in others just an appeal for more autonomy.
Re Idel-Ural, I think this will depend on who you ask. There is a wider Free Idel-Ural movement, and I suspect if there was a move for indpendence someday one of more of the republics in the Volga Region may band together, but it's hard to say what would happen now. Certainly there could be strength in unity, but opposition movements vary in organizational strength from republic to republic (with the strongest being in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan).
@@FredoRockwell Okay ! ✅ Thank you ! Actually I didn’t know there was a Wikipedia page for the parade of sovereignties.
Thank you very much for answering !
What this guy didn’t tell you was it was only Chechnya. In Tatarstan they wanted more autonomy which is how the people took the sovereignty aspect of the referendum. They didn’t want independence Chechnya did though of course. Other regions in the north caucuses also had much smaller rebellions not for their republic but for a caliphate of the north caucuses. What this guy didn’t tell you was how serious these independent movements are. If we look at the US there are dozens of movements dedicated for the independence of US states, reservations and territories. However much like most independent movements they have been referenced only not necessarily acted on. Many countries also have these movements.
thanks for the story

Russia has a complicated past and its current set up of various “republics” is just as complicated.
Thank you for these bite size episodes, I know they only scratch the surface but they definitely get the intrigue going.
I don't think there's any way to predict what will happen in the next few years, but it's possible you might need to set aside more space for your collection of national flags!
@@FredoRockwell any excuse to buy even more flags!
amazing how turks started as the huns in northern china n mongolia n are now all over the world.
0:50 the earliest findings indicate they were there in mid 6th Century. Look at the proto Turkic bulgars in the area as a start.
Bashkurdistan ☀
If suddenly there is democracy on the territory of present-day Russia and people are free to determine their national identity, then most of those who are now called Bashkirs will become ... Tatars. Given that even according to false modern statistics, a significant part of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan is Tatars, then Tatars will be the absolute majority. Mr. Gabbasov is the same Tatarophob as the current Moscow governors of Bashkortostan.

Are a documentary on Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Texas who are looking for independence
If you're asking if I've made videos on those movements, yes to Hawaii and Texas (see the video about independence movements in the United States). I'll get to Puerto Rico eventually, but the next US possession I want to cover is Guam as their situation is more serious.
Article 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 1, Public calls for actions aimed at violating the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation
Why do you think Russia has a colonial structure? What makes Russia different from countries like Yugoslavia, the Habsburg Empire or today's UK?
I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't know much about the situation and would be interested in hearing your reasons.
I would say Russia has a colonial structure because there are dozens of colonies ruled by a dominant ethnic group. Russia's empire is different from the British Empire of the 19th and 20th centuries because it was reached on horseback and not by ship, but was still very much a colonial empire from that era that has survived. Another major difference is that Russia has invested much more in "Russification" - trying to erase the local culture and language in colonies.
England did this to Wales a thousand years ago, and also invaded Scotland many times, but today you are not a second-class citizen in the UK if you are from countries other than England. Just see my video about Alexi Ivanov in Komi to see how ethnic minorities are treated in Russia. That's why I would say it has a colonial structure. :)
@@FredoRockwell I am a bashkir, we study the bashkir language in schools, universities if the specialty is philology, there are books in the Bashkir language...foreigners judge the deep peoples of Russia as the second-class, because they judge it from their own point of view, they do not want to understand that the country is multinational, and all peoples respect each other...and nazis like Gabbasov consider themselves "pure-blooded", they are anti-soviets and chauvinists who talk about oppression, and if this is true for the times of the Russian Empire, then universities (in one of which I study) and production were built under the USSR, the ideology proclaimed the friendship of peoples...and these nazis (Gabbasov and others) are stuck in the past and are trying to denigrate the Soviet past, on which everyone is pouring dirt anyway.

ok juicer. you wish
0:17 Colonial structure ? Such as ? What is so colonial about modern russia ? Infact the russian empire even wasnt that colonial sorry but most of siberia was empty when the russian began to expand it, some historians estimate that the number of people who lived in it didnt exceed 300.000.
0:22 wet dream that will never happen
0:43 well its not the best option and how can a movement that is suppose to be figthing for the people know what the people want when its not even in the republic, the movement itself is more of foreign project than actual initiative by natives at this point. Btw all the mentioned development has become a realitu thanks to mo ey from moscow simce the days of tge russian empire through soviet times to this day.
1:56 it actualy did they were able to speak and learn their language just as they are able to today and were able to practice their culture. The only thing forbidden was practicing their faith though that was forbidden for all other people in the soviet union
2:09 only one of the showed here is a region the others are separate nations that were within the ussr
2:14 it really is a parade of naive thought
3:11 nope, they have autonomy more than subjects of other federated nations, you can go ahed and see the administrative divisions and how the republic functions
3:56 so all of this wouldnt be a problem if lets say the republic was independent, the local business would have still destroyed the mountain for profit and this guy would still be in trouble but it wont be in russia.
Also how fantastic another politicaly correct movement with yet more populist messages which they themselves probably dont understand or stand for.
4:22 yes because they are art of russia and the current conflict concerns all of russia and sorry but burst the whole ,,minorities against the war" narrative but there buryats who proudly serve in the army and display it so how many of them have been drafted from the republic ? Very little as the number of deaths of bashkir soldier from the front is only 700
4:29 when they do something to you will then change your mind ? The conflict concerns all of russia.
4:35 yes again not true they are fully free to speak and learn their language
5:06 growing as if it some massive movemen that involves majority of the populace
5:18 so basiclay anti russia movement attempting to brake russia, legally thats called a terrorist organisation
Да тут авторы отрабатывают американские гранты, а зрители сидят слюни пускают, думают, что турки, американцы или европейцы позволят кому-то сохранить идентичность в случае получения самостийности
calling for that region to be independent is like calling for Texas to be Independent? why the double standard? Clearly Russia has all sovereign right for the regions.
Its best if Russia is united and strong and no allow these small states to secede...they they could hope to become is vassals of foreign powers.
I've recently published a video about the Texas independence movement - check it out! 🙂
I'm not sure what the double standard you are refers to. The video doesn't explicitly call for Bashkortostan independence.
@@FredoRockwellwhy don't you make a video about the genocide of the people in Ğaza?

FREE BASHKORTOSTAN
Don't forget please there is a lot of tatar people. Average population of tatars bashkortsand russian equally and bashkort national policy is how to assimilate tatars to bashkort.
That's it
Thanks for your comment! I mention the large Tatar population in Bashkortostan in the video, but I don't go into any detail this is true. I'm aware it's a complex issue and that my understanding is not complete. I've read that some of the Tartar speakers speak a dialect which is not the common dialect in Tatarstan, and has some links with Baskir, but I'm not sure if this. Regarding assimilation, I've been told the opposite by the Bashkir leaders I've spoken to, and that they aspire for a multiethnic state. At this point I think it's difficult to say what official policy would be though. Can I ask, are you a resident of Bashkortostan or a nearby region?
Why not write about Tatarism? How do you rewrite other Turkic peoples into Tatars? Bashkirs of the northwest speak only a similar language to yours, but do not consider themselves Tatars, about Nogais, Mishars, Siberian Turks, assimilated Finno-Ugrics of the Volga region??? By aposses others, you don't see your sins. Now is not the time to talk about it at all. We have a common enemy and a common struggle.
@@FredoRockwell both of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan you can ask me if you have questions I can advice in that subject

Your video is misinformation. The French, England, USA, Denmark and etc have many territories they had to fight to conquer. It’s embarrassing that you choose to be inconsistent based off what is convenient for you. If you want to free Bashkortostan so badly free Puerto Rico, Guam, and etc.
don't go where you don't understand. Your dry facts and video clippings from various events. It is very interesting what your goals are when creating provocative videos about peoples in a country in which you have not even been and have not lived.
Vladimir Putin has never lived in Ukraine, and he clearly doesn't understand the place. Do you condemn his invasion or only people who make videos?
@@FredoRockwell in any case, we speak the same language - Slavic, and understand each other much better. And you climb with your pseudo-analyses into the regions of the country where you have never been at all, and you don’t know what a multinational country is. Study the geography of your country, there are definitely people there that your country exterminated.
So you don't condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine because the languages have similar roots? Using this logic, Russia should withdraw from all regions with Turkic, Mongolian, and Finno-Ugric languages.
If your last whataboutism comment is referring to the American Indians, I've covered the independence movement of the Oglala Sioux in another video. I also covered lots of other independence movements in the US that have received funding from the Russian government. Funny that.
@@FredoRockwell you still haven't answered the question from the first comment. Apparently you like to answer questions with a question. What are your goals when creating pseudo videos? what do you want to say with this? what are you leading to? I already understood that you are trying to close my comments with your own, hiding behind the "defender" of Ukraine. And again "pseudo"
You didn't ask a question in your first comment. There was no question to answer.
I create videos on topics that interest me. Sometimes lots of people watch them, but sometimes they don't. As for what I want to say, I usually make this clear in the videos themselves. I'm not sure what you mean by "pseudo," but if you're saying my videos aren't genuine in some way, I'm not sure what that way could be, but that's a conclusion you are free to draw.
I haven't "closed" your comments. I've responded to the all. I don't claim to be a defender of Ukraine, at least not in a meaningful way, but I do admire the way the Ukrainian people have fought to maintain their independence from an aggressive and unprovoked invasion.
stop lying! 😡 I am from Ufa Bashkortostan. Bashkortostan = Great Russia, and we live well and amicably ❤
перестань лгать! Я из Уфы Башкортостан. Башкортостан = Великая Россия, и мы живем хорошо и дружно.
What have I lied about?
That's a pretty juvenile video.
@@FredoRockwell 1. Beginning of the video. Bashkortostan actively supports the president.
Look at the formations: Dostavalovtsy, Shaymuratov, Salavat Yulaev. Watching a lot of videos, even from the mobilized, how they sing songs and play the harmonica is joyful.
2. We do not have those who are against it. I do not know a single person from my city of Ufa, except for one strange girl.
3. In our city there is a huge Bashkir theater, like a castle, signs in shops in two languages, a lyceum in the Bashkir language, in schools you can learn two languages. We live together.
We have Russians + Bashkirs getting married, mixing blood = a healthy nation (and not like in Europe in the Middle Ages, their own on their own).
Look at the annual festival - the Heart of Eurasia, it has a whole day of songs and dances of all the peoples of Eurasia. We live in harmony, we welcome the friendship of peoples, this is our pride.
3. Murtaza Rakhimov is neither good nor bad, he did little, Ufa began to change dramatically for the better since 2015, when the SCO and BRICS were held here. Rakhimov's son, Ural Razimov, misbehaved and is now hiding in Europe for bribes and fraud. But even despite this, the President supported Rakhimov and wished the development of his region.
In 2022, Rakhimov died, Putin came to Ufa, expressed his condolences - as a friend and comrade - watch the video on CZcams.
3. There were no more than 40 people in Bashkort. While the majority is over 1,000,000 people. There are crazy people like that in every country. But we have most of Bashkiria for Russia.
4. Shikhany: Kushtau, Taratau, Yugantau. After the appearance of activists in the protection of natural monuments, disagreements broke out between the soda corporation and the activists. After the information reached the Federation = the development of shikhans was stopped, the President scolded the head of Bashkiria for unrest and the development of natural monuments.
Your video = this is very unreliable information. It's all taken out of context.
even Zaki Validi. You know that in Ufa there is a street named after Zaki Validi. This is because the Federation supports the regions, it is not afraid of the Bashkirs, we are a friendly people.
And your "self-determination" ha ha
I suggest that the Indians record a video about self-determination and drive the Americans out of the continent. After all, it belongs to the Indians.
And here, in Bashkiria, a peace treaty was signed almost 500 years ago. If not for the Russian Empire, the Bashkirs might not have become at all (the Nagai khans attacked the Bashkirs). They asked for help. In our city - Ufa there is a monument about the date of signing the treaty of friendship and accession (almost 500 years ago) - the Monument of Friendship.
@@KVOl I didn't mention "self-determination." Where did you get that? Did you confuse my video with someone elses?
@Kalashnikova I'm happy to continue our discussion, but I'm not happy for the comment section in my video to be used to promote war crimes. I'm going to remove any links to pro-invasion propaganda.
