Bashkortostan - the 5 minute guide

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.

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.

Hello from the Republic of Sakha (Yakutsk). Please made video about Sakha. We Sakha same situation like Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

[ubckzsi]

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.
