“ Russia is not a “nation”. It's the last colonial empire. Its metropole is localised in the Fürstenstadt of Moscow. It is the northernmost megapolis of the world, located furthest from the waterways and on the infertile soil. It is too expensive to feed
“ Russian Federation is the extreme anomaly. It is the last European colonial empire that still continues to exist. Some of these colonies are predominantly white, others are POC-populated. All of them however, should receive a chance for independence from the metropole.
“ Putin cannot announce a general mobilization, since that would be an admission that he is losing the war. It would too overtly break the social contract according to which the poor, the Asians, and forcibly mobilized Ukrainians do the dying.
- “When foreigners casually drop ‘bombing of kyiv’ these pics always come to mind. this is what #RussianColonialism did to chechnya and grozny when they tried to leave the empire in 2000. a war crime of horrific scale, but the rest of the world was like ‘meh’, so moscow continued” [3] PDF
- Kamil Galeev, “National Divorce: Within the next year Russia will spiral into a deep political crisis. There is a nonzero chance that it may scale up existing separatist tendencies leading to the breakup of the empire. In this thread I will outline a model of how this process could look like🧵” (thread) (PDF), 2022-12-08

Hi, I'm Russian.
Chechens fought for independence, federal govt. brutally repressed them and installed a dictator.
Albert Razin of Udmurtia commited self-immolation as a protest against RU language policies.
Bashkortostani activist Liliya Chanysheva been in prison for 400 days.
Koreans, Jews, Armenians and other dispersed people have no recognition within Russia.
Few remaining Ainu are not recognized as an indigenous people of the north.
It's activists who collected money to send the last Ket language singer Aleksandr Kotusov to a hospital.
Karelian language has no official status within Karelia. Resource extraction is about to happen in Fedorova Tundra, a sacred place for Sami of the north. Nations of Russia and Crimean Tatars of occupied Crimea are disproportionally mobilized to fight Russia's genocidal war.
