Let's also not forget that Rogozin, who is now head of Roscosmos, used to run on the natoanilist 'Moscow for Muscovites' slogan. But for some unfathomable reason, nobody tries to cancel Rogozin now. He didn't even had to apologise or explain how his view changed, nobody just gives a toss about it. He's a quirky but respectable bureaucrat on friendly terms with Putin. I wonder why he's treated differently, a real mystery.

Besides, Rogozin is the president's reliable.... well, not "right hand" probably, but a hand in any case. Being a pretend Hitler was just another assignment for him then as being pretend Elon Musk is now.

Raise up whatever demon you like as your anti-corruption crusader, but don't actually lie about what he is.

I know that the party network he constructed works in the north Caucasus and Tatarstan and his close allies are ingush and tatars, so for now actions speak louder than decade old videos His main slogan back in the day was 'Stop feeding Caucasus', with the implication that while Russians work and pay taxes, the barbaric Chechens only spend money from the federal budget. The truth is a lot of money went into rebuilding Chechnya after the war and getting on locals' good side with some extravagant projects to avoid another wave of radicalisation, and that's not that objectionable when you think about it. The real issue is that the getting on the good side part also includes things like complete disregard of law (as in even more blatantly than in the rest of Russia) and full political and financial support of the local tyrant that is Kadyrov and his cronies in return for 99% Putin/United Russia election results. Navalny, however, has indeed significantly changed his rhetoric since then and shifted his focus to actual issues that are common across all regions.

In the relationship between Caucasian minorities and Russian soldiers, the Caucasians are definitely the genocidal Nazi's. Jesus Christ that people are allowed to post that psychotic poo poo. Definitely putting to bed the any worries muslims might have about Navalny and his movement.

There's nothing "performative" about my concern for Caucasian minorities or disgust at people who consider Russians the "Jews" of the 1994 ethnic violence which is some neonazi poo poo. It really is. Take your posting grudge against another subforum to QCS this isn't the place for it.

I'm sure the undoubtedly talented spin-doctors of the Russian state if it does come to this will learn a lesson or two from the techniques employed by the Chinese state and will be able to adopt a rhetoric suitable for you, so that any concern you have for ethnic cleansing is instead turned into mild doubt if not outright, enthusiastic support.

You said that a Russian politician shooting a muslim woman was the equivalent of a jew shooting a nazi because the 1994 war, which include violent ethnic cleansing of Caucasian villages en masse, was fresh in Russians minds (i bet it loving was). I'm not posting about anything anyone's written except you, in this loving thread.

I believe everything the Uighurs I've talked to in Gulbag and at the UNHCR office have said about the situation in China. And about their circumstances here in Turkey.

If someone is downplaying Chinese Uyghur concentration camps (they are concentration camps, china is seriously genociding a whole nation of people), they should be permaed.
