Buryats speak out against the war
The president of the foundation says that more and more Buryats have begun to speak out against the war with Ukraine. At the very beginning of the Russian aggression, there were very few such people. The Ministry of Justice of Russia even recognized Ms. Garmazhapova as a foreign agent of Ukraine.
Now, fortunately, every week we publish several interviews with the Buryats, who are now abroad and categorically oppose the war in Ukraine. They say that this war is absolutely criminal,” said Garmazhapova.
According to the activist, this is not only the intelligentsia, because there are people from the villages, former teachers and even former officials. The Buryats say that this war is an intervention on the territory of the sovereign state of Ukraine and talk about the imperial nature of the conflict.
Mass migration of the Buryats 100 years ago

Kazakhs they talk about ethnocide
The President of the Free Buryatia Foundation said that she lived in Kazakhstan for two and a half months and talked a lot with the locals. According to her, the Kazakhs are well aware of the problem of xenophobia and racism in Russia itself, so they are surprised how Russia decided to denazify Ukraine, having such problems.
Ordinary Kazakhs sympathize with Ukraine, because they associate themselves with Ukraine, because they also survived the Holodomor, they also lived in the USSR with the destruction of their languages, culture and history,” the activist explained.
According to Garmazhapova, in view of the open According to the data, the greatest losses of Russian Asians in the war with Ukraine are not “combat Buryats”, but Kazakhs. In Kazakhstan, they are well aware of this and talk about ethnocide.
Fodder for Russians
“If you are a Russian, in Kazakhstan this is difficult, because of the history and attitude of Russians towards visitors. But Kazakhs treat Asians differently. Therefore, the likelihood that you rent an apartment in Kazakhstan with an Asian type of face is much higher,” shared President of the foundation .
In her opinion, now Russians in Kazakhstan are faced with the same attitude with which they treated Asians in Russia. For example, they rented housing only to people with a “Slavic appearance”.
In Moscow and St. Petersburg, this is a total problem raised by the Buryats, Yakuts, and Tuvans. I hope that this will become a trigger for the Russians so that they don’t do this again,” Aleksandra Garmazhapova summed up.
