The Kremlin worked to catch up – Stupak on Bashkiria’s call to abandon the war in Ukraine

Protests have not subsided in Bashkortostan for the third day. Residents are calling to leave the war in Ukraine and return to defend their “homeland.”

The Kremlin acted proactively and responded to the protesters with “traditional” theses. More details 24 Channel was told by former SBU officer Ivan Stupak.

How the Kremlin reacted

A video is being distributed on Russian telegram channels in which an unknown Bashkir woman calls on all Bashkortostan fighters to leave the territory of Ukraine and return to protect their people. The woman said that while the Russians are fighting for the ambitions of one person, their people are being beaten with batons.

The Kremlin immediately guessed what needed to be done and worked in pursuit, forcing men in balaclavas and with machine guns to record a video. They began to say that they were fighting Nazism while someone inside was ruining the country. They also said that they would win, and when they returned they would give everyone “a piece of their pants,” emphasized Ivan Stupak.

Bashkir woman's appeal to Russian men

Recall that the protesters came out in defense of local activist Fail Alsinov, who is accused of allegedly “inciting ethnic hatred.” About 5 thousand people gathered for the protest.

Events in Bashkiria resemble the former Romania

According to a former SBU employee, the protest in Bashkiria is chaotic and not numerous. Therefore, one should not hope that the Putin regime will collapse immediately. In such totalitarian regimes, an analogy can be drawn with Romania during the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu.

Before the destruction of his regime, he had a rating of 90%. And he was the “genius” of the Carpathians, the “ruler” of the Danube and everything else he was. However, it all started with small riots in the city of Timisoara – the police also evicted some activist. But the locals came and defended him. In Bashkiria it is very similar. “I would like this to be the first explosion that destroys the last domino,” Stupak emphasized.

What is known about the protest in Bashkiria

• Thousands of people came to the building of the Baymaksky court of Russian Bashkortostan on the day the verdict was announced for the famous activist Fail Alsinov. He was sentenced to four years because he allegedly spoke out against partial mobilization and called on his fellow countrymen not to go to war in Ukraine.
• Hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse during previous hearings . However, on January 17, many more people came and refused to leave. The protesters chanted: “Shame!”
• Riot police officers with shields and batons pushed the crowd away from the gate through which the paddy wagon with Alsinov was supposed to pass. However, the convoy never left.
• According to media reports, security forces threw several bombs into the crowd – with smoke and tear gas. Several casualties were also reported, and an ambulance arrived at the court.
