From Bashkortostan to Ingria: expert names Russian regions where rebellion may start

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

“These are the regions where the Kremlin is destroying representatives of indigenous peoples and enslaved nations. The greatest potential for an explosion, probably social at first, which could later escalate into an ethnic, national or political conflict, is in Bashkortostan, Sakhi, Kalmykia. There are also some regions inhabited by ethnic Russians who do not want to be part of a single state with Moscow - Siberia and the so-called Far East, that is, the Pacific coast with Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and perhaps even part of the so-called European Russia - Ingria, Karelia,” Mahaletskyi explained.

The founder of the Free Nations PostRussia Forum added that there are questions about the leaders of these regions.

“Currently, Russia is using and utilizing a large number of people from these nations, sending them to the front. In fact, they are becoming war criminals, occupation forces in Ukraine. However, at some point, these same people may turn their assault rifles and weapons against Moscow, which already happened in 1917-1918,” Mahaletskyi summarized.

• Over the past day, the invading Russian army lost 1,170 soldiers. Ukrainian defenders also destroyed 72 artillery systems and 119 enemy drones.
