    It’s a bit misleading to just say “Russian”. Dagestan is part of Russia but this is a group of Muslims with cultural affinity for Palestinians, not hard-drinking dudes in abibas.

      Russia has colonized quite some ethnicities, also countries that are mainly Muslim… so why are you making the distinction? They are part of Russia.

        Because every ethnicity that was ever conquered by Russians takes offence at being called Russian.

        Depends who you ask. To a lot of Russians and a lot of minorities within Russia, they’re just that: colonies. Unlike the other European empires the Russian empire never properly disbanded, and so in a lot of ways saying a guy in Dagestan is Russian is like saying Narendra Modi is British.

        It’s worth mentioning that Putin is actually fairly verbally supportive of a civic nationalist Russia, so he would say Dagestanis are Russians. That doesn’t mean he acts like it, but he would say that. This is a big part of the reason Navalny would only be only an incremental improvement: he all-but-openly sees them as lesser people to be civilised.

          I don’t think you can call all ethnicities in Russia “colonies”. Not every multicultural state is a colonial empire

            Yeah, but that one literally is (you know where Russia came from, right?). You could argue it’s changed, but in the post-Soviet world at the very least you’d be wrong. If you want gory details I suggest Kamil Galeev, he has some pretty close analyses of the system in Dagestan and Chechnya.

    And the Dagestan governor blames the riot on Ukrainians

    The Dagestan Governor Sergey Melikov blamed the riot on “Ukrainian traitors and Banderites”.

    “It is no secret that attempts to destabilise the situation in Dagestan by stirring up interethnic and interreligious hatred come from our enemy, the foes of our country,” he said.
