Руслан Айсин: Баку показал нацреспубликам слабость Москвы

Moscow is accustomed to speaking the language of force. But the conflict with Baku has shown that this language only works as long as the other side is afraid to respond. We discuss with Ruslan Aisin what Tatarstan, the Caucasus, and other national republics have seen in the confrontation between Azerbaijan and Russia. Why is the Kremlin consistently destroying the political agency of its regions, their national languages, and their own historical memory? What happened to Tatarstan after 2017? And why, without decolonization, does another "peaceful Russia" risk once again becoming an empire of war? We examine the logic of a system that deprives the regions of their people, resources, and the right to determine their own future. 00:00 Shusha and the New Anti-Colonial Discourse 02:08 Why Talking About Colonialism Isn't Enough 07:15 Russia as a State of Constant War 08:40 The Kremlin Against National Identity 14:50 Why "Peaceful Russia" Isn't Solving the Problem 17:21 What Tatarstan and the Caucasus See in the Moscow-Baku Conflict 20:38 Is the Kremlin Ready to Eliminate National Republics 23:46 How Tatarstan Lost Political Will 27:00 Why a Real Federation Could Stop the Dictatorship 31:23 Tatarstan's People and Money Are Going to War 35:42 Language and History as Moscow's Main Goal 40:48 2017 — the Point of Losing Tatarstan's Subjectivity 49:56 Under What Conditions Will Russia Really Change?
