The thing is, Russia has a well-developed security apparatus that has been suppressing ethnic dissent going back to at least Ivan the Terrible. Most other countries don't have that because they never needed it.

Another of Putin-let speeches that never happened ever.

How does Russia even work considering you got +100 different ethnicities living in the area? You'd think there would be major chimpouts all over the place (other than some Chechens) but no, Kalmykian mongols live peacefully, Udmurts live peacefully, Siberian natives mind their own lives.

what he really said >On the whole, the adaptation of guest workers is a separate and comprehensive issue. We must create the conditions for immigrants to normally integrate into our society, learn Russian and, of course, respect our culture and traditions and abide by Russian law. In this regard, I believe that the decision to make learning the Russian language compulsory and administer exams is well grounded. To do so, we will need to carry out major organisational work and introduce corresponding legislative amendments. I'd like to ask the Federal Migration Service and other departments to submit specific proposals to the government. These proposals should be openly discussed with ethnic minorities as well as public and religious organisations. This should be mandatory for all guest workers regardless of their future employment.
Dylan Johnson
Because they're treated truly equally as everyone else as every other citizen and not constantly told they're special and need special treatment as in EU, US.
I had tatars and kalmiks, komi and iakuts, jews and mordva and others in my classes in school and uni and I can't remember a single argument or xenophobic thing that was said to either of them. The chances are people wouldn't even notice you're native siberian or volga tatar if you won't explicitly tell them.
They all speak perfect russian, live according to our laws and respect our culture as well as we respect theirs.
Brayden Peterson
That sounds a helluva a lot different than what OP posted. It sounds like Putin wants easier assimilation with minority groups. OP's quote makes it seem like Putin is some kind of anti-SJW being condescending towards minorities.

The forcible deportation of the Crimean Tatars from Crimea was ordered by Joseph Stalin as a form of collective punishment under accusations of collaborating with the Nazi occupation regime in Taurida Subdistrict during 1942–1943. The state-organized removal is known as the Sürgünlik in Crimean Tatar. A total of more than 230,000 people were deported, mostly to the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. This included the entire ethnic Crimean Tatar population, at the time about a fifth of the total population of the Crimean Peninsula, as well as smaller numbers of ethnic Greeks and Bulgarians. A large number of deportees (more than 100,000 according to a 1960s survey by Crimean Tatar activists) died from starvation or disease as a direct result of deportation.

The user you are responding to speaks the truth, we really do believe in ethnic equality and cultural assimilation. Rather then multiculturalism model of the west.

The Western media rarely covers Russian politics except when it makes Russia look bad, and if it doesn't make them look bad, they'll make it make them look bad.
Putin just wants migrants to do what they should, to do what immigrants to the U.S did a century ago: assimilate peacefully, obey the law, learn the language, be productive, pay taxes.
That's literally it.
Putin is a pretty reasonable guy. The U.S and NATO...or, more accurately, the U.S *via* NATO, has been aggressive towards the Russian Federation for years now. The U.S is the most hyper aggressive nation in the world, but Russia and Putin get a bad rap for invading Ukraine, which they did because Soros funded a coup against a legitimately elected President there.
Wyatt Scott
What is your point here? Everyone in USSR suffered from the communist regime. Russians, ukrainians, jews. tatars everyone was tortured and repressed.

Looking at the entire period of Stalin's rule, one can list: Poles (1939–1941 and 1944–1945), Romanians (1941 and 1944–1953), Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians (1941 and 1945–1949), Volga Germans (1941–1945), Ingrian Finns (1929–1931 and 1935–1939), Finnish people in Karelia (1940–1941, 1944), Crimean Tatars, Crimean Greeks (1944) and Caucasus Greeks (1949–50),[12] Kalmyks, Balkars, Karachays, Meskhetian Turks, Karapapaks, Far East Koreans (1937), Chechens and Ingushs (1944). Shortly before, during and immediately after World War II, Stalin conducted a series of deportations on a huge scale which profoundly affected the ethnic map of the Soviet Union. It is estimated that between 1941 and 1949 nearly 3.3 million were deported to Siberia and the Central Asian republics. By some estimates up to 43% of the resettled population died of diseases and malnutrition
Large numbers of kulaks regardless of their nationality were resettled to Siberia and Central Asia. According to data from Soviet archives, which were published in 1990, 1,803,392 people were sent to labor colonies and camps in 1930 and 1931. Books say that 1,317,022 reached the destination. Deportations on a smaller scale continued after 1931. The reported number of kulaks and their relatives who had died in labour colonies from 1932 to 1940 was 389,521

I get that you are baiting friend, but feel obliged to respond. First: >Large numbers of kulaks regardless of their nationality were resettled Second, and far more important: Dozens of millions starved to death because of this idiotic decision. Ukraine took the brunt of it, but it was all over. I'd say if you want to paint russians Ebil, you should be talking about this and not some some 3 million people who froze in siberia. This, again, does not address my point that it was 50 years ago and the man who ordered all of it was georgian.

In the 1640s the Yakuts were subjected to massacres during the Russian advance into their land near the Lena river, and on Kamchatka in the 1690s the Koryak, Kamchadals, and Chukchi were also subjected to massacres by the Russians At the hands of people like Vasilii Poyarkov in 1645 and Yerofei Khabarov in 1650 some peoples like the Daur were slaughtered by the Russians to the extent that it is considered genocide The Russian Cossacks also faced fierce resistance and were forced to give up when trying unsuccessfully to wipe out the Chukchi through genocide in 1729, 1730-1, and 1744-7.[
Luis Robinson
A genocide of the Chukchis and Koraks was ordered by Empress Elizabeth in 1742 to totally expel them from their native lands and erase their culture through war. Kamchatka today is European in demographics and culture with only 2.5% of it being native, around 10,000 from a previous number of 150,000, due to the mass slaughters by the Cossacks after its annexation in 1697 of the Itelmen and Koryaks throughout the first decades of Russian rule 90% of the Kamchadals and half of the Vogules were killed from the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries and the rapid genocide of the indigenous population led to entire ethnic groups being entirely wiped out, with around 12 exterminated groups which could be named by Nikolai Iadrintsev as of 1882.

The Aleuts in the Aleutians were subjected to genocide and slavery by the Russians for the first 20 years of Russian rule, with the Aleut women and children captured by the Russians and Aleut men slaughtered The indigenous peoples of these regions were targeted by the Czars and Soviet policies to change their way of life; the indigenous peoples' reindeer herds - which provide their food, clothing and income - were confiscated by the government, with the herds and wild game hunting rights given instead to the Russian citizens.
Isaiah Ward
O it goes from 1600-1960 with genocide all the way.
The idea that russia is a happy multi ethic paradise is bullshit.
Matthew Miller
Circassians, the indigenous peoples of this region were cleansed from their homeland at the end of the Russo-Circassian War by victorious Russia. The expulsion was launched before the end of the war in 1864 and it was mostly completed by 1867. The peoples involved were mainly the Circassians (or Adyghe), Ubykhs, Chechens, Abkhaz, and Abaza
Robert Collins
Again the soviet times were as cruel to russians as to everyone else. During the tzarist time until 1860 most of the slaves were ethnic russian working for the rich landowners.

The czars had been doing it in the 19th, 18th, 17th centuries. These people may speak russian today but only because they were slaughtered. Russia is no multi ethic land of opportunity and equality. All the oligarchy are Russian. You can't even leave Ukraine or Georgia alone today or let the chetchens go their own way. It never stopped and never will. Russia from the Rus onward were a culture of slavery and extortion, genocide and barbarity.

Please note the dates in the frame. It ended in 1960 as the poster himself admitted. There probably are a couple unhappy events since then, but nothing on such scale.
Undertand that those were different times, those policies of genocide, turned into resettlement, and later into assimilation. While true that some of even our modern policies may seem intrusive beyound reason, they do create a more stable, more happy population, at the cost of some front loaded hurdles. And I'm not talking about the genocides now, but about our modern policies. Read up how minorities are treated in crimea and tell me we are monsters.

Every relevant country had a dark period in it's existence. I can't accept your Soviet narrative as a racial genocide. Millions of ethnic russians were captured tortured and killed, including members of my own family. Their blood is on Stalin and commie's hands.
Nevertheless I was talking about modern day relationships between average people in my country and I stand by my initial point.

is he saying Russianians or ethnic Russians?
In English its the same word, but Putin always speaks about Rossiyani not Russkie even when he is speaking about obviously Russkie insistutions like the Russian Orthodox Chruch. CIVIC I V I C Not Ethnic Nationalism ok?
Jeremiah Bennett
>Ahem Donetsk. Crimea. Georgia Chechnya Again, go and read what's happening there. Being Imperialistic and being genocidal are not one and the same no matter how much work we and the british done to prove otherwise.
Islam in Moscow Moscow has 1 million Muslim residents and up to 1.5 million more Muslim migrant workers. The city has permitted the existence of four mosques.[102][103] The mayor of Moscow claims that four mosques are sufficient for the population.[104] The city's economy "could not manage without them," he said. There are currently 8,000 mosques in Russia.[105]

>Again, go and read what's happening there. A report by the United Nations said there had been an "alarming deterioration" in human rights in territory held by insurgents affiliated with the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR). The UN reported growing lawlessness in the region, documenting cases of targeted killings, torture, and abduction, primarily carried out by the forces of the Donetsk People's Republic. The UN also reported threats against, attacks on, and abductions of journalists and international observers, as well as the beatings and attacks on supporters of Ukrainian unity. A report by Human Rights Watch said "Anti-Kiev forces in eastern Ukraine are abducting, attacking, and harassing people they suspect of supporting the Ukrainian government or consider undesirable...anti-Kiev insurgents are using beatings and kidnappings to send the message that anyone who doesn't support them had better shut up or leave".
Gavin Howard
It was asked where the multiculti was. There. Right there. 10 to 15 percent of Russia belongs to the Moorish Hordes. You guys kill ethnic minorities like crazy, but apparently only when they're white. I know Russia is all about trying to follow in Rome's footsteps, but this is not the way to do it.

You aren't getting it. We have a very long history, and much of it is very dark. Same is true for most nations with long history. Nowdays those policies furthest extent is forced resettlement in cases of violent resistance. Not kill them all let god sort them out as one famous catholic said. And even then, while we don't tiptoe around minorities like other people do, we do make a honest effort to assimilate them.
Jacob Hill

I study empires. Once in retreat the decline is usually terminal. The Ottoman empire lasted 700 years. Most less. Russia would be better off as a Russian Orthodox European state and let the ethics have their own countries.The longer the attempt to sustain empire the more assured the collapse, see the British. Note the British empire collapsed rapidly after it reached its maximum extent similar to the USSR and now has the consequences domestically.

According to 2002 Russia's population census, there are 140,028 people who currently self-identify as ethnic Cossacks

I have a lot of arms and armour and I am much older than most. I have many things from the last 300 years one of the things I have is a antique kinjal dagger. They were once a people in their own right. Not any more. All the imperial nations are destroyed by their own empire. Russia as it is will break up further and collapse. It is not inevitable i action was taken but I do not see that happening. In the end Kazakhs etc will swallow Russians and there will be less and less. There were once many cassocks. This rivalry you have to be a contender with the USA is foolish. At waterloo I have to bayonets. One French from where the Imperial guard were butchered and another British from the farm. They both sit beside each other now.

Typical example of a brainwashed Russophobe who thinks he knows anything about Russia's history, because he reads Wikipedia.
>Empires always end up destroying the founding nation. Take USSR for example. Every republic had books, schools in local language. Even the anthem was in local language. Russian schools (if there were any in the area) were required to teach Russian pupils the local language. Take Stalin's deportation from Lithuania, for example. Only a fraction of the population was sent to Siberia. Why were they selected? Maybe they did something (in case of Stalin, the neighbor could have said they did something)? You know, maybe they were on the Nazi's side during the war (there are now yearly marches in Latvia of these people)? Not to mention, Siberia is fucking huge and not all of it is Antarctica. And after Stalin's death, people were allowed to move back.
Lithuania received 1/3 of its current territory because of the USSR: the 3rd largest city and the current capital itself. So, USSR kept the culture, rebuilt it after the war, gave 1/3 of its current territory, lived in harmony after Stalin's death, gave independence in the early 90s where it easily could have not done it, the population was actually rising up until that moment, and Russia gets all this bullshit from brainwashed idiots like you? You have absolutely know clue about Russia's history.

Perhaps it would help you understand why I'm so confident about ethnic minorities treatment in russia if you knew that I was born in Armenia and only have 25% russian blood.
I don't look anything like your run of the mill "russian", yet when I was old enough to be asked what my nationality is I couldn't in good faith write armenian in, because I lived in russia since early childhood.
In all of my life my looks came up about 3 times in any manner of negative context that I remember, once in first grades of school girl asked if I converted from muslim faith when I moved from Armenia. And twice some random (different) drunk bastrads on the bus who just smirked at me. Oh sure every now and then I get asked where I'm from, but there is no hostility in it just curiosity.
That's it.
So when you see russian census and see 80% russian, ask yourself how much of those 80% simply accepted identity as a russian above blood.
Putin is far from perfect, his economic policy is oft dissapointing, but it's slowly moving in the right direction and his policies on other fronts continue to please me to no end.
I get that you are irish and projecting. But please stop talking about shit you don't know.
