How the War in Ukraine Catalyzed a Re-awakening of National Identity Among Russia’s Indigenous Peoples
Russia’s brutal assault on Ukraine has now gone on for over three months. The Kremlin continues hiding the extent of injustice it is committing against the Ukrainian people, and it’s hiding the true cost of the war to the Russian people— including the number of those killed in action.
The official numbers that are released, however, indicate that ethnic minorities from economically disadvantaged regions of Russia are disproportionately represented among casualties. It was Christo Grozev of Bellingcat who was among first suggesting that losses among “non-Slavic” troops from remote regions were disproportionately high.

In the wintertime, the wind is cutting as it blows across the steppe; in the summer, the sun is scorching and the temperatures hot. Small settlements – towns, villages, and tochkas (sheepherding stations) – dot the endlessly flat landscape as you drive south from Volgograd to the border with Dagestan and from east to west across the region from the Volga River to the Don Steppe. These monotonous roads are frequently potholed and almost always uncrowded; at intervals, unpaved tracts branch off to reach settlements even more remote.
