У бурят может быть только одна армия – национально-освободительная. Можно притвориться и пойти в русскую армию, чтобы научиться воевать, но все представители национальных меньшинств служат пушечным мясом в имперских интересах Кремля. Оппозиционер из Бурятии Зуртан Халтаров и поэт Полина Барскова The Buryats can have only one army – the national liberation army. You can pretend and join the Russian army to learn how to fight, but all representatives of national minorities serve as cannon fodder for the imperial interests of the Kremlin.

The Belarusians in Poland are a great role model for Zurtan Khaltarov. The native Buryat is currently visiting many cultural centers in Warsaw, including the Jewish Center. “I want to see what they have to offer and learn from that,” he says. Khaltarov had to leave his southern Siberian hometown of Ulan-Ude a year ago, in part because he had protested against a planned Cossack monument. For him, it was a provocation, a manifesto of Russian hegemonic claims. Moscow has rigorously suppressed Khaltarov’s Buryat culture for years. The language, which is similar to Mongolian, has almost fallen into oblivion. 03.01.2023, 17.01 Uhr
