Nobody is 'occupied'. And who is saying the minorities are 'Russian'. Tatar is not Russian, Tatar is Tatar. Bashkir is Bashkir, Buryat is Buryat. Etc. They all carry" Russian (or is it russian Federation)"passports though. They are all 'Rossiane' lol Yeltsin's term, not mine. And 99.9% don't mind being part of the Federation either. People have issues, poverty, police brutality, whatever. And they certainly raise them, there are protests, there were even those riots in Moscow, shameful really, attacking innocent people, but, what can you expect from football hooligans... Either way, think what you want. Get off my thread, I did not post this for you; to argue with your Russophobic b******t.
