So what do the Russian nationalist guerrillas want? What are they fighting for?

They want a Russian nation-state. They want to stop Putin’s population replacement that’s been going on for 20+ years. They want their ethnic group to remain in existence and have its own state. These are obviously hard-right dudes.

Their goal is to let go of the non-Russian subjects of the Russian Federation. Not kill them or anything but simply to dissolve the Federation and reserve the name “Russia” for the majority-Russian area. The Kalmyks, the Buryats, the Adygeans, the Chechens, the Chuvash, the Mordvins, and so on can have their own countries.

You will soon start hearing that this idea was invented by the CIA but that’s not true. It has existed for a very long time on the Russian right. Russian nationalists have been dying for it for decades.
