By year 2002, Russian nationalists started to get increasingly worried about the young, blond new president whom they’d invested with such great hopes. Only three years earlier, he’d promised to kill Chechens (who were ravaging Russia with horrific acts of terror) everywhere, including in the toilets. But in reality, Russia was paying enormous money to Chechnya as a form of perpetual tribute, Russian laws had no validity on the territory of Chechnya, and Chechen businessmen were opening gay clubs all over Moscow and St Petersburg that served as transit hubs for hard drugs.
The nationalists were also bothered by Putin’s refusal to close the border between Russia and the countries of Central Asia. Big cities were becoming increasingly dangerous for women because migrants would assault and rape them. The official narrative was that migrants were necessary because Russians “just wouldn’t do these jobs.” A lot of already scarce housing was converted into barracks where migrants slept, half a dozen to a tiny room.
The last straw was Putin’s declaration that the Russian Federation is a multiethnic state and using the word “Russian” (as opposed to “citizen of Russia”) was not allowed in any state documents. The nationalists were feeling like they were being squeezed out of their own country. The started to resist.
A wave of nationalist protests began. The brutality with which the unarmed protesters were put down was something they didn’t expect. The bodies of their dead leaders were being dragged away but there was no coverage anywhere in the news. Online accounts of those events have since been deleted.
Back then I thought that Putin preferred Central Asians because they were easier to control and didn’t expect much by way of a standard of living or civil liberties. Since then, I realized that this Marxist explanation was insufficient. When a large city with 99% Slavic population gets razed to the ground and 100,000 of its white inhabitants are killed with the goal of repopulating the area with Central Asians, there is a word for that. It’s Lebensraum.
The first time I read the words “Putin is waging a race war against whites” was in 2005. I thought it was dumb. The idea of population replacement sounded very nuts. Yes, it kind of did look that way but it’s not like anybody was doing it on purpose. And it was true that whites didn’t want to be janitors and didn’t want to have kids and were kind of bringing it on themselves, wasn’t it?
It was all a conspiracy theory. It had to be.

Exactly. Here’s a random news item from a couple of days ago:

Something like this happens extremely often. Always in one direction. Compared to what we saw after George Floyd, almost no coverage, no interest. Why?
Putin is farther along this road but it’s the same road.

But are not Russian nationalists currently celebrating this development since the city is in Ukraine? Is it Mariupol?
Are there any Russian nationalists which hold Putin responsible for the destruction waged against fellow Slavs Ukrainians?

“Are there any Russian nationalists”
I don’t think there are any of them left, putin killed them all. I remember a few years ago one of the last prominent ones ‘fell’ from a window on the third floor or so and ended up several meters from the building…… (work that one out).
The pro-russian types were sad but read the writing on the wall and recast themselves as imperialists IIRC.
“hold Putin responsible “
I thought you’re a russian speaker? Have you ever tried to get a russian to blame putin for anything? Might was well try to pour a brick into a cocktail glass….
The tsar’s actions are unquestionable….

Criticizing the leader very much is the thing in SA, probably why we have failed to implode so far since it gives them an incentive to mend their ways.
