2022 Russian Far East protests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from 2022 Far Eastern protests)

With the beginning of mobilization in Russia in September 2022 during the Russo-Ukrainian war, anti-war and anti-mobilization protests broke out in the Russian Far East, mostly performed by women.[1] Former Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj protested against usage of ethnic minorities such as the Buryats, Tuvans, and Kalmyks as cannon fodder,[2] and invited them to Mongolia.[3] The Tuvans belong to Turkic peoples but are also regarded in Mongolia as one of the Uriankhai peoples.[a]

Women protested in Ordzhonikidze Square, in Yakutsk.[4] Some elderly men were conscripted by mistake.[5]

According to Alexandra Garmazhapova, president of the foundation, some local people try to go to Mongolia.[7]

Two fires were set in Salavat.[8]
