The Kremlin is trying to change the demographics in the occupied territories by importing migrants from Central Asia to replace the indigenous Ukrainian population and plans to merge Ukrainian and Russian regions to create a “Donbas” commonwealth, according to reports.
According to the Center for National Resistance (CNR), the total number of migrants from Asia has already exceeded 100 thousand people.
“Most of them work in construction, but in the future, the Russians plan to mobilize them in exchange for citizenship,” the CNR reports.
The Ukrainian underground also says that such a massive influx of migrants has already provoked a deterioration in the crime situation in the occupied regions and led to the creation of ethnic criminal groups.
You can see some of the future Russian MO forming now. Plop down an ethnic identity spanning two distinct regions, then when Russia gets kicked out they have a flash point (split C. Asian commonwealth) ready to go, and if not like the article says they have a poorly rooted population perfect for conscription. Even the deteriorating social situation isn’t that much of a problem, makes for more desperate volunteers.
So actually great replacement shit. I can’t wait to hear reactionaries defend this.
To be clear, this is a tactic that various Russian regimes - very much including the Soviets - have been using since the Tsars were still calling the shots.
That’s not a defense - just saying that for the Russians, this is a time-tested strategy.
I don’t think you’re gonna have an easy time finding people on Lemmy to defend Russia’s actions in this war.
Didn’t say it would be on lemmy.
Jesus, can you imagine signing up for this. “I think I’ll put my life in Russia’s hands, this will work out for me”
