Freedom for nations – freedom for the Individual! This Freedom for nations – freedom for the Individual! This universal, fundamental principle, based on the recognition of freedom as an indisputable value, is a determining factor of the fair democratic development of society. We are talking about individual freedom and collective freedom, according to which every people, every nation has the right to create its own state, and each person is able to perform actions that he considers necessary. This principle underlies the national liberation struggle of enslaved nations for freedom and the acquisition of statehood. Nevertheless, for many centuries Russian rulers have always denied the right of enslaved nations to fight for their own independence and have cruelly dealt with their political opponents. This was the case during the time of the Muscovite Kingdom, the Russian Empire, during the period ofthe USSR and it remains so to this day. Vladimir Putin, like his predecessors — Yeltsin, Andropov, Stalin, Lenin and others, does not recognize the right to dissent and protest. The modern state and political entity, the Russian Federation, is ruled by an authoritarian regime. There is no real democracy, no freedom of speech and conscience, dissent is contestedand opposition persecuted, while all dissenters are thrown into prison. A special place in this list is occupied by representatives of national liberation movements of enslaved nations. These are activists from the North Caucasus (Chechnya, Ingushetia, Dagestan), Idel-Ural (Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Chuvashia, Mari El), Far East (Sakha-Yakutia), Buryatia, Khakassia, Oirat-Kalmykia and other regions.
