Lole.

Cossacks used to speak their own dialect, called balachka.

I am Cossack related

Ikr

And I have 1 or two Georgian relatives

https://youtu.be/b3A1HPmLNK0?t=189 These girls are Uzbek

@Deleted User Oh what kind of Georgian

just regular

or Abkhazian/Ossetian?

Stalin was actually from an Ossetian group, and Ossetians are Iranic, and also mixed into Hungary and Croatia

Alexander Slavros of Ironmarch mentioned that Stalin was an Ossetian thing.

In his ethnic-make up of the Soviet regime post, I wish I archived it.

nice

Yeah Ossetians also have a big partipication in the Uatsdin, last surviving Pagan Iranic religion.

Some IronMarch books were good, but I hate the American Futurist shit

As they see Orthodoxy as associated with Gruzians or Russians.

Oh, never knew that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uatsdin
Check this, I learned of that from Dugin.

the ones in S.Ossetia rebelling in 2008

were all Orthodox

I know Russia has at times tried to suppress regional identities though like Armenian for example, despite usually be close

What I find strange is how many freaking Russians are there in Armenia, Gruzia or Azerbaijan.

But practically none in the Russian Caucasus.

Where it's a place like Tuva, they're afraid to go to and still majority native.

Is Tuva, Muslim, that'd explain it

Also the Alans come from Ossetia and they are part of the composition of the Iberian peoples

Tuva is Tibetan Buddhist and Shamanist.

Sergei Shoigu is half-Tuvan half-Russian, which is why he have such a non-Russian surname.

Tuva was traditionally associated with Mongolia and is claimed into Greater Mongolia.

Isn't the Russian Caucus Dagestan

and Checnya

Dagestan, Chechnya, etc.

Yep.

those are hellholes

so no wonder

Russia bombed the shit out of those

Putin was busy stabilizing that region, when Bush started the War on Terror

that's why Russia and the US were on good terms till the War in Ossetia

Bush and Putin got along

it was at this time that Dugin started formulating a lot of his modern theories

also
