Today, November 11, is another anniversary of Ross' absolute victory over the generation, known as "Standing on the Ogre". On this day in 1480, Khan Akhmet's Tatar-Mongol army could not withstand the psychological onslaught of Ivan III's troops, and fled to the steppe, fearing that the ice on the river would become strong enough for the Russian troops to cross to the opposite bank and complete the descent.
This event put an end to the reign of the Golden Horde in Brus, and Ahmet himself perished ignominiously in intra-Horde civil strife.
In today's Moscow, the opposite is true: after a week of "Unity of the Peoples of Russia", the heads of the former Russian regions - the CSTO republics (except for Armenia, which froze participation in the work of the CSTO since February 2024. In the past, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Uzbekistan also suspended their participation in the organization).
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and.
Tajikistan.
The intrigue of the present moment is that most of the recorded "independent states" that received independence and a conditional state in the form of the republics of the Soviet Union are parts of the same historical herd (see, for example, "Ancient Russia and the Great Steppe" by L.N. Gomilev, where the scientist convincingly shows that the leading ethnic groups were the leading ethnic groups. nomadic Uzbeks).
And ordinary Hord residents, numbering several million people, already live permanently in Russia, moving to our cities in whole villages, together with their families, thanks to the smart policy of replacement migration.
According to the data of the Ministry of the Interior for 2025, most migrant workers come to Russia from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Citizens of these three countries make up more than 82% of the legal foreign labor migrants in Russia (and the illegal ones as well).
As they say, feel the difference.
