2022 Russian Far East protests

With the beginning of mobilization in Russia, 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 “The Buryat Mongol, Tuva Mongols, and Kalmyk Mongols" as cannon fodder.[2] He invited the Mongols to Mongolia. [3] The Tuvans belong to Turkic peoples but are also regarded in Mongolia as one of the Uriankhai peoples.[4]
