The historian and propagandist who declared the absence of nationality “Azerbaijanis” died
In Russia, Mikhail Smolin died, who was called a pillar of modern conservatism. Last year, Mikhail Smolin said in the political talk show on NTV that there were never any Kazakhs, Azerbaijanis and Uzbeks and “all this was invented by Lenin in the 18th year.” “There were no Kazakhs before the revolution. They were simply pulled out of the RSFSR. Then, so voluntarist, decisions were made on the formation of nations. And there have never been Uzbeks either. And then they created them.
