Chechens clearly understood that Russia was incapable of becoming a democratic state if it maintained the political, legal, and ideological continuity of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. The very essence was preserved \u2014 central colonial rule over subjugated nations.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, at that time, no other nation reached such a conclusion. They hoped they could secure their future within the framework of the Russian Federation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But history has put everything where it belongs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over three decades, the Kremlin has definitively shown that the Russian state system is incapable of existing without war, repression, the destruction of national subjectivity, the suppression of civil liberties, and the denial of the right of nations to independently determine their destiny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The empire merely changed its name. Its essence remained the same. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chechen nation was the first to openly challenge this system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We paid a terrible price for it. Two devastating wars, hundreds of thousands dead, destroyed cities and villages, mass repressions, state terror, and ongoing occupation became the price of our struggle for freedom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this sacrifice was not in vain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the Chechen resistance that, for the first time after the collapse of the USSR, showed the entire world that the Russian empire is neither a democratic federation nor a union of equal nations. It was the Chechen struggle that shattered the myth of its invincibility and became the first wake-up call for other subjugated nations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today we see the results of this historical process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more peoples of the Caucasus and other colonized regions understand that their future is not possible within the imperial model. More and more people realize that the freedom of a nation cannot be limited only to the right to speak their mother tongue, sing national songs, and dance national dances or preserve traditions, if that nation is deprived of the most important thing \u2014 the right to be the master of its own land and to independently determine its political future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the goal of the international community should not be limited to projects for reforming the Russian Federation in another attempt to &#8220;democratize the empire.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">History has convincingly proven that an empire does not stop being an empire just because it changes its name, constitution, or political regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Democratization without decolonization inevitably ends with the preservation of the center&#8217;s dominance over colonized nations. An empire cannot transform into a non-imperial structure through reforms. Empires are characterized by only two states \u2014 attempts at constant expansion or disintegration.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The word &#8220;disintegration&#8221; may evoke negative associations with something destructive. In our case, however, this word carries an entirely constructive meaning. We are talking about the realization of a fundamental principle of international law \u2014 the right of nations to self-determination.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This right does not only mean the possibility of preserving one&#8217;s culture and language. It means the right to independently determine one&#8217;s political status, manage one&#8217;s natural resources, and create one&#8217;s own national states. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is precisely why the de-imperialization of Russia cannot be limited to the reform of federal institutions. It must be completed by the elimination of the colonial system, and conditions must be created in which every colonized nation will be able to freely decide its future through a democratic expression of will in accordance with the norms of international law. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therein lies the true meaning of contemporary decolonization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not about creating a new international precedent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is about completing the global process of decolonization that began after World War II but was never finished in relation to the last continental empire of Europe \u2014 Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is precisely why dozens of national liberation, decolonization, and de-occupation movements are emerging today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why, at the end of October 2022, the Caucasus Union was created here in Kyiv \u2014 an association of nations that realized the necessity of a common struggle for freedom and political self-determination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An equally important role is played by the <\/span><b>Group of Free Nations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which has authorized the Chechen national liberation movement <\/span><b>Chechen United Force<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to represent its interests in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to our joint work in PACE, a <\/span><b>working group<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has already been established for the implementation of point 2621 of the resolution \u2014 the creation of an independent platform for dialogue with colonized nations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We highly value the cooperation with the Ukrainian delegation to PACE led by Mariia Mezentseva, the support of Ukrainian MP Yuriy Kamelchuk, who coordinates the activities of this group, and the work of the Temporary Special Commission of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on cooperation with national liberation movements, with which we cooperate thanks to Ukrainian MP Tamila Tasheva.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of particular significance is also the inter-factional parliamentary association of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine <\/span><b>Free Ichkeria<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, led by Oleksandr Merezhko, which has become a major political actor in supporting the Chechen nation and all other nations fighting against colonialism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On behalf of all participants of the working group we established in PACE, which represents various colonized nations, I want to express sincere gratitude to Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Ukraine is not only defending its own independence. It has become the state that is the first to create real international mechanisms for the realization of the right of subjugated nations to self-determination. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is precisely why Ukraine has become a hope for millions of people who continue the struggle for their freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear friends!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirty years ago, the Chechen nation stood practically alone against the Russian empire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, dozens of nations stand by its side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our unity is not a temporary political alliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a historical necessity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 20th century, the colonial empires of the world collapsed. In the 21st century, the decolonization of the last continental empire of Europe must be completed. And we, the peoples of the Caucasus, intend to be subjects of this process, not its objects.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long live free Ichkeria!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long live the free Caucasus!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glory to
