THE KHONGORAİ KHYRGHYZ [KHAKAS] PEOPLE'S STRUGGLE IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AGAINST RUSSIAN INVADERS IN 17 AND 18. CENTURIES TİMUR
B.DAVLETOV In spite of such once time generally accepted
so-named concept emphiseizes the annexation based on voluntary demand and free-will
of indigenous nations lived throughout the Siberian territories to Russian state,
in recent time, especially after Soviet Unoin’s collapse, points of view that
attempt examining the homogeneity of colonization process and history of non-Russian
territories and reconstructing the true history about fights some aboriginal
populations against Russian invasion have spreadly
recognised in Russian society and science. In Soviet period, the history of Khakas
nation’s straggle for its independence have been interpreted in favor of then
existed official ideological frames and through filters of traditiona Soviet-style
interclass antagonism’s approach too, and the fact of Khakas fight against
invaders in the name of protection of liberty have also been totally terminated.
According to that interpretations, Khakas people on the ground of free-will have
itself selected and prefered to be swallowed by invaders. In the name of this
pure fabricatoin false history, in Khakas Republic during last two decades have
been made many attempts to erect a monument aim of which would be glorification
of so-named ‘free-will’ annexation of Khakas state and nation (Khyrghyz Cher-Khan
paza Khyrghyz chony) into ‘big brother’s propriety’. It’s very
interisting that this fact of so-named voluntary joining to Russian state have
been interpreted by everyone as only chance of Khakassian national survival. But
at the same time, everyone also know that number of population of Tuvans, who
have according to Kiakhtin Agreement of 1727 between Chine and Russian Empire
been stayed out of the latter’s territory and anexed to former’s one, far
more than populations of Khakas and Altai peoples. Futhermore, at present time
in our neighbor country of Tyva there are Tuvans constitute over 70 % of total
population while Khakases are lower than 11% within total population of Khakas
Republic, the titular nation of which are Khakases themselves. Fortunately, after total collapse of Soviet
totalitarian regime in former USSR there are have really blown ‘winds of
changes’ and many of old-aged stereotypes have been broken. And thank to this
positive shifts in political shield in Russian Federation have stareted new
approaches through re-thinking to old trues previously accepted as dogmatic ones.
As one result of these changes, at now-a-days, even in Khakas Republic’s
establishment there are have at last been accepted fact of the Khakas nation’s
struggle in the name of protection of state and national independence of its
Motherland (Chir-Suu) against Russian invaders lasted to about one hundred and
fifty years. Khakassian nation must always remember and
revere the memory of fallen national heroes of once honor times of our history
and glorify their exploits made in the name of protection of the national
independence of Khakas (Khyrghyz and Khoorai) state. They, i.e., national heroes
of Khakas nation have been abided by wise words like Dulce et decorum est pro
patria mori ... Remembering and revering the memory of our glorious ancestors is
sensus communis of natural task and
duty of grateful and thankful descendant generations and progenies of the Khakas
nation before our national heroes who constituents the national memory of
peoples themselves. |
