Russian television announced the absence of Kazakhs, Uzbeks and Azerbaijanis as nations

In the political talk show “Meeting Place” on NTV, one of the “experts” said that there were never any Kazakhs, Azerbaijanis or Uzbeks, and “Lenin came up with all this in 1918.”

“There were no Kazakhs before the revolution. They were simply pulled out of the RSFSR. At that time, decisions on the formation of nations were made so voluntarily. And there were never any Uzbeks either. And then they were created. Or who are Azerbaijanis? There is no such nationality,” said the “expert.”
