Protests erupted in Baymak, Bashkortostan, Russia, following the sentencing of Indigenous rights activist Fail Alsynov to four years in a penal colony. The court accused Alsynov of inciting ethnic hatred during a speech opposing a gold mine development. Supporters, estimated at 3,000, clashed with police, leading to arrests and tear gas use. Alsynov claims his words were mistranslated. The protest is considered one of Russia's largest since the Ukraine war. Alsynov, fined last year for criticizing the war, leads Bashkort, a banned grassroots movement preserving regional culture. Indigenous peoples in Russia, facing rights challenges, often defend traditional territories amid resource extraction projects.

Protestors gathered in Plovdiv over plans to dismantle the Soviet Red Army monument 'Alyosha.' Plovdiv's mayor mentioned a potential assessment of the economic impact but emphasized it wasn't a priority. The monument, erected in 1957, faces controversy as some see it as not part of Plovdiv's cultural tradition. Calls for removal by 2024 sparked debates, with the There is Such a People party proposing a public referendum. Soviet monuments in Bulgaria have been contentious due to historical complexities. Russia's State Duma condemned the idea, considering it part of a broader 'war' against Soviet-era monuments. In December, Sofia's prominent Soviet monument faced partial dismantling. Efforts to remove Plovdiv's Alyosha have surfaced since the 1990s, with debates and volunteer groups guarding the statue.
