Bashkortostan is one of the most developed regions of the Russian Federation in terms of its gross regional output, volume of industrial production, agricultural production, and investment in fixed assets.

The economy of Bashkortostan, being one of the largest industrial centers of Russia, is very diverse. Bashkortostan has a large agricultural sector. But the republic's most important industry is chemical processing; Bashkortostan produces more oil than any other region of Russia, about 26 million tons annually, and provides 17% of the country's gasoline and 15% of its diesel fuel. Other important products manufactured in Bashkortostan include alcohols, pesticides and plastics. The republic's gross regional product in 2007 was 645 billion rubles (over €18 billion).[11] More than half of Bashkortostan's industry is based in Ufa, the republic's capital.

Ze hebben het blijkbaar wat allemaal de datsja en de paddestoelen.
Het langs straat barbecuen en rechtstaand eten met een klein tafeltje om het vodka en vlees op te leggen doen ze dat daar ook? 8-)

Wat zijn yurts?

Yurt, eigenlijk is dat de grote rond tent die typisch te vinden is bij de Mongoolse steppe nomaden.

waarbij het overigens met fascisme een stuk meer gemeen heeft dan met liberalisme.

Bashkortostan’s Capital Unveils New Lenin Monument
November 5, 2011
UFA, Russia — A new monument to Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin has been unveiled in Ufa, the capital of the Russian republic of Bashkortostan, RFE/RL’s Tatar-Bashkir Service reports.

Some 100 people, including Gennady Zyuganov, chairman of Russia’s Communist Party, attended the ceremony.

The monument is located in a small park on Communist Street.

It is made of marble and stands on the same spot where an earlier plaster statue of Lenin was erected in 1924, the year he died.

In the late 1980s the monument was removed. Earlier this year, local communists initiated the idea of erecting a new monument to Lenin in the same spot. The idea was approved by Ufa City Council.

Many people in Bashkortostan and the neighboring republic of Tatarstan are still nostalgic about their Soviet past.

De communisten hebben het bijzonder goed gedaan in de verkiezingen in Bashkortostan, met bijna 40% van de stemmen.

Ik denk niet dat deze liedjes schrijft over vrede .
