Details In the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan of the Russian Federation, there are two monuments that show the conflicting relationship between Russians and Bashkirs, which were erected at about the same time. One is the "National Friendship Monument" built in 1965 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the "Voluntary Annexation" of the Russian state, and it is a statue of Saravat Yuraev, a Bashkir national hero, built two years later in 1967. It is suggestive in considering the history of Russian state and the peoples in this region in turn that both are monuments which convey one side of the historical fact, and each shows the posture of the contradictory Bashkir people to the Russian state of friendship and protest.
