Mari El is the home of the Mari people, some of whom are as fed up with the Russians as the Ukranians are. I can't find it now, but I remember seeing a short video about a small unit of Mari fighters serving under Ukranian command in the Ukranian battle field. Their leader, a guy in his 50s, spoke to the camera and called for an uprising of non-Russian people's inside Russia.
