tugimehhan

Tugimehhan, also known as tugimehhanism, is a philosophical and political movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in the Russian Empire. The term "tugimehhan" is derived from the Russian word "tugimehhanstvo," which translates to "the doctrine of the right to self-determination." The movement was founded by a group of intellectuals and activists who sought to promote the idea of national self-determination and cultural autonomy for various ethnic groups within the Russian Empire.

The tugimehhan movement was influenced by a variety of philosophical and political ideas, including liberalism, nationalism, and socialism. Its proponents argued that the diverse ethnic and cultural groups within the Russian Empire should have the right to self-determination and the freedom to develop their own political, economic, and cultural institutions. This idea was seen as a way to address the long-standing issue of ethnic and cultural diversity within the empire, which had been a source of tension and conflict for centuries.

The tugimehhan movement gained significant support among various ethnic groups within the Russian Empire, including Ukrainians, Poles, Lithuanians, and others. However, it also faced significant opposition from both the Russian government and other ethnic groups who saw it as a threat to their own interests and autonomy. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the tugimehhan movement had a lasting impact on the development of nationalist and self-determination movements in the region, and its ideas continue to influence political and cultural debates in the area today.
