Patriotism is a love and devotion to one's country. It has had different meanings over time and its meaning is highly dependent upon context, geography, and philosophy.

It is a related sentiment to nationalism, but nationalism is not necessarily an inherent part of patriotism.

In 1944 the USSR set up the East Turkestan republic (renamed soon in Three districts- fear of Islamic name) В led by Uigur Alikhan Tore. In September 1945, Ospan batyr was appointed the governor of Altai okrug. But he refused to be a puppet of the USSR, and dreamt of independent state for Kazakhs, therefore collaborated with Gomingdan regime since 1946. After defeat of nationalists refused to cooperate with the communists, in 1950 was captured by Maoists and executed in 1951.
