The indigenous peoples of Russia: Buryats, Yakuts, Tuvans - an introduction to Russian ethnic groups
In today’s video, we look at the diversity of indigenous peoples living in the Russian Federation. We discuss the distinct Russian republics, such as Buryatia, Yakutia, Tuva, Tatarstan and the North Caucasus republics; non-ethnic Russian languages, education and religion, and what impact do decisions in the Kremlin have in various, remote Russian republics, as well as what the regions in Russia beyond Moscow think of the centre that, in essence, controls their livelihood.
Our experts - director of the Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW) Wojciech Konończuk, and Senior Fellow from the the OSW Russian Department, Katarzyna Chawryło - take a deep dive into Russia’s history as a colonial power and what impact the Russia-Ukraine war has had in various Russian Federation republics: protests in Dagestan or Yakutia related to the war in Ukraine and non-ethnic Russian soldiers fighting in the war - and how that influences crucial aspects of life in these republics, and even the survival of Russian indigenous peoples, such as Buryats, Yakuts, and Tuvans.
Lastly, we try to answer the question of whether a collapse of the Russian Federation is possible, if Russia loses the war in Ukraine.
