Produktbeschreibung
This is a comprehensive survey of the peoples who speak Finno-Ugric languages and have titular republics or autonomous regions within the post-Soviet Russian federation.

Little has previously been available in English on these peoples, as information on the subject was screened by Soviet censors. The principal threat now facing the Finno-Ugrians is as much environmental as political: communism has gone, but exploitation of natural resources threatens the region's ecology, while the new rulers in the Kremlin seem set to continue their predecessors' oppressive policies towards the Finno-Ugrians.
