Nenets people
There are some Nenets people, activists, and researchers who are nervous about the current situation in the Yamal peninsula. This is because there is concern that authorities of the Nenets people will make a deal to merge with another region. Nenets people worry that the deal will lead to a passing in their autonomy as well as their language and traditions. As of November 2020, the Nenets people have not merged with other regions.
