Description: "The advent of perestroika and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union have had an enormous impact on indigenous peoples in the Russian Arctic. Neotraditionalism in the Russian North illuminates many of the cultural, political, and economic issues guiding Russian state policy toward Siberian indigenous peoples.

Growing from a report submitted to the Russian parliament, it became a major building block for new legislation on the treatment of Northern minority peoples in post-Soviet Russia."--BOOK JACKET.
