Peoples of Russia, which will soon disappear

The territory of Russia is huge - almost no other country can not withstand such a territorial competition. In different parts of our country is still inhabited by representatives of dozens of nations, each of which has its own, unique customs and traditions. Unfortunately, not all people can boast a large number of: civilization and ever-changing world literally destroy these people. Here, for example, a few tribes still exist in Russia, who are on the verge of extinction.

But if the Japanese Gilyaks carefully protected by the state and gradually increase the number, then we have the situation is exactly the opposite. Sociologists predict imminent sunset Nivkhs culture in Russia - those who survive are likely to move into the same country of the rising sun.

Selkups

Small tribe Ostyaks-Samoyed (so called before the revolution Selkups) lives in the north of the Tomsk region.
