Fishing with the Mansi. Uzhma
Ushma is the northernmost settlement in the Sverdlovsk region (80 km to the nearest village), officially inhabited only by the Mansi (20-25 people). A small settlement of 10 houses on both banks of the Lozva River and two independent satellite payphones (one on each bank)—there are no other signs of a government. By law, Ushma doesn't exist—it's just forest. This situation is convenient for the local administration—no need to clear the road, no need for a first-aid station, no need for a store, no need for a post office, no need for electricity, no need for jobs.
The Mansi (Mansi: mansi; obsolete: voguls, vogulichi) are a small people in Russia.
The Mansi are a mysterious northern people whose history dates back to the Neolithic period. They are surrounded by many myths and legends, from rumors of alcohol intolerance to terrifying shamanic rituals that are still performed today. My WhatsApp: 89502097763
