>>212246356To be fair Yakutsky is a relatively unknown place for even people who do study their geography. I know Western Russia quite well, Caucasus somewhat, but anything after the Urals is all a blur to me. I know Yakutsk isn't quite that far, but it isn't well known. I can point Novgorod Seversky, Pskov, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tula, Rostov, and Kursk reliably. Everything else I'm gambling if I have a blank map.
Back to reindeer, I thought you guys had a big hunting culture or something, with everyone having to go hunt a bear as a traditional measure of adulthood (for men). Not sure if I'm confusing you guys with another region or if it's more bullshit from people on this board..
