Hello,

Glad you like it :-)

Surely not, but probably he'd have too much on hand there to pay attention to those Yurak upsrisings. After all, no-one knew there was the oil and gas there, and the Vorkuta coal was a pain to deliver, and thus easily substituted for something else.

That'd be part of the fun :) [...]

Yes, mostly the North-East (Kolva Nenets and Vorkuta).

Well, what is inhabited by the Nenets is part of Nyenecye-Ja (i. e. the part of the present Taimyr AD to the west of the Yenisei). The rest doesn't have a lot to do with the Nenets. I think it'd make good sense to unite it with Yakutia, since the Dolgans are their closest relatives. An independent Dolgan state is a cool idea, but I think it too crazy, and besides I know next to nothing about THOSE places. No-one'd have let the Dolgans control all that nickel and stuff, anyway.

I think I should, for I'd like to see Nyesyang-Ja (the Forest Nenets country) included there. [...]

Oh, are you cruel! Not another list!!! OK, I've joined it, so I think we can resume the discussion there ;-) Pavel -- Pavel Iosad pavel_iosad@mail.ru Nid byd, byd heb wybodaeth --Welsh saying
