URUGUAY<>YAKUTIA

(OK, so I never heard of it, either....)

As big as India and as empty and remote as Iceland. That could be a good summary of the

Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The country is by far the largest of the autonomous republics of the

Russian Federation. And besides that, it is very rich in natural resources and much closer to North

Asia than to European Russia. But if the Sakha republic is named that way, its is because it is the

homeland of the Sakha, who form the vast majority of its indigenous population. Confronted with

the legacy of centuries of Russian colonization, the Sakhas find themselves with the challenge of

asserting themselves in a changed international environment.
