How the Muscovite ulus ( Empire ) failed to conquer indigenous nomads Chukchi people. very soon Chukotka will be free, Long Live free Chukotka !! a story for Hollywood Tv show
" Imagine a military clash between an 18th century superpower and a group of reindeer herdsmen and fishermen whose weapons were made of bones... who would you back? Well, don’t jump the gun! The Russian Empire took on the Chukchi people and against all odds – lost.
There’s a region in Russia’s Far East called Chukotka on the Chukchi Peninsula, on the shores of the Chukchi Sea, where (unsurprisingly) the Chukchi people live. They speak the Chukchi language, are indigenous to the country, and enjoy a close relationship to nature – historically, they also have a reputation as fearsome warriors. Russia’s Empire found this out the hard way."
