Nenets.

This is coolbert:

Yes indeed it makes particular hard viewing the collage as accompanies the Barents Observer article. Young men from the Russian Far North having perished the Ukraine Conflict.

"More indigenous men from Russian Arctic are killed in Moscow's war of aggression"

"On a cold morning in late January, the relatives of Vasily Taleev assembled to say a last farewell. The 33 years old soldier was the third man from the Nenets village of Nelmin Nos killed in Ukraine."

From https://thebarentsobserver.com | article by Atle Staalesen | September 07, 2023.

"The farewell ceremony for Vasily Ivanovich Taleev took place in the hospital morgue of Naryan-Mar, the regional capital, on the 31st of January 2023. He was later buried in his home town of Nelmin Nos, local social media inform."

"Taleev had signed up for service for mercenary group Wagner and was reported killed in early December. He was an ethnic Nenets and belonged to a family of reindeer herders from the far northern Nenets Autonomous Okrug."

The thought is that persons of Russian ethnic and racial minorities their casualties the Ukrainian Conflict disproportionate to their numbers in the overall population.
