Wybory religijne i dyskusje o tożsamości w Republice Sacha

Abstract

The framework of religious discussions and choices in the Sakha Republic mark references to Orthodoxy and native belief traditions. In the case of the latter, the importance of shamanism is emphasized, attempts are being made to create the national religion of Sakha (ajyy religion) and the links with the beliefs of the former nomads of the Great Steppe (tengrism) are emphasized. In the article I show that such directions of religious search are closely related to discussions about the identity of the Yakuts.
