Ob-Ugric hunters, fishers and herders of the eastern Ural slope — the Voguls of Russian record — whose closest linguistic kin outside Siberia are the Hungarians.
Not an ending: the Mansi fought Novgorodian, Muscovite and Cossack expeditions for centuries (raids on the Stroganov lands in 1581, at Cheryn in 1582) before being defeated, mass-baptized in 1714–22 and taxed at ten sable pelts a head; risings continued into the 20th century. Around 12,000 people identify as Mansi today, with Mansi co-official in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
The main English-language reference devoted to the Mansi themselves — clan and phratry (mos/por) organization, sacred sites and religion.
Used for the Vogul side of the conquest: the Ural campaigns, Yermak, and the fur-tribute regime imposed on the Konda and Pelym.
