Who are the Udmurts? Russia’s most red haired and musical ethnic group
Gilligan hats of redheaded Udmurtian caps look as distinctive as Scythian/Saka caps.

Russia seems to be what remains of Tartaria: Who are Russians/Tartars?
Is Tatarstan the remains of Great Tartaria?
  • After the Mud Flood, few believe there ever was a Tartaria inhabited by Tartars (remnants Tatars of the ancient empire of Great TARTARIA) who ate raw meat, steak tartare, a kind of pastrami (pastirma), after which was named a famous sauce and dish, so where is Udmurtia?
The Empire of Tartaria is seen on maps, or what remained of it after the Mud Flood.

What and where is Udmurtia?

UDMURTIA is officially the Udmurt Republic of Russia located in Eastern Europe. It is administratively part of the Volga Federal District. Its capital is the City of Izhevsk. It was established as the Udmurt (until 1931 Votskaya) Autonomous Region on Nov. 4, 1920 [11].

THE NAME UDMURT comes from odo-mort ("meadow people"), where the first part represents the Permic root od or odo ("meadow, glade, turf, greenery"). This is supported by a document dated 1557, in which the Udmurts [12] are referred to as lugovye lyudi ("meadow people"), alongside the traditional Russian name otyaki [13]. The second part murt means "person" (cf. Komi mort, Mari mari).

It is probably an early borrowing from a Scythian language: mertä or martiya ("person, man," Sanskrit Manus or Manushya), which is thought to have been borrowed from the Indo-Aryan term maryá- ("man, mortal, one who is bound to die," cf. Old Indic márya or "young warrior," and marut, "chariot warrior," both connected specifically with horses and chariots [14].

The Indo-Europeanists T. Gamkrelidze and V. Ivanov associate this word with horse-riding Altaic tribes in the Bronze Age [15, 16].

On the other hand, in the Russian tradition, the name "meadow people" refers to the inhabitants of the left bank of a particular river. Recently, the most relevant is the version of V. V. Napolskikh and S. K. Belykh. They suppose that ethnonym was borrowed either from Indo-Iranian anta or "outside, close, last, edge, limit, boundary," or the Turkic-Altaic anda/ant "oath (in fidelity), comrade, friend" [17].

HISTORY started on Nov. 4, 1920, when the Votyak Autonomous Oblast was formed [3]. On Jan. 1, 1932, it was renamed the Udmurt Autonomous Oblast [18], which was then reorganized into the Udmurt ASSR on Dec. 28, 1934 [3].

During World War II, many industrial factories were evacuated from the Ukrainian SSR and western borderlands to Udmurtia. On Oct. 11, 1991, the Supreme Council of the Udmurt ASSR adopted a law according to which the Udmurt ASSR acquired a new name — the Udmurt Republic [19]. More: Udmurtia
