Who they are
The besermyan are a small indigenous people of Finno-Ugric origin who live mainly in villages in the northwest of the Udmurt Republic, in European Russia. They maintain their own cultural identity and speak a dialect linked to the Udmurt language. Over the centuries, they have preserved ancient community customs, oral traditions, and a way of life deeply rooted in rural routine and farming the land.
