Working on answering some asks..wah

Are there any resources where I can learn more about Mongolian-descent Russian culture?

I will answer in Russian, because I am not sure that Google Translate will translate my words correctly.

Самыми многочисленные монгольские народы в России - это Буряты и Калмыки. Так же к монгольским народам относятся многие народы живущих на реке Амур. Что же касается ресурсов, то вам вероятно придется сидеть с гугл-переводчиком. Можно глянуть сайты республик и местных библиотек и музеев, но там мало оцифрованных материалов, потому что регионы в котором проживают эти народы, весьма бедны и у них не ресурсов для их развития. Республика Бурятия и Республика Калмыкия, - входят в десятку беднейших регионов РФ.

Вы так же можете обратится к архивам Кунсткамеры, Этнографического Музея или Национальной библиотеке.

так же можно глянуть новостные ресурсы Радио Свободы - Сибир Реалии и Северный Кавка, там иногда бывают статьи про историю.

Если я найду что-то еще, я добавлю. Но это то, как я ищу информацию.

Ест еще вариант обратится в поиск во вконтакте (российская соц сеть)‎ , там бывают книги.

This is not "Yakutsk child" (I'm not sure, but I think it's Nenets, it looks like their traditional clothing. As a Sakha (Yakut), I have never seen such a cut of clothes and ornaments.)

And these are Sakha (Yakuts) children:

Yukaghir folk tale "Why doesn't the sun shine in winter?"

A long time ago, according to the stories of our grandparents, there were no long nights in the tundra in winter, the sun shone brightly in the sky every day. In the tundra, in the sea, it was warm, the trees and grass grew very thick, and the bear’s skin was not thick. Suddenly the sun began to come out less and less, hid itself and stopped shining altogether. Then the inhabitants of the tundra began to wait for the sun, but the sun did not come and did not come, and the nights became longer and it became colder. One day, a fearless Yukaghir went to look for the sun and disappeared, the fearless Yukaghirs went to look for him, but did not return.

Then the residents asked the moon:

- You are the moon and the sun, but you shine at night. You walk across the sky in winter, spring, summer, autumn, so tell us where our sun hid, why it hid from people, where it disappeared. Without the sun it is very bad, without the sun it is very cold.

Luna answers:

- Ask the most fearless person to find the sun.

When the inhabitants of the tundra stood and talked, the oldest grandfather came out of the yurt and said:

- Here, everything living and not living knows me, I have lived in this world for a very long time. Bear cubs and walruses know me, everything that is in the tundra, all the vegetation, everything that lies near the sea, stone, moss. Let the young people go fishing, graze the deer, but every day I sit near the fire, I can’t hunt or fish. Send me, maybe I will find the sun.

Then the inhabitants of the tundra consulted and decided to send the old man to find the sun. Grandfather decided on a long journey. He walks and walks, suddenly he sees the sun sitting by the fire and warming himself, the old man sat down near the fire next to the sun.

Then the sun asked the old man:

- Why did you come here?

And grandfather replied:

- People feel very bad without you. Don’t leave the sky in winter, we would be warm too.

The sun answers:

- In winter, you Yukaghirs are very cold, I’m also cold, I don’t have a fur coat. Look, I’m sitting near the fire, warming myself. The moon can walk across the sky in summer and winter, after all, he, too, was once like me, the sun. In winter, he didn’t go anywhere to warm up, he walked across the sky all day, so he froze and turned into ice. I can go to sky after I warm myself, but when I get cold, I will go to warm myself.

The old man could not help and had to return back. Since then, the Yukaghirs have no sun in winter, but it is always light in summer.

I attended a free lecture about the Yukaghirs. We were given a children's magazine in the Yakut language, in this issue it was written about the Yukaghirs (language, folktale, Yukaghir patterns, games and clothes).
