DaCruzNut Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 URUGUAY<>YAKUTIA (OK, so I never heard of it, either....) As big as India and as empty and remote as Iceland. That could be a good summary of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The country is by far the largest of the autonomous republics of the Russian Federation. And besides that, it is very rich in natural resources and much closer to North Asia than to European Russia. But if the Sakha republic is named that way, its is because it is the homeland of the Sakha, who form the vast majority of its indigenous population. Confronted with the legacy of centuries of Russian colonization, the Sakhas find themselves with the challenge of asserting themselves in a changed international environment.
