FINNO-UGRIANS, a people and language stock originally hailing from the border of Russia and Siberia, although spread over the a wide area from Hungary in the west to possibly the northern portions of Jakutistan nearing the Okhotsk sea. The Finno-Ugrian languages may be spoken by as many as 10 million people, although most of these are mongrelized and no longer represent the ancient Uralic race (see URALIC AND ALTAIC PEOPLES for a more detailed discussion).
Because of the great age of Finno-Ugric migrations, the exact details cannot be well understood; it seems that they wandered into Northern Europe and Scandinavia as many as two millennia ago, displacing a people related to the Cro-magnon and modern Lapps, who now speak a Finno-Ugrian language. Those inhabiting Hungary and Transylvania are much more recent, and in fact in these parts the Finno-Ugric element (which came from the Urals rather than the Volga regions where Finns originated) is quite small and only a few "Szeklers" or nomadic pastoralists seem to preserve their Finno-Ugric customs and appearance. Although once a moderately expansionistic people (at least in the case of the Magyars), the Finno-Ugrians have tended in the last millennium or so to be pushed into smaller and more marginal habitations; this has been particularly true in Russia, where the Finnish and their allies once predominated in the north of the country but are now found only on its fringes.
The two distinctions within the Finno-Ugric race are that of Finns and Ugrians proper, and the Samoyeds; the latter, who number only 20,000, live in Siberia amongst the Ostiaks and Yenisey and live a harsh, dreadful life of hunters and fishermen in perpetual winter. The Finno-Ugrians proper can be split into the Finno-Volgans, who include Finns and Estonians on one hand and Mordovians, Permaks and Marris on the other, and the Ugrians or Ob-Ostyaks, who include the Hanti and Mansys of the Ural region and Ob river taiga and the original stock of the Magyars or Hungarians. The Lapps are Finnic in language but racially recall a much older stock, perhaps Basque-derived.
All pure Finno-Ugrians, and many mixed ones, are morose, taciturn, and shy in their behavior, and regard the Russians as far too emotional and sentimental. They abhor slavery in their own society, but make great slaves when conquered by other peoples, as all the Finno-Ugric races except the Magyars have been generally peaceful, unwarlike, and incapable of founding lasting kingdoms or states of their own. They do not regard education highly and contend themselves better with poverty and misery than with attempts to better their condition; this is particularly true of the Finns of Finland, who enjoy relative independence from marauding neighbors, yet have squandered it for a drunken peasant life.
In the purest Finnish communities, which are those on the Volga, especially the Mari or Cheremys, one meets with elements of village communism, matriarchy and polyandry. In those which are mixed or influenced by Indo-European races one finds they whole-heartedly adopt the customs of those peoples; thus the Mordovians and Permiaks all live in obschina like the Slavic Russians, and have adopted many of their pagan and Christian superstitions; the Magyars appear similar in many ways to the Bohemian and Rumanian peasants living nearby; the Finns and Estonians to the Norsemen. All Finno-Ugric communities are, however, highly nationalistic and find it insulting to be told they are "Russian" in any sense; and they hold xenophobic attitudes toward foreigners in general, especially those coming from the west.
The Finno-Ugric primordial religion was shamanistic and involved a cult of natural gods; it does not seem to have ever come under any influence from the Turkic concept of Tangri, nor from the Mohammedan doctrines, though the peoples of the Volga have long been in contact with both pagan and Mohammedan Turks. Most Finnic peoples are still pagan, and the nature cult is very strong in the Russian tribes; here, especially amongst the Ostyak, it involves the collective shamanic journey using the hallucinogenic amanita muscaria mushroom. Elsewhere, it is heavily associated with the mysticism of the sauna, a Finnish invention; and amongst the Baltic Finns and the Estonians there is a heavy influence of the Germanic-Norse religion on the people; the national epic of Vainamoinen, which is one of the few books ever circulated in Finland, betrays many parallels to heroic sagas of the gods of Valhalla, although in characteristically Finnish fashion, warfare is not emphasized.
The pure Magyars who came to Hungary adopted the Catholic religion of the Slavic peasantry, and now follow it more or less faithfully. Otherwise, Christianity has not made significant inroads among any Finno-Ugrian people.
Languages and anthropology - The Finno-Ugrian languages are of the broader Turko-Altaic pattern, with heavy agglutination and lack of grammatical gender. They may be related to the Turkic and Mongolian languages in some remote time in history, although this has not been conclusively established. Racially, the purest Finno-Ugrians do somewhat resemble Siberian Turks and Tartars, although they are generally lighter in skin complexion and hair.
Finno-Ugrian peoples, when unmixed, are generally not a handsome people, though less hideous than the Kalmucks or Yakuts. The women age poorly and frequently become obese; the men's features are easily worn by the hard lives they lead in the taigas and forests of the far north. Only the Magyars, who live in a more southerly and less demanding clime, and with better agricultural technology, seem to carry on with a spark of beauty, mirth and good health -- and even this may be a result of large scale racial and cultural mixing on their part.
