During Russian Communism, what was with the Eskimos?

Question

Cause during the comunism from 1917-1991, Russia was dictated. You were not allowed to have a religion. You were not allowed to do or to talk about alot of things. But all the way in the Russian arctic, there are a group of Eskimos called the Yupik. They have a traditional culture and religion. They're the only tribe I know in Russia, so if there are more, can you tell me plz? Anyway, during communism, were the Yupik people and other tribes allowed to practice they're culture, or did the Russians forced them not to? Or did the Russians leave them alone? If a Russian soldier back then saw a Yupik family practicing they're culture, what would the soldier do? I suppose there were'nt much people all the way up there back then, but during a few times, there must have been a few. What did the Russians do with their arctic wildlife? And were there a few Yupik people in Moscow? Are there any Yupik people in Moscow today? Thanxs

Plz do not say this question's dumb.

Answer 1

i guess they were allowed to practice their culture, they are far north and communism didn't supress all religion
orthodoxism was still practiced
just my opinion
there is a page on wikipedia about yupik
