A review by alfia
The Chukchi Bible by Yuri Rytkheu

5.0

Fascinating, insightful and poignant collection of ancestral Luoravetlan (Chukchi) lore and history as told by the Sovietized grandson of one of its last pre-Soviet era shamans. Another testament to the destructive and stupid impact of racial and ideological supremacism, as well as to the relentless march of time and change. Marvelous cast of characters, stunning atmospheres. 5 out of 5, would read again.
