About Yakutia

Yakutia, or Sakha as it is known to its indigenous locals, is named after the Yakut (Sakha) people, who are remotely related to Turks. While most of Sakhas are, at least nominally, Orthodox Christians, there are still many remnants of their ancient religion,Tengriism(a kind of sun-worship, with shamanistic practices). Other aspects of indigenous Sakha culture have started going through a revival as well. Yakutia extends over threetime zones: UTC+9, +10, and +11, with the capitalYakutsklying in UTC+9.
