So, Yoshkar-Ola is Russia in a box: exportable violence, scams, and slavic paganism. All it is missing is some raw natural resource that gets mined and exported without processing.

Prigozhin visited one of our prisons once; that’s the only violence there is. The paganism is not Slavic, it's Uralic. Local indigenous people are related to the Finns.

Hate to be pedantic, but it's definitely not slavic paganism. Finno-Ugric, maybe.

As far as I know, known sources for Slavic paganism are terrible, so finding extant practitioners would be a huge deal.
