Abstract
At the rum of the nineteenth-beginning of the twentieth centuries, Russian ethnography began to have a deeper interest in the peoples of the outlying hinterlands of Russia. Work in this period was particularly intense in Siberia, where most of the material gathered was on the ethnography of the Yakut [Sakha], Tungus (Evenk), Yukagir, Chukchi, and Koryak. Internal political exiles played a significant role in gathering this information. Among such researchers as D. A. Klements, V. G. Bogoras, V. I. Jochelson, and L. Ia. Shternberg, an honored place belongs to the leading Yakutologist, the linguist and ethnographer Eduard Karlovich Pekarskii.
