Vaigach Island, or Hybidi-I, for millennia was considered Nenets to be a sacred territory, where hehe, heavenly defenders live. Every year, on Cape Bolvan nose, where wooden images of tribal spirits once stood, they came to commit sacrifices from the whole of the Bolshemelskaya tundra. It was there that in the conditions of isolation until the middle of the 20th century, traditional customs, the belief in the heavenly patronage of the god Num and the ancient art of the oral transmission of legends and legends about shamans and heroes of the past, were preserved.
The materials of 1930-1940, which were included in the photo album, collected by the polar explorer M.S. Sinitsyn, they talk about the last storyteller of the island - inexpensive, whose legacy - the collection of epic texts “The Spirits of the Tundra” - was published only 70 years after the recording.
In the photo - the disappearance of the life of traditional reindeer herders and hunters, Nenets camps and Russian camps, as well as the life of workers of the first polar station. For the first time, legends and stories about shamans and spirits collected on Vaigach are given
