She is also a leader of the Mari community in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug \u2013 Yugra, where thousands of Mari migrants live. After graduating from the Mari State University, Sungurova moved with her husband to Yugra, a land of kindred Finno-Ugric peoples Khanty and Mansi, thousand miles away from their native places, to start a new life. Soon after arriving in Yugra, Sungurova established her own Mari people\u2019s organization, Mariy Ushem (The Mari Union), in the city of Surgut, bringing together hundreds of Mari people who had moved to this new &#8220;promised land&#8221; looking for better opportunities. Now her organization has 7 branches in different settlements of Yugra region. Yugra is known to be a region of active oil and gas extraction and people usually come here to make more money.<\/p><p>&#8220;I feel myself as I\u2019m at home. We are on the land of our kindred peoples \u2013 Khanty and Mansi \u2013 there are plenty things that we share together&#8217;, Sungurova told URALIC Beat. \u201eDespite this close cultural connection to the indigenous peoples of the region, the region itself somehow reminds America as a land for newcomers to settle in, where the general profile of the inhabitants show more diversity than in many other Russian regions\u201c, Sungurova explained. She says that the Mari who came to Yugra are a distinct people. &nbsp;\u201eThey are courageous to start a new life in new circumstances, they have stamina to overcome all the obstacles they could face, they are devoted and hardworking. They earn not only for themselves but for their parents and relatives overseas to create better opportunities for them,\u201c Sungurova said.<\/p><p>During the announcement of the Waterfowl Prize to Sungurova, Fenno-Ugria board member and founder of the prize, T\u00f5nu Seilenthal, noted that Raisiya has authority among the youth, we are convinced that her activity reduces the Russification of Mari youth. Raisiya Sungurova is a true leader of her people, because she believes in her people and culture and is proud to be Mari.\u201c<\/p><p>Sungurova is an author of three poetry books, for the second book <i>Chaygorkashte sandalyk<\/i>&nbsp;(&#8220;The world in a tea cup&#8221;) she was awarded both in Mari El by state prize for the youth and in Estonia. Her last book (<i>Kava vola kopash<\/i>, 2017) includes free verses which is an innovation for Mari poetic tradition.<\/p><p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/uralic.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uralic.org<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raisiya Sungurova was awarded the Lennart Meri\u2019s Waterfowl prize for her role as Mari community leader in the Yugra region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":18216,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1096],"tags":[3216,3248,3255,3286],"class_list":["post-18606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-2020-en","tag-waterfowl-fund-en","tag-mari-en","tag-person-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Raisiya Sungurova: &quot;Mari people in Yugra are on the land of our kindred peoples&quot;
