Notes
1. Russian edition of the book is a translation from the Hungarian original (Nagy, Az őseink még hittek az ördögökben).
2. Khanty is a Finno-Ugric people in Western Siberia, 30,943 people. According to the National Population Census of 2010, Tomsk region is home to only 2.3% of the total number of Khanty; the vast majority of the Khanty live in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District – 61.6%. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, Khanty are part of a group of the so-called small-in-number indigenous peoples of the Far North, Siberia, and the Far East.
3. In recent years, research of interdisciplinary nature has appeared in which the sacred places are also considered, taking into account their specific geophysical confinement and, at the same time, taking into account the socio-religious context. See, e.g., Gomboev and Tkachenko, “Interdisciplinary Approach to the Study of Sacred Places,” 93–103.
4. Here and in other places of this book, the author is presented as a man, and two of her surnames for some reason are given with a hyphen.
