We go over Sakha and the Sakha people, the history of diamond extraction in Sakha, and then went over the politics of indigeneity in Russia, how these diamonds were branded as "indigenous", and how sanctions on Russia impact the indigenous Sakha people. With so much in this conversation, you are sure to learn a lot, and we hope you will help by sharing this with your comrades!
