Topic: Mordvinia


In the News (Thu 23 May 13)

  
  Mordvinia --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Mordvinia occupies a gently rolling plain crossed by the broad, shallow, often swampy valley of the Moksha River in the west and the Sura, a direct tributary of the Volga, in the east.
The third largest Uralic language in number of speakers, ranking after Hungarian and Finnish, it has two major dialects: Erzya, spoken in the eastern portion of Mordvinia and the surrounding territory; and Moksha, spoken in the west.
Under the Soviet government the Mordvins were given some autonomy in 1928, and a Mordvinian autonomous republic, which lasted from 1934 to 1991, had its capital at Saransk.

 Mordvin (300-1500 AD) - DBA 2.0 Variant Army List   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The Hungarian monk traveller Julianius (Rubrook) traveled through Mordvinia in 1236 AD, taking note of the "Morduans" who were still very warlike and took human heads as trophies.
In the mid-13th Century, the Mordvin suffered the Mongol conquest as it passed enroute from the Volga Bulgars to Russia, and thereafter fell under the rule of the Golden Horde.
Similarly, Mordvins are not listed in the army of the Mongol Conquest (IV/35) which overran the Volga Bulgars, Mordvinia and most of Rus, but are elements of the Golden Horde, the Mongols who stayed to occupy that region.

A frying pan, an ardent lover and a kitchen in Mordvinia: Love hurts!
A doctor working in a hospital in the town of Ruzayevka, in the Russian republic of Mordvinia, probably doesn't see many surprises come through the doors of the hospital -- some industrial accidents, perhaps, the occasional mishap at the light bulb factory.
But one day such a doctor found an injured couple in the emergency room -- a 30-year-old male and a 40-year-old female.
