The most populous Finno-Ugric peoples, Estonians, Finns and Hungarians, constitute their own national statehood and have become largely urban nations, whereas the way of life of the Maris and Udmurts by the Volga River is still mostly agrarian, with their identity based on village environment.
For an Udmurt, this is the Russian culture - but the Tatar culture, considered alien and as something that fortifies the identity and draws the borders, operates at a greater distance.
In Estonia this boundary is between Estonian Lutheranism and the Russian Orthodox Church, while in Udmurtia the border is between the Orthodox faith of both the Udmurts and the Russians, and the Islam of the Tatars.
