The Kazym Rebellion (Russian: Казымское восстание) was a revolt by the Khanty people of western Siberia[1] against the collectivisation policies of the Soviet government in 1933.
Some sources describe the events as "Kazym rebellions", listing a series of conflicts starting in 1931, with some half-hearted attempts at reconciliation from Soviet side, but culminating in forceful suppression in 1933 and repression in 1934.
In theory, cultural bases were meant to entice the Khanty people into village life with the benefits of schools, hospitals, stores, and other communal conveniences.
Additionally, compulsory attendance in boarding schools located in towns such as Kazym meant that Khanty children were removed from traditional homes and could be stopped from speaking their native tongue or following their cultural beliefs.
[4] Yeremey Aypin [ru], a Khanty writer, wrote a novel titled Our Lady in the blood-splattered snow (Russian: «Божья матерь в кровавых снегах»), which was published in 2002 and served as a basis for a movie named The Khanty Saga (Russian: "Сага о Хантах") produced in 2008.
