The Insider reports that an investigation by Arctida identified links between Russia’s official Indigenous representatives at United Nations events, security services and extractive industries. The report raises questions about whether independent Indigenous voices can participate freely in international forums.


The article connects these findings with the prosecution of Selkup rights defender Daria Egereva and pressure on the Aborigen Forum network. Her lawyer describes the case as targeting peaceful advocacy.
