Karyms Explained

Karyms (Russian: Карымы) is an ethnic group in Russia which are métises of mixing Russians with Evenks and Buryats resulting from the lack of women among Russian settlers.[1]

In the 2002 Russian Census, 2 persons self-identified themselves as Karyms[2] and were included into the ethnicity "Russians".

The Russian volcano, Karymsky was named after the ethnic group.
