One of the titular nationalities of the Russian Federation. A Finno-Ugric people living (primarily) in the Republic of Udmurtia. There are about 750,000 Udmurts living in Russia today, most in Udmurtia. Their capital city is Izhevsk.

Interestingly, the Udmurts have a storied history of cannibalism, a custom rumored to still be practices in some of the republic's hinterlands today. Indeed, the word "Udmurt," in its own language, means "man eaters."

I bet the local tourism bureau keeps that under wraps.
