In Russia, the Unified List of Indigenous Peoples has been changed. The Seto people have been added to this list. This is an Orthodox Finno-Ugric people who live in eastern Estonia and the Pechora district of the Pskov region. Its numbers are not easy to ascertain, because many Setos consider themselves Russians or Estonians. Officially, during the census, a little less than 200 citizens showed their willingness to call themselves Setos. Inclusion in the Unified List will make it possible to determine the number of Setos during the census. Seto is a native Finno-Ugric people, related in language to the Estonians, but, unlike them, predominantly of the Orthodox faith. It lives compactly in the south of Estonia and in the adjacent Pechora district of the Pskov region. The first mention of the Seto is found in official documents in 1838.
