I bring neutrality into question

This page seems strangely positive for one about forced assimilation of indigenous groups and I question whether this is a balanced account of this phase of history. " In the success of such a process, the result is neither total assimilation nor total acculturation. National groups have a political identity and operate inside of the Moscow political structure yet maintain aspects of their culture." " On the other hand, shamanism in the modern day has experienced a severe decline, as the community has begun to perceive of shamanism as "bad." This perception reveals the effect that past policies have finally effected: a fear of the political power of shamans and the turmoil they were able to create"

As contrasted with this passage from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenets_people

"After the Russian Revolution, their culture suffered due to Soviet collectivisation policy. The government of the Soviet Union tried to force the nomadic Samoyeds to settle down permanently. They were forced to settle in villages and their children were educated in state boarding schools, which resulted in erosion of their cultural identity. Many, especially in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug lost their mother tongue and became assimilated."

If this is like the residential schools phase in Canada, a lot of children were raped and/or lost their lives needlessly, while attempts were made to force them to join the dominant culture. Perhaps a Nenet writer should be invited to contribute somehow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.248.82 (talk) 15:28, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

i bring "your" neutrality into the question. you've compared one "neutral" remark on this post to an obviously biased remark in another. then you speculate that the students must have been raped, you say this without any sort of source. so where is your neutrality, wikizen? 70.185.38.232 (talk) 08:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
