The Meryans (also Merya people; Russian: меряне, meryane or меря, marya) were an ancient Finnic people that lived in the Upper Volga region.[1][2] The Primary Chronicle places them around the Nero and Pleshcheyevo lakes. They were assimilated to Russians around the 13th century[3], but there has been a modern revival of Meryan culture and language, termed Meryan ethnofuturism.
