In the Soviet Union everyone was suppose to have equal opportuny. In “Samoyed Boy,” a Nenetz (Eskimo) boy exposes the tricks of the shaman (tribal medicine man/magician) who members of the tribe believe can cure them by putting animal spirits into their bodies. Humiliated, the shaman drives the boy from the village. He is rescued by a Soviet ship and taken to Leningrad where he studies at special University for Northern Peoples -- beneath the portraits of Marx and Lenin.
