Origin
The Udmurts are first mentioned in written history by Herodotos by the Greek name of “Budini” who lived around the Volga and Kama rivers. The Udmurts lived close to the Scythians and even some Greeks, Gelons, had settled as fur traders among the Udmurts. There were many fortified wooden settlements along the Kama and Vitka (Viatka) rivers inhabited by Udmurts.
