This can be related to the year 1781, when Prince Tajšin attacked the princedom of Ljapin together with the Nenets because the Ljapin prince accepted baptism. The eating of the heart(s) of the enemies by the winners of a war is a motif in Khanty folklore. (Bachrušin 1935: 67; Patkanov 2003: 91–92)

When the Ostyaks adopted Christianity, the Samoyeds became furious, attacked the Ostyaks, captured and plundered Berezov, and killed a lot of people. Tradition tells us that they took out the hearts of the deceased and ate them.
