Modern Soyots are one of the numerically insignificant peoples of Russia whose representatives live on a small territory of Okinsky District and a small part of Tunkinsky District of the Republic of Buryatia in the Russian Federation. Until 1993 they have not not officially separated from the Buryat population of the district. Soyots who settled in Tunka and left the reindeer breeding due to the lack of geographical conditions for this activit began to adopt the economic-cultural way of life of the Tunkinian Buryats and quickly merged with them. Soyots - reindeer herders migrated to Oka, to the area of Ilchir - to the watershed mountain range around the upper Irkut River: this area had good pastures with reindeer moss and suitable conditions for hunting. Here they continued to lead their traditional hunting and reindeer herding lifestyle, together with other Sayan hunters-reindeer breeders: Russian Tofs, Uygurs of the Tsaatans of Mongolia and Tuvin-Todzhin people.
