Russian term or phrase: паяна
Для сравнения приведу две легенды о Шуню. Первая записана А. Г. Данилиным от ярлыка Александры Шабураковой. Вторая записана мной в 1991 г. от бачатской телеутки, жительницы с. Верховская (Беловский р-н Кемеровской обл.) 74-летней П. С. Чаштановой.

(Вторая) "Отец дрова покупать уехал в Бачат. Прямой дорогой не поехал через деревню. Поехал через гору, потому что ему надо было камлать дорогой. Всю дорогу камлал. "Вижу, - рассказывает, - два военных офицера едут... Они меня дождались, остановили меня. "Давай покурим", - говорят. Как покурили, стали спрашивать: "В вашей деревне внизу на лугу березы. Там конские шкуры, головы, ноги. Что это такое? Для чего?" - "Это мы паяна делали. Камлали - голову, кожу вешали. Многие скотины там".

Looks like паять to me, but I can't figure out what soldering has to do with anything here.

the name of the religion / people of that religion


Explanation:
This has nothing to do with the verb "паять". Это больше похоже на название религии телеутского народа. Как, например, "мы, христиане" и т.д.

sacrifice (just a guess)


Explanation:
Hi James -

This is merely a guess:

I think what's being described is a sacrifice: they killed the horse, hanged the skins, ate the meat. I am guessing that паян is the local word for that.

I am also guessing that payanalu is what they called themselves - it sounds like a turkic word to me. That would of course make sense geographically, and the ending "lu" here, I think, is a turkic post-position meaning "of,from" , i.e: People of "Payan". "People of sacrifice", then?

Again, I've got nothing to back up this guess.
