Depends on who you ask, 8K-BAM isn't being systematically patched but rather is kept alive by contributions of users independent from each other
It's the Russian form of Wuyibeiguo(*), the Chinese name for a tribal group mentioned in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, located beyond the Wusun and thus outside of China's direct contact. If we trust that there was something confederacy-shaped in that direction, this tribal confederacy likely corresponds with the Sargat archaeological culture that was thriving in that area at that time. And given the location, this culture would have been Ugric-speaking.
Also, it was the 4th century AD, not BC. It's from the record of the Three Kingdoms after all, not something earlier like the Records of the Grand Historian.
(*): lit. 'north Wuyi country', said to be directly north of Yancai, who are the Alans. The Yancai were located in Kazakhstan, directly south of the Sargat culture.

It's just that I try to take information from Wikipedia, and sometimes I have to look into other language sections to find information about something. BC and AD is just a typo.
Useful to mention that this map from c. 400 AD contains artificial man-made reservoirs which were not built by the Soviets until over 1000 years later.
*shrug* And it'll need some cleanup. So what?
It's accurate as far as the bounds of the archaeological culture, so all it would take to get the map to reflect the situation of the living culture in the 4th century AD, as opposed to its dead remains in the 21st, is to remove the anachronistic reservoirs.
