“…The Indigenous peoples of the north are one of the most vulnerable groups in the Arctic [40]. However, they have "extensive knowledge and experience adapting to rapidly changing ecosystems, which allows them to take advantage of biophysical and social changes" [41]. The UN highlighted the critical problems increasing the vulnerability of the Indigenous societies: insufficient involvement of Indigenous peoples in the development and implementation of public policy; the "import" of workers, which leads to the risk of virus transmission in the local communities; and the increasing digital divide between Indigenous and non-Indigenous societies [42].…”

The article presents the challenges of the Indigenous peoples’ interplay with the key actors (Indigenous communities, Indigenous associations, regional governments, corporate businesses, and scientific institutions) in the Russian Arctic. Invoking actor–network theory offered knowledge to analyse how the effectiveness of this collaboration may lead to Indigenous peoples’ social adaptation in the COVID-19 times. It revealed the main problems increasing their vulnerability and making barriers to meeting sustainable development goals (SDGs). The primary sources included the data collected from expert interviews in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and the Murmansk region in 2020–2021. The main findings proved the gaps in the interplay of Indigenous peoples with key actors in the Russian Arctic due to insufficient interregional and international cooperation, indirect communication of governments with Indigenous peoples via Indigenous associations and communities focused mostly on supporting elites, and the lack of systematic feedback of all key actors. This collaboration must be focused on meeting SDGs and guaranteeing their economic, social, and cultural rights to maintain a traditional lifestyle and livelihoods, involving them in natural resource management, improving quality of life and well-being, increasing access to ethnocultural education, reducing inequality, and promoting Indigenous peoples’ self-government.

The study concluded with the following thesis: under the new pension reform, the low standard of living of pensioners is a social challenge, and their growing number will cause an expansion of social localization of poverty.
