“…Specialists from Finland have positive experience in this area (Newman, 2015). The relationship between the level of support for ethno-cultural traditions and the health of the population is at the center of modern research (Klokov, 2016). A significant place in the interaction between the educational organization and the community is occupied by projects related to crime control, alcoholism, drug addiction; consulting projects in the Internet space with difficult families.…”

Today, the Arctic civilization is in a state of crisis. The indigenous peoples of the North have largely lost their appearance and the traditional way of life. They are forced to assimilate. A special kind of regional educational space (circumpolar) is noted by the researchers. It requires a new vision of the position of the Arctic and the North in the world space and its role in the progress of society. The purpose of the research is to determine some theoretical and methodological aspects (principles and conditions) of the development of the regional educational space of indigenous peoples of the North as circumpolar through the management of a dynamic exchange of educational and enlightenment information. The authors believe that the address to education and enlightenment, as a factor restraining the processes of the Arctic civilization disintegration, is relevant. The dynamics of civilization will be successful in case of the formation of the regional educational space of the indigenous peoples of the North as a circumpolar one. The first stage of this formation is the dynamic exchange of educational and enlightenment information between different Uluses (or municipal districts) of Yakutia.The purpose of this research is to determine a number of theoretical and methodological aspects (principles and conditions) of the development of the regional educational space of indigenous peoples of the North as a circumpolar, through the management of a dynamic exchange of educational and enlightenment information between different Uluses (or municipal districts) of Yakutia.

“…The first railroad, the Baikal-Amur railway (The so-called BAM track) was already constructed across the taiga in the 1970s. Megachanges in nature and society have affected all of the Evenkia-in 1927 they possessed approximately 49,000 domestic reindeer, in 1968 up to 63,800, and in the 2010s, the numbers have fallen to perhaps a low of 3000 animals [47].…”

Return of Nimat?—Wild Reindeer as an Indicator of Evenki Biocultural Systems

This paper reviews oral histories and established scientific materials regarding wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus spp.) in the Southern Sakha-Yakutia, in the Neriungri district and surrounding highlands, river valleys and taiga forest ecosystems. Wild reindeer is seen as an ecological and cultural keystone species through which environmental and social changes can be understood and interpreted. Oral histories of Evenki regarding wild reindeer have been documented in the community of Iyengra between 2005 and 2020. During this 15-year-co-researchership the Southern Sakha-Yakutian area has undergone rapid industrial development affecting the forest and aquatic ecosystems. The wild reindeer lost habitats and dwindles in numbers. We demonstrate that the loss of the wild reindeer is not only a loss of biodiversity, but also of cultural and linguistic diversity as well as food security. Our interpretative and analytical frame is that of emplacement. Socio-ecological systems have the potential and capacity to reconnect and re-establish themselves in post-extractive landscapes, if three main conditions are met. These conditions for successful emplacement include (1) surviving natural core areas, (2) links to cultural landscape knowledge and (3) an agency to renew endemic links.

“…Krupnik (1989) developed the more general doctrine of ethnoecosystems. Russian cultural geogra-phers working in this area focus primarily on the relationship between the traditional nature management of small peoples and the geographical landscape; in the 2000s-2020s, many in-depth and serious scientific studies were carried out on this issue (Klokov, 2012(Klokov, , 2016Ragulina, 2000;Territorii …, 2005;Schmidt et al, 2015).…”

Abstract— The article reviews and analyzes trends in the development of Russian cultural geography at the beginning of the 21st century, its specific features, and the latest scientific achievements with respect to the evolution of cultural geography in Western countries. Similarities and differences in the transformation of the main theoretical approaches, scientific methods, and subject areas of specific cultural and geographical studies in foreign countries and Russia are revealed. The most important thematic sections of the article cover the most significant segments of cultural and geographical research in Russia in the 2000s–early 2020s. It is shown that the main focus in the formation of Russian cultural geography (after several decades of neglecting anthropocultural approaches in the Soviet period) was cultural landscape science. The latest advances of Russian cultural geographers in the field of cultural landscape for the first decades of the 21st century are characterized. Domestic ethnic geography, which developed during the Soviet period as part of population geography, is gradually transforming to ethnocultural. Much attention is paid to the correlation of ethnic and regional identity in polyethnic regions, ethnocultural aspects of the geography of nature management, cultural geography of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. Religious geography is a new direction of cultural geography for Russia, which has gained great relevance in the post-Soviet period in the revival of religious life in a country characterized by exceptional complexity and the diverse religious composition of the population. The article discusses and analyzes the experience of Russian developments in humanitarian geography—a set of research areas focused on studying systems of ideas about the geographic space in different sociocultural contexts. The great practical significance of cultural and geographical research and the possibility of their use for regional development and optimization of the spatial organization of society are emphasized.
