  • A Case of Chukotka
    ISSN 1883-1656 Центр Российских Исследований RRC Working Paper Series No. 71 Demographic Situation and Its Perspectives in the Russian Far East: A Case of Chukotka Kazuhiro KUMO August 2017 RUSSIAN RESEARCH CENTER INSTITUTE OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH HITOTSUBASHI UNIVERSITY Kunitachi, Tokyo, JAPAN DEMOGRAPHIC SITUATION AND ITS PERSPECTIVES IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST: A CASE OF CHUKОТКА Kazuhiro KUMO 1. INTRODUCTION The purposes of the present study are, first of all, a general review of the population migration patterns in the Far East region of Russia following the demise of the Soviet Union; and secondly, a study of the situation that emerged in the developing regions as a result of the state policy of the Soviet period, using the example of the demographic trends in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug as one of the most distal Russian territories with respect to the center of Russia. To date, several studies have been conducted on inter-regional migration in Russia; by the the author (Kumo, 1997, 2003) a comparative analysis of migration in the post-Soviet Russia was conducted and major changes taking place in the migration patterns were considered in the specified periods. Yu. Andrienko and S. Guriev (Andrienko and Guriev, 2002) performed a comparative analysis of inter-regional migration based on the gravity model and showed that the adoption of the migration decision by the population depended on the regional-economic variables. The results of the above-mentioned studies demonstrate that traditional means of analyzing migration patterns can be applied to Russia, which went through the change in the state system, and the authors conclude that migration flows are largely dependent on economic reasons.

Magadan Oblast was established on December 3, 1953. Until 1992, the region included Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The Oblast’s administrative, social and economic center is the city of Magadan, which has over 67% of the region’s population and is home to many large organizations. Magadan is 7,110 km away from Moscow. Magadan Oblast on the Russian Federation map: Источник: http://ru.wikipedia.org Magadan Oblast covers an area of around 462,500 sq. km1, which makes it the 11th largest region of Russia. At the same time, the Oblast is one of the most sparsely populated places in the country (population density was 0.33 people per 1 km2 as of January 1, 2014). It stretches 930 km from north to south and 960 km from west to east. Geographically, it is part of Russia’s Extreme North-East, a land-locked area characterized by a severe climate. The Oblast is washed by the Sea of Okhotsk. Land boundaries are in thinly populated mountainous areas. The Oblast borders with Khabarovsk Krai in the west, Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in the north-west, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the north- east, and with Kamchatka Krai in the south-east.

  • Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (The Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea)
    Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (the Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea) Seventeenth century 1629 At the Yenisei Voivodes’ House “The Inventory of the Lena, the Great River” was compiled and it reads that “the Lena River flows into the sea with its mouth.” 1633 The armed forces of Yenisei Cossacks, headed by Postnik, Ivanov, Gubar, and M. Stadukhin, arrived at the lower reaches of the Lena River. The Tobolsk Cossack, Ivan Rebrov, was the first to reach the mouth of Lena, departing from Yakutsk. He discovered the Olenekskiy Zaliv. 1638 The first Russian march toward the Pacific Ocean from the upper reaches of the Aldan River with the departure from the Butalskiy stockade fort was headed by Ivan Yuriev Moskvitin, a Cossack from Tomsk. Ivan Rebrov discovered the Yana Bay. He Departed from the Yana River, reached the Indigirka River by sea, and built two stockade forts there. 1641 The Cossack foreman, Mikhail Stadukhin, was sent to the Kolyma River. 1642 The Krasnoyarsk Cossack, Ivan Erastov, went down the Indigirka River up to its mouth and by sea reached the mouth of the Alazeya River, being the first one at this river and the first one to deliver the information about the Chukchi. 1643 Cossacks F. Chukichev, T. Alekseev, I. Erastov, and others accomplished the sea crossing from the mouth of the Alazeya River to the Lena. M. Stadukhin and D. Yarila (Zyryan) arrived at the Kolyma River and founded the Nizhnekolymskiy stockade fort on its bank.

Bull. 5: 25–27. Abstract: The arctic region has experienced warming in recent years, resulting in decreased summer sea ice cover and increased sea surface temperatures. In September 2007, the U.S. BASIS survey extended surface trawling into the Chukchi Sea. Juvenile (young-of-the-year) chum salmon were collected at most stations. Genetic methods using microsatellite and SNP loci were applied to identify the origin of a subset of juvenile chum salmon collected in the Chukchi Sea and Bering Strait. Most of the juvenile chum salmon caught in the Bering Strait were from populations of the Anadyr-Kanchalan river system of northeastern Russia and the majority of fish collected in the Chukchi Sea site were from populations of northwestern Alaska. Keywords: genetic stock identification, juvenile chum salmon, Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea INTRODUCTION Oceans Canada (Beacham et al. 2008) is being developed and will be coupled with data from single-nucleotide-poly- The sea surface temperature in the arctic marginal seas morphism (SNP) markers from nuclear and mitochondrial has increased since the mid-1960s.
