Abstract
The author, a geographer specializing in the Russian North, surveys the problems confronting the “small peoples” of the North-both those arising as a result of the region's current economic transition and those persisting from the Soviet period. These include drastic reductions in state funding; falling standards of living; rising prices for basic necessities; increasing unemployment; need for additional legislative support for access to land, resources, and cultural autonomy; threats to traditional lifestyles and activities; and deterioration of the natural environment supporting those lifestyles and activities. 1 map, 1 table, 29 references.Keywords
