| Summary: | Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is the Russian region known throughout the world for Roman Abramovich, one of the richest businessmen in Europe, who was the governor of the region until recently (until July 3, 2008). This paper aims to show the current social conditions in Chukotka mainly on the basis of our field research trip to the region in August-September 2007. Chukota, the northeastern-most region of Russia, faced a severe economic slump and significant depopulation during the 1990s after the Soviet collapse in 1991. In contrast to the gloomy past of the region, during our field trip, we found that the economy of Chukotka is now experiencing a revival fostered by new kinds of economic activities, resulting in an improvement in the living conditions of the indigenous people. 研究ノート(Note) application/pdf departmental bulletin paper
