Северное оленеводство в структуре сельского хозяйства Камчатского края во все времена являлось главной и традиционной отраслью хозяйствования коренных малочисленных народов полуострова. Это не только образ жизни, единственный источник существования оленеводов и их семей, но и предмет национальной гордости.

Государственная поддержка оленеводства осуществляется в виде предоставления субсидий из федерального и регионального бюджетов. В 2009 году на развитие северного оленеводства в Камчатском крае из бюджетов всех уровней было выделено 88,4 млн. рублей, из них 80 млн. – средства краевого бюджета. С 2010 года Правительство Камчатского края реализует отдельную программу по поддержке и развитию северного оленеводства до 2012 года. Общий объем финансирования Программы составит 381 млн. рублей, из которых 345 млн. – средства краевого бюджета. В Камчатском крае насчитывается около 37 тысяч голов оленей, из которых в оленеводческих организациях – 35 тысяч, а в частных хозяйствах – 2 тысячи голов.

К сожалению, некогда высокорентабельное производство превратилось в хронически убыточное и уже значительный период времени находится в глубочайшем кризисе.

Напомним, до начала 90-х годов только в бывшем Корякском автономном округе северных оленей насчитывалось более 150,3 тысяч голов. В 2008 году общее число северных оленей в Камчатском крае составляло 38,2 тысячи голов.

Several measures have been evaluated to reduce the number of collisions, including fences along the most vulnerable routes, GPS monitoring, clearing of forests along the railway lines, lining the side valleys, and the use of reflectors to keep animals away from railway lines.

In 2009 it was scheduled to build a fence on a four-kilometer stretch between Semska and Sørelva and the Salt Mountain, which has been the site of numerous reindeer deaths.

Meanwhile, in the largest area of reindeer husbandry in the world, the most northerly railway in the world has just opened for business. Linking the vast gas fields of Bovanenkovo in the middle of the Yamal Peninsula to the Russian railway network, this railway has been under construction for many years and from an engineering standpoint is marvel as it is almost entirely built on permafrost and crosses several large rivers, including a 4 km long bridge across the Yuribey River floodplain. The bridge is the world’s longest above the Arctic Circle. The railroad will be used for transport of equipment and materials for the development of the gas field and for construction of the Bovanenkovo-Ukhta pipeline across the Baydaratskaya Bay a press release from Gazprom reads. The Ob-Bovanenkovo railroad is also planned to be used for transport of gas condensate from the fields on the Yamal Peninsula. For reindeer herders, the railway bisects the migration routes of several reindeer herding brigades.

Arctic railway lines are all the rage in northern Europe with feasibility reports being commissioned on extending railway routes in Norway and Finland to the Arctic Ocean.

Как сообщается на специализированном земельном портале ЗЕМ.РУ 20 января 2010 года Государственная Дума Российской Федерации рассмотрит проект федерального закона № 217488-5  ”О внесении изменений в статью 24 Земельного кодекса Российской Федерации, в статью 3 Федерального закона “О введении в действие Земельного кодекса Российской Федерации” и в статью 10 Федерального закона “Об обороте земель сельскохозяйственного назначения” (в части предоставления находящихся в государственной или муниципальной собственности земельных участков в безвозмездное срочное пользование лицам, относящимся к коренным малочисленным народам Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока и их общинам).

На рассмотрении Государственной Думы Российской Федерации находится проект федерального закона № 217488-5  ”О внесении изменений в статью 24 Земельного кодекса Российской Федерации, в статью 3 Федерального закона “О введении в действие Земельного кодекса Российской Федерации” и в статью 10 Федерального закона “Об обороте земель сельскохозяйственного назначения” (в части предоставления находящихся в государственной или муниципальной собственности земельных участков в безвозмездное срочное пользование лицам, относящимся к коренным малочисленным народам Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока и их общинам).

Законопроект имеет целью реализацию закрепленных в статье 8 федерального закона «О гарантиях прав коренных малочисленных народов Российской Федерации» прав лиц, относящихся к коренным малочисленным народам Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока, и их общин, безвозмездно пользоваться в местах традиционного проживания и традиционной хозяйственной деятельности малочисленных народов землями различных категорий, необходимыми для осуществления их традиционного хозяйствования и занятия традиционными промыслами.

Так, в пояснительной записке в данному проекту закона сказано: «Для собственников земельных участков – лиц, относящихся к коренным малочисленным народам Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока, а также общин этих народов, это право реализовано статьей 395 Налогового кодекса Российской Федерации, в соответствии с которой они освобождены от уплаты земельного налога  в отношении земельных участков, используемых для сохранения и развития их традиционного образа жизни, хозяйствования и промыслов.

Законопроектом предлагается установить в земельном законодательстве право безвозмездного пользования земельными участками для лиц, относящихся к коренным малочисленным народам Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока, и их общин, пользующихся в этих же целях земельными участками, находящимися в государственной или муниципальной собственности, в местах традиционного проживания и традиционной хозяйственной деятельности указанных коренных малочисленных народов».

Таким образом, предлагается внести дополнение в перечень, закрепленный в части первой статьи 24 Земельного кодекса Российской Федерации, устанавливающий случаи предоставления земельных участков в безвозмездное срочное пользование.

Одновременно с этим  в статье 10 федерального закона «Об обороте земель сельскохозяйственного назначения» сказано, что земельные участки из земель сельскохозяйственного назначения, находящиеся в государственной или муниципальной собственности, могут передаваться общинам коренных малочисленных народов Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока Российской Федерации для осуществления сельскохозяйственного производства, сохранения и развития традиционного образа жизни, хозяйствования и промыслов этих народов только на правах аренды. Также только на праве аренды могут быть переданы гражданам и юридическим лицам  земельные участки, занятые оленьими пастбищами в районах Крайнего Севера и отгонными пастбищами.

Так, в целях преодоления возникающих противоречий поправки предлагается внести  и в данную указанную статью. Изменения будут носить следующий характер: земельные участки, используемые общинами коренных малочисленных народов для осуществления только сельскохозяйственного производства, могут передаваться им на правах аренды, а для сохранения же и развития традиционного образа жизни, хозяйствования и промыслов земельные участки могут передаваться лицам, относящимся к коренным малочисленным народам Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока, и их общинам, в безвозмездное срочное пользование.

Данный документ нижняя палата российского парламента планирует рассмотреть 20 января текущего года.

On a remote island in the Bering Strait during World War II, a tiny band of Americans ran a radar station. Twenty-nine reindeer were placed on St. Matthew Island with them, to be eaten in case of emergency.

The emergency never came, and population biologist Dave Klein counted 6,000 reindeer on the island by 1963, spread out over just 50 square miles of land. Then, sailors started to report seeing bleached reindeer skeletons dotting the island. When Klein returned in 1966, there were only 42 left and no males with the ability to reproduce. The herd dwindled and eventually went extinct.

There this strange mystery sat for decades until extreme weather specialist John Walsh of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and University of Nebraska climatologist Martha Shulski teamed up with the now 80-year-old Klein to solve it. They announced their findings this week here at the American Geophysical Union meeting.

It turns out that a series of winter cyclones comparable in intensity to a Category 2 hurricane buffeted the island in early 1964. Overpopulated and isolated as the island was, the reindeer herd proved vulnerable to the extreme storms, which brought much heavier than normal snowfall, stronger winds, and lower temperatures.

The question that remains is why these extra-strong storms occurred. For reasons that still aren’t understood, a series of weather systems sweeping across the Pacific from Japan intensified just east of the dateline and then headed north.

Over that winter, the closest weather station to reindeer’s home, St. Paul Island, got more than six and a half feet more snow than normal. The barometric pressure differential between the low of the strongest storm and the regional high in Siberia was the highest in the 60-year period for which measurements are available. The reindeer were no match.

Russian scientists have doubts over whether global warming is here to stay and whether it’s man made. But for the Saami in Russia’s north, the mild winters already pose a threat to their traditional way of life. All around the Arctic, the effects of a temperature rise are visible, and native inhabitants of the tundras in Europa, Asia and North America are struggling with the new reality.

That’s also true for the Saami reindeer herders on Russia’s Kola Peninsula, an area bordering on Norway and Finnish Lapland. But, in Russia, climate change is not a hot-button issue, nor is much attention being paid to the upcoming climate summit in Copenhagen. Russian scientists say they have no evidence that global warming is a long-term trend, and doubt whether it is a man-made phenomenon.

A Little Ice Age?

In the country’s northern port in the town of Murmansk, the Marine Biological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences monitors life in and around the Barents Sea.

The institute has amassed an impressive database concerning temperature and salinity of the sea over the course of the 20th century. Referring to the statistics, biologist Pavel Makarevich says there are clear cycles during which both temperature and salinity rise and fall. These cycles, he says, are related to solar activity.

“In my opinion and that of our institute, the problems connected to the current stage of warming are being exaggerated,” he says. “What we are dealing with is not a global warming of the atmosphere or of the oceans.”

Makarevich expects a normalization of Arctic temperatures in the coming years. This view appears to have the support of a growing number of Russian scientists. Some even predict a temporary cooling of temperatures towards the middle of this century, a phenomenon known as a ”Little Ice Age.”

Shorter winters

But for the Saami reindeer herders on Russia’s Kola Peninsula between the Barents and the White Sea, a drop in temperature is urgently needed. Over the last few years, the winters have become milder and milder, threatening the traditional lifestyle of the Saami.

This year again, the onset of winter was late in northern Russia. Normally, the tundra would already be covered by a deep layer of snow, and the numerous lakes would have a thick layer of ice.

But snow cover is minimal and some of the lakes are not even frozen yet. For native reindeer herders, that’s a problem, because the traditional slaughter season has to be postponed.

“The slaughter used to start in early November,” says herder Nikolai Filippov. “At that time, the ice is usually strong enough to carry the reindeer. But over the past few years, the ice has been weak and sparse, so we cannot travel, and the slaughter has to be postponed until just before the New Year. This year, yields will be minimal.”

Each fall, the big reindeer herds are somewhere on the vast expanses of the Kola Peninsula. At the onset of winter, they have to be found and driven to Lovozero, the center of the Russian Saami community. But that can only happen under true winter conditions.

“Last year it was exactly the same. This year we do not know yet how the herds are, and what will happen later in the autumn,” Filippov says.

“Sometimes it is still raining around the New Year, and you cannot go over bare ice with the reindeer. So then you will have to wait until after the New Year. In fact, the winter only starts in January. For now it is a mixture of frost and thaw.”

The capricious weather has all kinds of practical consequences for the everyday life of the Saami. Nikolai Filippov and his wife Maria live in a chum, a traditional Saami tipi-like tent with a hole in the top to let out the smoke.

Maria used to prepare lots of food for the winter. But now that is out of the question, because the thaw often comes in the middle of winter and the meat can no longer be preserved. The tundra is no longer a reliable natural refrigerator.

“In the old days it never rained in December,” says Maria Filippova. “When it rains in winter, the snow disappears and we can’t move on with our animals to search for reindeer moss.”

For thousands of years, the Saami lived according to an ancient and extremely reliable calendar. But today, says Nikolai Filippov, everything seems to be off course. For him, there is no question that nature is changing. What is happening in the tundra today is something the 59-year-old has never seen before.

The Arctic as a future trading route

The city of Murmansk, a few hours’ drive to the north, seems a world away. In the harbor, there’s the Lenin – the first Soviet nuclear-powered icebreaker built in the 1950s. Today, the heavy vessel is a museum. Andrei Smirnov was the Lenin’s last captain when the ship was retired in 1989.

“No other country has boundaries like Russia that stretch so far to the North,” Smirnov says. He is convinced that Russia will need icebreakers like this one, now and in the future.

“We have been using the northern passage since 1932. It is a sea route of national significance, and since 1991, foreign ships have also been allowed to use it. This year as well, foreigners have used the passage, and we have successfully guided them through with our icebreakers.”

Smirnov is referring to ships belonging to the German company Beluga. Earlier this year, they made an impressive voyage from South Korea to Rotterdam, via the Arctic seas north of Russia.

The trip was meant to prove that the North Pole ice is retreating as a result of global warming, and that the northern passage could become an attractive, much shorter alternative for existing routes like the one via the Suez Canal. It sounds great, but longtime members of Russia’s Northern Fleet, such as Nikolai Babich, can only laugh at the thought..

“Saying that one could navigate in the polar seas without the help of icebreakers, or even reach the North Pole unhindered, no, that is not serious,” says Babich.

Babich feels at home in the Russian Arctic. He has visited almost every corner of it during  the last 40 years, and he claims there is no-one like him who has studied the area in such detail. The recent rise in global temperature has surprised neither him nor his colleagues. It has happened in the past, he says, and it will happen again.

“The natural processes we have seen during the past decade are mainly the result of the sun’s activity. They show a slight increase in temperature, and as a result, Arctic ice has receded,” he says.

But according to Babich, the situation is changing. The Arctic, he says, is already cooling, not warming. And the Russian government is attentively listening to those scientists who, like Babich, are predicting a cold spell.

В итоговом бюджете расходы на государственную поддержку северного оленеводства составили всего 180 млн. руб.

В первоначальном варианте проекта бюджета государственная поддержка северного оленеводства вообще не была предусмотрена. Министерство сельского хозяйства Российской Федерации в связи с антикризисными мерами решила изъять из бюджета отдельную строчку, которая многие годы существовала и содержала расходы на поддержание оленеводства.

На сайте ПОЛИТ.ру сообщается, что в третьем чтении законопроект по бюджету представил председатель комитета Госдумы по бюджету и налогам Юрий Васильев. Он сообщил, что ко второму чтению подано 587 поправок, из них 299 приняты в т. ч. по поддержке северного оленеводства. «Ну как не поддержать северное оленеводство», — сказал глава бюджетного комитета. Однако председатель комитета по делам Севера Валентина Пивненко заявила, что поддержка северного оленеводства сокращена вдвое, «мы больше потратим на северный завоз» – сказала она.

Помимо уже предусмотренных средств, на поддержку сельского хозяйства дополнительно выделено 3,5 млрд руб., в том числе 3 млрд руб. — на поддержку племенного животноводства и 0,5 млрд руб. — на поддержку элитного семеноводства, а также 180 млн руб. — на поддержку северного оленеводства и табунного коневодства.

Europe has not opened its borders to us straight away. For a number of years we drafted the necessary documents, underwent lengthy approval and control procedures, and only then the EU issued a certificate allowing the supplies of products of the northern reindeer herding to European countries. We have to take into account the fact that the only territory certified is the Yamal district where the main slaughter and meat processing enterprise – the Yamal Reindeer Company – is based.

Despite the fact that the exported products only take a rather narrow niche the competition we have to fight is very serious. There are Finnish producers working in the same segment, and, as strange as it may sound, companies in New Zealand.

Mazharov went on to highlight the quality of their reindeer products, the health benefits of reindeer meat, the plans to increase the sale of soft antlers for the Chinese market,  and the partnerships with the Finnish company Kometos Oy.

In a near future the first train of the Finnish deer slaughter line will be commissioned in the Yamal village Antipayuta (Tazovskiy district). Similar enterprises should appear in the village of Seyakha (Yamal district) and the trading post Yuribey (Tazovskiy district). In the future the trading post Payuta should acquire its own slaughter and freezer complex.

This would represent a significant increase in slaughterhouse capacity as currently there is only one slaughterhouse in the region capable of slaughtering reindeer meat to EU standards and packaging, based in Yar-Sale. You can read the full interview here, or read below

Yamal is a region of tough climate and rich mineral wealth. 90% of Russian gas, more than 14% of Russian oil and 54% gas condensate are produced here. It would seem impossible for Yamal to change its image of the country’s “gas store”; however, this is what the government of the autonomous Okrug is trying to achieve. Aleksandr Mazharov, the Director of the Department for International and Interregional Relations of YaNAO, spoke of what the new Yamal brand will be in an interview to RusBusinessNews.

- Mr Mazharov, according to Standard & Poor’s Yamal has positive international investment rating BB+ which corresponds to ruAA+ by the Russian scale. How attractive is the region to foreign business?

There is no doubt that Yamal is a region of great interest for foreign business. This applies, first of all, to the fuel and energy sector.

On 24 September 2009 the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin conducted a working meeting on the issue of the development of gas fields of the Yamal peninsula. CEOs of the largest oil and gas companies took part in the discussion; these included Wulf Bernotat, Chairman of the Board of E.ON, Shell’s CEO Peter Voser, Mitsui and Mitsubishi presidents Masami Iijima and Yorihiko Kojima, as well as Paolo Scaroni, the Head of Italy’s Eni. They were invited to take part in projects being prepared for the implementation in the Autonomous Okrug.

This event gave a strong momentum to the development of plans for the construction of processing capacities, transport infrastructure, energy system facilities on the territory of YaNAO, including those with significant share of foreign investment. The planned scope of measures is aimed at the establishment of a firm foundation for the development of the Autonomous Okrug as the Russian “outpost” on the Arctic territory securing the future access to the Arctic shelf.

- In the conditions of financial crisis the demand for natural resources Yamal is so rich with has started declining. How did this reflect on the region?

- Financial crisis only confirmed for Russia the importance of diversification of economic relations with foreign partners and the need to develop alternative sectors with the involvement of foreign capital. This concerns, first of all, such mono-industry regions as Yamal.

The decline in the demand for mineral resources and the fall of the prices for energy resources, of course, affected the foreign trade turnover. If we compare the results of January-September 2009 with indicators of the same period last year the trade turnover has decreased 2.5 times – down to 183 million US dollars. I think this is a temporary trend and after the recession the growth of economies of the world’s leading states will inevitably begin, this includes Russia, and this will lead to the new wave of demand for energy.

In order to decrease the dependency of the region on the affect of these macroeconomic factors the Administration of the region at the moment is focusing its efforts on the development of long term multi-vector external economic links not involving oil and gas production. Particular attention and support is given to projects aimed at the creation of new jobs, development of production and processing capacities directly within the Autonomous Okrug.

This list includes projects on export of meat and hides of reindeer and the development of the tourism sector. The number of tourists travelling Yamal is growing every year. Only in January-September this year the Okrug was visited by 5 thousand Russian tourists and 200 travellers from abroad. I am sure this industry has an enormous potential.

- What are the specifics of the promotion of reindeer herding products from YaNAO in Russian and international markets?

- Due to objective causes Yamal cannot boast a broad range of exports. Such factors as the geographic position, climate peculiarities, the specific nature of economy, and sparse population are unimportant for the majority of Russian regions; they often play the prevailing role in the conditions of the Extreme North, though.

According to the 2008 results 95.5% of exported products made in Yamal was the fossil fuel, oil and petroleum products and 4.5% was equipment and mechanical devices. At the same time Yamal is the first Russian region exporting products of the northern reindeer herding – meat and hides of the northern reindeer – to the countries of the European Union.

Europe has not opened its borders to us straight away. For a number of years we drafted the necessary documents, underwent lengthy approval and control procedures, and only then the EU issued a certificate allowing the supplies of products of the northern reindeer herding to European countries. We have to take into account the fact that the only territory certified is the Yamal district where the main slaughter and meat processing enterprise – the Yamal Reindeer Company – is based.

Despite the fact that the exported products only take a rather narrow niche the competition we have to fight is very serious. There are Finnish producers working in the same segment, and, as strange as it may sound, companies in New Zealand.

- How do you manage surviving such formidable competition?

- The Yamal Reindeer Company counts on the high quality of the product they supply, in particular its eco qualities. It is worth pointing out that the reindeer meat is a dietary product containing a minimum amount of cholesterol. Moreover the herds have not been affected by diseases which in recent years shook the global beef and poultry markets.

The remote pastures, harsh climate, pure natural feed, lack of contact with domestic animals, and a strict veterinary control guarantee safety, eco properties, and remarkable gourmet properties of the meat. Compared to the “red” European or New Zealand meat the northern reindeer meat is valued for its more tender texture, succulence, and being purely natural. The reindeer grazes in natural conditions which rules out artificial feeding entirely.

In 2008-2009, over 180 tons of the Yamal venison was shipped to Europe. In October within the framework of the international exhibition ANUGA – 2009 agreements were reached with Brodersen & Kover GmbH (Germany) on the supply of 100 tons of venison fillets; the issue of cooperation is being negotiated with Polarika (Sweden); further discussions with Finnish colleagues are ongoing.

I have to point out that the difficult geographic position of YaNAO introduces certain corrections to the logistics process making it much more complex. Moreover, there are bureaucratic difficulties when undergoing procedures of customs and veterinary control.

As well as venison we are preparing exports of reindeer hides. Kero Leather AB (Sweden) is prepared to continue the collaboration with the Yamal deer herders. In 2010 suppliers of leather to Italian shoe and furniture makers are planning to buy several thousand reindeer hides in the polar region. Partners from Germany and Greece, as well as the Swedes, are interested in this kind of product.

- The herd numbers of domesticated reindeer in Yamal exceeds 600 thousand, this is the largest herd in the World. The production of meat and hide, probably, does not describe the limit of the potential of the reindeer herding sector, does it?

- In the future Yamal may develop the production of the most active natural substance – pantohematogen. This is a bioactive food additive which is the most effective tonic, nootropic, and biostimulating substance used for mental and physical exhaustion, asthenic conditions, neuroses, weak heart, vascular disorders, and diabetes mellitus. As valuable in terms of medicinal properties are the preparations “Dry blood for antler baths” and “Lyophilic dried blood”.

According to marketing studies the demand for pantohematogen, dry blood for antler baths and lyophilic dried blood exceeds the offer several times. In particular this applies to countries with highly developed medicine like China and South Korea. I have to point out that the price of these products in the Russian market is 3 to 5 times lower than abroad, for instance in the Chinese market.

- With which other countries, in addition to Sweden and Germany, does YaNAO actively develop cooperation? Which countries may be regarded as permanent partners, which markets have to be mastered in the future?

- The long standing and reliable partners of Yamal are the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Manitoba. NORDEP, the institutional development project in the North, is being implemented jointly with Canada for many years.

The mutually beneficial links have also been established with Finnish partners. Specialists from Kometos Oy (Finland) install and commission meat processing plants. In a near future the first train of the Finnish deer slaughter line will be commissioned in the Yamal village Antipayuta (Tazovskiy district). Similar enterprises should appear in the village of Seyakha (Yamal district) and the trading post Yuribey (Tazovskiy district). In the future the trading post Payuta should acquire its own slaughter and freezer complex.

Links with German, Italian, and American companies are important in the field of fuel and energy cooperation.

There are traditionally strong links between Yamal and Bulgaria. 1250 Yamal schoolchildren and students annually spend holidays in the recreation camp for children “Yamal” located in Kiten. We also have friendly relations with Luxembourg. Kids from Yamal visited the country within the young people’s exchange programme. I cannot omit mentioning the links in the sphere of culture and youth policies with colleagues in Austria, Serbia, Hungary and other countries.

On the whole the Okrug’s foreign economic cooperation geography is very broad. In recent times a particular attention is afforded to the development of links with China. In January-June 2009 Yamal’s trade turnover with China amounted to 33.3% of the foreign turnover total. Opening the Okrug’s representation there is planned for the next year. I would like to point out that 2010 will be extremely important to the people of Yamal as YaNAO will be celebrating its 80th anniversary.
