Коллективизация вилюнейских чукчей: причины и ход противостояния

Abstract

The author analyzes the process of collectivization of the Vilyuney Chukchi local group. Chukchi reindeer herders put up armed resistance to Soviet reforms. The central event of the Vilyuney Chukchi collectivization, known as the Beryozovo village riot, has a great resonance. The author traces the historical, social, and ethnocultural background of the Vilyuneу Chukchi long-term opposition to the Soviet power. The conclusion is that during collectivization the Vilyuney Chukchi were following the ethnic interaction stereotypes developed in the previous historical period.
