Name and geography
The name of Lamutskoye is derived from the word Lamut—an archaic name for the Evens[12] (the dominant indigenous people in the area who migrated to western Chukotka from what is now the Sakha Republic of Russia[13]). It stands in the upper reaches of the Anadyr River, near the mouth of the Bolshoy Peledon River.[12]
History
Founded in 1936 (or, according to other sources, in 1940[4]) as a collective farm,[3] Lamutskoye served as a central hub for the Lamutsko-Yablonskaya nomadic reindeer breeders group, consisting of only eight itinerant families.[12] In 1960, along with Chuvanskoye and Markovo, the farm was merged to form the Markovsky State Farm.[3][12]
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, small localities like Lamutskoye were extremely hard hit. In 2000, the monthly living wage across Chukotka was estimated at 3,800 rubles; however, the average wage in Lamutskoye was a meager 50–100 rubles.[14]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Lamutskoye is subordinated to Anadyrsky District.[2] Within the framework of municipal divisions, Lamutskoye is a part of Lamutskoye Rural Settlement within Anadyrsky Municipal District.[8]
Culture and infrastructure
Lamutskoye is the starting point for the Ryilet festivities—the longest reindeer race in the world held each year over a 90-kilometer (56 mi) course between Lamutskoye and Chuvanskoye—in which racers compete for the Governor's Cup.[4][12]
Lamutskoye's infrastructure consists of a school, library, and the Palace of Culture, which conducts traditional feasts, races, and ceremonies connected with the reindeer herders.[4]
Demographics
As of 2010, the official census results showed a population of 173, of whom 98 were male and 75 female[5][6]—a significant reduction from the 2006 estimate of 230[3] and the 2005 estimate of 213 (according to a report prepared for the Kupol gold project,[15]). Of the 213 people living here in 2005, 212 were of indigenous origin.[15] The ethnic composition of Lamutskoye's population is as follows:
