Novoye Chaplino

The village was founded in 1960,[9] although some sources state that it was founded in 1958[10] as a result of the merging of several nearby coastal villages into one. Villages such as Unazik (lit "Bewhiskered" in Yupik and formerly an important local whaling centre[9]), Kivak (lit. "Green Glade" in Yupik and the site of an ancient settlement several thousand years old[9]) and Plover,[10] as well as settlements from much further up the coast such as the now abandoned village of Naukan.[10]

Novoye Chaplino is a good example of how following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the outflow of Russian migrants allowed indigenous people to take up senior administrative posts in the local administration.[11] In a similar situation to other Chukotkan villages such as Markovo,[12] During Soviet times, about 25% of the population of the village were non-indigenous in-comers.[11] Despite being in the minority, they formed the majority of senior employees in areas such as the state farm, village administration and technical services.[11] In-comers also dominated senior positions at the school including the principal, boarding-school supervisore, administrative director, bookkeeper and 11 out of the 18 licensed teachers.[11]

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, indigenous people managed to gain more influence in their key local services. By 1995, in-comer departure was almost complete.[11] Whereas over 110 people out of a population of 460 were non-indigenous in 1986,[11] barely 30 remained nine years later, and those were mostly married to indigenous villagers.[11] Although the economic situation meant that a number of local industries had closed or had truncated staff numbers,[11] in the state farm, three-quarters of the top officials were indigenous people[11] and over two-thirds (of the admittedly smaller) school were either Chukchi or Yupik.[11]

On September 10, 2010, a law was passed abolishing Novoye Chaplino and Sireniki at municipal level.[5] Novoye Chaplino as an entity continues to exist, but it is no longer a rural settlement on its own, but simply an inhabited locality within Provideniya urban settlement. The right of the village to local administration was removed[5] and such responsibilities were taken over by Provideniya municipal administration on January 1, 2011.[5] Provideniya municipal administration also took control of all municipal property, all municipal property rights and all local budgets on this date.[5]
