The edition addresses indigenous peoples in Russia. Firstly, Arbahan Magomedov analyzes a new political phenomenon in modern Russia: the growing assertiveness of indigenous peoples in the context of the accelerated industrial development of the Arctic. At the center of the study is the political rise of the “Voice of the Tundra” protest community and its leader Eiko Serotetto. Secondly, Vera Kuklina discusses the impact of reindustrialization on remote regions and local communities in these regions. She cites the cumulative impact of the Baikal-Amur Mainline, Strength of Siberia gas pipeline, and multiple forestry companies on the Evenki community in the Kazachinsko-Lenskii raion of Irkutsk Oblast.
