background
The sparsely populated area extends between the Kanin Peninsula in the west and the Urals in the east. Much of the land area is north of the Arctic Circle, the taiga and tundra landscape types are characterized by a polar climate and permafrost soils. The Nenets native to this region lived from hunting, reindeer herding and fishing. The development of oil deposits and the discovery of other mineral resources have changed the living conditions and thus the structure of the population. Less than 20% of the Nenets now live here, and the vast majority of the people are of Russian descent.
