From ‘Traditional’ to Collectivized Reindeer Herding on the Kola Peninsula: Continuity or Disruption?Footnote1

1. An earlier version of this article was read as a report to the 2nd Regional Conference in Memory of Professor I. F.Ushakov, Murmansk, 2–4 March 2005, under the title “Istoriia kolektivizirovannogo olenevodstva na Kol'skom Severe: nekotorie nedorazumeniia i “belye piatna”. I want to express my gratitude to the academic leadership of the Murmansk State Pedagogical University who, as organizers of the Conference, gave me a chance to present my views before the Russian academic public.
