Moskovsky Komsomolets has written about on a new study by the European University. Scientists analyzed seasonal snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle routes in the Khatango-Anabar region (northern Krasnoyarsk Krai) and Yakutia. For this purpose they proposed a new approach to mapping northern territories, combining remote sensing using satellite imagery and social anthropology methods.

The project's goal is to analyze and describe how rural governance is structured in two regions of Russia in the mid-2020s, taking into account the general political and local rural context. The aim is to understand how village residents obtain material and symbolic resources and what role the rural administration or other agents of authority play in this process.

At the meeting, the parties expressed mutual interest in cooperation and discussed prospects for academic initiatives, as well as possible formats for joint work.

The project director is Nikolai Vakhtin. The participants are all employees of CESIS, the main researchers are Kirill Istomin and Elena Lyarskaya.

The book Reindeer herders’ thinking: A comparative research of relations between economy, cognition and way of life (Verlag Der Kulturstiftung Sibirien, 2021) is a result of more than 10 years of fieldwork in the tundras of Komi Republic and Nenets Okrug.
