The Sami of the Kola Peninsula мясопланы такие сумасшедшие, по 100- этот- по 100 тонн было, по 90 тонн, по 80 тонн были. Мясоплан чтобы бригаде надо выполнить. Одной бригаде. И выполняли, пасли. Потому что в руках стадо, как называется, в руках пасли, все время не пускали. [...] И пасли оленей, пасли от медведя, от росомах. А сейчас вон чего, вольный выпас. Он телится, ребеночка тут же, может, и ворона даже отбирает от них, когда теленочек только поднимается. [...] Лиса тут же сразу отбирает, росомаха, а медведей полно завелось сейчас в тундре. А тогда, когда дежурили во время отела- не вижу- ((стук)) не давали этим медведям-то кушать телят. // Q: Is it worse nowadays than it was during the Soviet times? A: It's worse, much worse. We, older people, believe things are a lot worse. Be­ cause back in our days, we had a lot of work that kept us very busy. Today, young people have no work at all. Back then, we lived in a big village, and every­ one could find work. We worked hard.[.] We had reindeer herds to take care of, for instance. One herd consisted of four to five thousand animals. In three herds there were as many as fifteen thousand animals. Today, however, there are only five thousand of them in three herds. There is no money to pay the herdsmen. No money. In the past, we had to fulfil the so-called meat plans, I mean provide 80, 90 or 100 tons of meat for the state. That was a meat plan for one team alone, and they did fulfil it. Nowadays, just imagine! They leave the herds and let them graze on their own. If a reindeer cow gives birth, even a crow can come and carry away the calf as soon as it gets to its feet, not to mention wolverines or bears. It can be carried away by a fox or a wolverine. Or a bear. There are lots of bears out in the tundra nowadays. Back then, however, I don't see- ((a knock on the door)) During the Soviet times, herdsmen worked in shifts to guard the calves from bears .190 190Jur'eva interview, lines 250-252, 761-779.
