Lukas Allemann Illustration 18: Heavy metal-contaminated environs of Moncegorsk in winter (photo: Lukas Allemann, 2003). b) The military "A less well known abuse of the Sami's land was committed by the Soviets for years during the cold war. The Soviets used the waters near the port city of Murmansk as a dump for radioactive waste from 1964 to 1986. The inexplicable act of using the Arctic Ocean as a nuclear dump threatens the northern Sami greatly because of their dependence on fish for a large part of their diet and in­ come. [...] The waters in which the dumping occurred were only tens of meters deep or less, with a high fish population located in the area. "197 The problems of the already existing, localized nuclear contamination and the threat of large-scale nuclear disaster affect of course not only the Sami, but the entire popu­ lation of the Kola Peninsula. The Sami in particular have seen their living space heavi­ ly reduced by the military, a situation that has not changed to this day. 197Summer [no date], [no pagination].
