The Sami of the Kola Peninsula c) Tourism Since the end of the Soviet Union, the Sami have faced an additional threat in the form of sports fishermen. Many of the best fishing grounds (rivers for salmon fishing) are leased by business companies from the state. The mostly western tourists are flown in by helicopter for lots of money and live in camps. It is the inhabitants of the rural areas who lose out, among them the Sami. Especially in the post-Soviet period, many people are again increasingly fishing and hunting for food, but are finding themselves barred from the best fishing grounds. 198 In light of today's problems - not a few of them added or enhanced following the collapse of the Soviet Union - it is therefore understandable that for many people the time of the growing collective farms and stable wages look attractive in retro­ spect. Vladimirova (2006) goes so far as to note among her interview partners a "clear trend of glamourization and mythologization of the Soviet successes" .199 This is true in one way or another of all my interviewees, even if they can be very sharp critics of the Soviet system in other respects. 198Cf.: Robinson/Kassam 1998, 108. 199Vladimirova 2006, 222.
