The Sami of the Kola Peninsula as their mother tongue, this number had fallen to 44% in 1989, and is even lower today. 23 At 44 years the life expectancy of Russian Sami is today significantly higher than in 1926 (25.8 years), but is still far below the overall average for Russia. While the low life expectancy in 1926 was explained primarily by the general poverty and large families with high child mortality rates, today it is the men in particular that drag the statistics down. An especially large number of them die from alcoholism, accidents and suicide .24 23Cf.: Federov 2000, 29. 24Cf.: Federov 2000, 28. Senterfor samiske studier, Skriftserie nr. 19 9
