The Sami of the Kola Peninsula many Sami, Komi and Nenets, or to Gremiha (Ostrovnoj today), where mostly Russian military live. Unlike her father, she preferred the Russian environment in Gremiha: О: [...] Мы тут [в Гремиху] переехали, не наш-то край стал. Русские живут. Отец пожалел: "Надо было потерпеть и уехать в Ловозеро." Я говорю: "В Ловозеро я бы в жизни не поехала! Там все разные нации." В общем, я все боялась, в Каневке такие были, «ижме» [коми-ижемцы] были. Лопарей они все так не любили. В Каневке и в Ловозере, там больше «ижме» были. Нация такая. По нашему: «ижме». По-русски не знаю как. // A: [...] When we moved here [to Gremiha], it was no longer our land. Here the Russians lived. Father regretted it: "We should have gone to Lovozero." I replied, "Never in my life would I move to Lovozero! There's all sorts of people there." I was simply afraid, [also] in Kanevka there were such 'izme' [Komi from the Izma Basin] They did not like the Lapps. In Kanevka and Lovozero there were more 'izme'. There is such a people. In Sami [theyu are called] ''izme', I don't know the word in Russian .89 Overall, however, differences between the Komi and the Sami were hardly men­ tioned in the interviews, although I brought up the topic every time. This can be ex­ plained mainly by the fact that, given the massive colonization of the Kola Peninsula by Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians, the numerically far inferior Uralic peoples, Sami, Komi and Nenets, now found themselves in the same boat and their conflicts with each other faded somewhat into the background. The Komi, in contrast to the Sami and Nenets, were already since the seven­ teenth and eighteenth centuries no longer nomads and operated a very extensive form of reindeer herding, which included capitalist methods such as production of primary and secondary goods and their export to Moscow and Norway .90 This had been possible also in the broad plains to the west of the Urals.
