The Sami of the Kola Peninsula tion to Voron'e and was courting her. But she was uncomfortable at the idea of leav­ ing her homeland, and therefore decided to marry a Sami. Vasilij Nikolaevic worked as the head of the local club. In 1964, the flooding by the new dam meant that the young family had leave its home village of Voron'e, along with all the other inhabitants (see brief biography of Ms Popova). Just like Ms Popova, Apollinarija Ivanovna has nothing good to say about this resettlement. The Golyh family had only five years before built their new house, and was looking forward to a stable future after the suffering of the war years. But then came the news of the impending construction of the hydroelectric plant. Clearly the planners were afraid of protests, and so about a year before the resettle­ ment officials came to Voron'e and rashly promised that in Lovozero all families would be allocated new homes free of charge. Because of the over-hasty planning, not enough new housing units had been built in Lovezero at the time of commis­ sioning of the hydropower plant. In this way Apollinarija Ivanovna's family spent four years with no fixed place of residence and had to billet themselves for short periods with friends and relatives ("sk/fal/s"') .105A pollinarija Ivanovna describes this roundly as 'fraud' .106 At times, four families had to live together, with Apollinarija Ivanovna's family crowded seven to one room. The few dwellings that had been built in time were, however, claimed by the 'better-placed' .107 Housing shortage, as experienced previously by millions of people in mainland Russia, in this way became an unpleas­ ant side-effect of the planned urbanization of the tundra, Also it was only in Lozovero, after the relocation, that Apollinarija Ivanovna was confronted for the first time with the problem of widespread alcoholism. Many peo­ ple around her succumbed to alcohol, something that had not happened in Voron'e. There the Sami lived virtually among themselves, and hardly any vodka was drunk. Only on festive occasions was a brewed alcoholic beverage (braga) consumed. After relocating to Lovozero, the Golyhs worked together in reindeer herding and until Vasily Nikolaevic's death in 1988 travelled together each season into the 105Golych interview, line 638. 106Golych interview, line 633. 107Golych interview, line 641.
