The Sami of the Kola Peninsula 5. Living conditions of the Sami of Russia after the October Revolution This chapter is devoted to an analysis of individual sequences from the various inter­ views, each time on the same subject. My informants' statements are compared at the same time with the information available from the literature. For reasons of space three of the five interviews have been selected for this step. The choice fell here on the interviews with Nina Afanas'eva, Anna Jur'eva and Anastasija Mat^hina, because their life stories involve very different places of resi­ dence and educational and career paths. Apollinarija Golyh and Marija Popova both lived like Ms Jur'eva in Lovozero. Of the three interlocutors from Lovozero, Ms Jur'eva was chosen as being the only one of all informants not affected by the resettlements. Nevertheless, any selection remains a regrettable act of arbitrariness, but one that was unfortunately unavoidable. The main distinguishing features of the biographies selected for deeper analysis are listed in table form: Nina Afanas'eva Anna Jur'eva Anastasija Matrehina from the Barents Sea from inland from the Barents Sea Higher education Primary school Primary school Urban life in Leningrad, Mur­ mansk and Apatity Life in Lovozero, the "place of compact aggregation of the Sami" Russianized village life in Gremiha Forced resettlements experi­ enced indirectly through her closest relatives Did not experience any forced resettlement Direct experience of forced resettlement Highly critical of the Soviet era Somewhat pro-Soviet atti­ tude Somewhat neutral stance towards the Soviet era 5.1 Containment of nomadism and collectivization Collectivization progressed relatively slowly on the Kola Peninsula, beginning in the late 1920s and largely completed a decade later. Fighting between the Whites and the Reds had continued in the Murmansk region until 1921, and the Sami had, until the beginning of collectivization, felt relatively little of the new Soviet state power. Precursors of the collective farms were cooperatives (artel'), which could be joined on Senterfor samiske studier, Skriftserie nr. 19 67
