The Sami of the Kola Peninsula landskijZapovednik), in reparation for past and future environmental crimes. The fact that this reserve is designed only for the protection of flora and fauna, but not en­ dangered ethnic groups, is shown by the fact that the Sami ultimately had to make way, not just for the Soviet military and Soviet industry, but also for Soviet nature protection. All these 'chance happenings' are not, however, surprising: the Sami had inhabited almost the entire Kola Peninsula for thousands of years, but because of their infinitesimally small number were unable to withstand the mass colonization of the twentieth century. Illustration 9: Intact reindeer moss in the Lapland Nature Reserve (Laplandskijzapovednik). Such areas are found more often on the Kola Peninsula than in the neighbouring regions of Finland, where rein­ deer herding is undertaken much more extensively, leaving fewer intact reindeer moss pastures (pho­ to: Lukas Allemann, 2003). Only the southern shore of the Kola Peninsula was not inhabited by Sami. Here lived the Pomors, who were left largely unaffected by the military and industry, because these areas were strategically unimportant and too peripheral for industry.
