11 Chapter three describes the relocations in chronology. This chapter provides information about the involuntary migration routes and relocations of the Kola Sámis from the years 1930’s -1970’s. The provided data is composed of systematized written and oral data collected during the fieldwork along with my own analytical implications. It contains tables and statistical data which I compiled in the course of the study. It additionally deals with descriptions of the policy of forced relocations in the frame of the general Soviet ideologies and policies implemented to all indigenous peoples of Russia, thus framing the situation of the Kola Sámi people within the general scene of the national policy during discussed period. Chapter four sets out a broader outline for examination of the described relocations. The description is mostly based on the oral data from interviews with community members and archival materials. It aims at depicting the relocations’ measures and bringing out personal experiences of community members relocated from their villages. Chapter five addresses to the topic of relocations consequences. This chapter focuses on analysis of the in-depths interviews and some statistical data. It aims at discussing conditions after the relocations measures and its impacts on the Kola Sámi community. Chapter six concludes the main arguments and findings of the study with special emphasis on the changes affecting the Kola Sámis after implementation of discussed relocation policies. It also provides the possible perspectives and proposals for the future research on the topic.
