Chukchi: Where the world ends

The word "Chukchi" means "rich in reindeer". These people who live in the Russian Far East can't imagine their life without the usual Chukchi routine: hunting, cooking, engraving beautiful pictures on walrus tusks and praying with their shaman.

I knew someone, and he was Chukchi. When he served in the Russian Navy, his commanding officer kept calling him "Dersu Usala." That is about as insulting as calling someone Native American in this country "Pocahantus," or someone black "Aunt Jemima." It let me know how racist ethnic Russians can be towards indigenous people of Siberia.

@xanyxxxx which jail is this?

On the Alaskan USA side....it is more like living in Army Barracks! People few and far between. Kinda like Barrow, Alaska which is far North Alaska. YouTube it! At least in Anadyr, Chukotka you have beautiful photography on the buildings, dining, culture along with being in a large city with a smaller district feel. Tourism will increase eventually. Being an hour flight away from USA to Russia is a great selling point.

Anadyr, Chukotka Russia is across the Bering straight and Alaska however the Russian side in my opinion is far more advanced and cultured. In the Arctic you live in apartment style homes since heating as a unit is much more efficient. Anadyr has wonderful European shopping and dining along with culture and it's just across from Alaska only an hour flight on Bering Air.

@MrNiceGuyNot yeah Abramovich is a thief and a criminal, who stole Russian resources. He will rot in jail
