Novoye Chaplino (Template:Langx, Siberian Yupik: Ungaziq) is a village (selo) in Providensky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, in the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia. Population: Template:Ru-census2010 [1] Municipally, Novoye Chaplino is subordinated to Providensky Municipal District.[2] In 2010, a law was passed abolishing the municipal rural settlement of Novoye Chaplino. The village continues to exist, but is now municipally part of Providenia Urban Settlement.[2]

History

Origins

The village was founded in 1960,[3] although some sources state that it was founded in 1958[4] as a result of the merging of several nearby coastal villages into one. Villages such as Unazik (lit "Bewhiskered" in Yupik and formerly an important local whaling centre[3]), Kivak (lit. "Green Glade" in Yupik and the site of an ancient settlement several thousand years old[3]) and Plover,[4] as well as settlements from much further up the coast such as the now abandoned village of Naukan.[4]

Post-Soviet history

Novoye Chaplino is a good example of how following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the outflow of Russian migrants allowed indigenous people to take up senior administrative posts in the local administration.[5] In a similar situation to other Chukotkan villages such as Markovo,[6] During Soviet times, about 25% of the population of the village were non-indigenous in-comers.[5] Despite being in the minority, they formed the majority of senior employees in areas such as the state farm, village administration and technical services.[5] In-comers also dominated senior positions at the school including the principal, boarding-school supervisore, administrative director, bookkeeper and 11 out of the 18 licensed teachers.[5]

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, indigenous people managed to gain more influence in their key local services. By 1995, in-comer departure was almost complete.[5] Whereas over 110 people out of a population of 460 were non-indigenous in 1986,[5] barely 30 remained nine years later, and those were mostly married to indigenous villagers.[5] Although the economic situation meant that a number of local industries had closed or had truncated staff numbers,[5] in the state farm, three-quarters of the top officials were indigenous people[5] and over two-thirds (of the admittedly smaller) school were either Chukchi or Yupik.[5]

Recent history

On September 10, 2010, a law was passed abolishing Novoye Chaplino and Sireniki at municipal level.[2] Novoye Chaplino as an entity continues to exist, but it is no longer a rural settlement on its own, but simply an inhabited locality within Provideniya urban settlement. The right of the village to local administration was removed[2] and such responsibilities were taken over by Provideniya municipal administration on January 1, 2011.[2] Provideniya municipal administration also took control of all municipal property, all municipal property rights and all local budgets on this date.[2]

Demographics

The population according to the most recent census data, prior to the abolition of the rural settlement was 419,[7] of whom 206 were male and 213 female.[1] This represents a significant increase on a 2008 estimate of about 330,[4] but is flat against a 2003 estimate of 422,[8] more than 90% of which were Chukchi or Siberian Yupik.[8]

Culture and economy

The village is populated mainly by Yupik, and whaling is the main source of employment in the area.[4]

The Chaplino hot-springs are an important local attraction.[3] There are other springs near the former village of Kivak, but these are less popular due to their isolation.[3]
