To date, 268 young families have benefited, said the region’s governor, Dmitry Artyukhov. He stressed that thanks to this measure, hundreds of families with a nomadic lifestyle have received support and can continue their traditional way of life.
The capital of the shelter is 500,000 roubles, or €5,000, which will allow the purchase of everything needed for a nomadic lifestyle: skins and other covers for the shelter, tables, bark and stoves. The grant will be given to local indigenous families of Nenets, Khanty and others with three or more children.
