The village of Lovozero. Sami rap, dying culture and pies with salmon

Zapolar circle. Murmansk region. Here is the village of Lovozero with a population of no more than 3,000 people. There are no own production, there are no factories, there is no developed infrastructure, it seems that life here has stopped. But it is in the lounge that the indigenous people of Russia Saama lives, here they teach the plague workers (wives of reindeer herders), here is the best venison in Russia and salmon pies.

Our correspondents of Sim Sverdlov and Nadezhda Yurov came here to talk with local musicians who study the already dead Sami language and write rap on it. About the value of the language for the nation and what makes the Russian authorities reckon with the Sami, see our report from Lovoser.
