KS allowed the indigenous peoples unlimited hunting

The Constitutional Court of Russia demanded that the authorities provide representatives of the indigenous peoples with the opportunity to hunt unlimitedly, Kommersant reports .

The Constitutional Court made such a decision to consider the lawsuit of a resident of the Murmansk region Andrei Danilov, Sama by nationality. According to the court, game production is not only a matter of survival for indigenous peoples, but also a way of national self -identification, so even those representatives of the indigenous peoples who live in cities have the right to hunt.

A 50-year-old Electric locksmith from Olenegorsk Andrei Danilov appealed to the Constitutional Court in 2020, after he lost in previous instances. The courts considered that he did not need benefits guaranteed by representatives of indigenous peoples north, since he has work and stable earnings.

Danilov works in the production of iron ore concentrate, heads the Sami Heritage Fund and wants to conduct a traditional hunt for partridges and waterfowl for the Sami, learn to hunt moose and bear. To obtain an appropriate mark in a hunting ticket, which allows representatives of the indigenous peoples to freely hunt in the places of their traditional residence, he turned to the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Murmansk region. They refused him there, believing that hunting is not a matter of survival for him.

The indigenous peoples are called those who lived on their lands before the establishment of state borders. Sami is a small Finno-Ugric people. According to the lawyer Danilov Vladimir Zvil, the indigenous peoples of the North in Russia live "about 250-300 thousand people." The problem of hunting resolution concerns all the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East. For peoples, prey limits will operate.
