The Sami are a small indigenous people of the Kola Peninsula. A cross-border people mainly living in three other countries: Norway, Sweden and Finland. In the 20th century, with the advent of Soviet power and the development of the Kola Peninsula, the Sami (they ask not to change their self-name) began to be resettled, having determined one place for them - the village of Lovozero.
For centuries, the Sami lived by migrating with reindeer from the summer to the winter graveyard (a settlement is called a graveyard). Varzino - in the bay of the river of the same name on the coast of the Barents Sea - was a summer churchyard for several clans. In 1937, with the advent of Soviet power, they were first evicted from the winter churchyard of Semiostrovye, in the depths of the peninsula, and ordered to live in Varzino, where the strongest winds rage in winter and where before that they lived only during the summer season. And in 1968 they were evicted from Varzino. Without giving any particular explanation, they say that this is necessary for the needs of the homeland (military).
