Chuvanskoye (Russian: Чуванское) is a rural locality (a selo) in Anadyrsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Russia.^[1] Municipally, the village is incorporated as Chuvanskoye Rural Settlement.^[2] It is located west of Markovo on the banks of the Yeropol River, a tributary of the Anadyr River. Population, as of 2006: 290,^[3] up from 217 reported for 2005 in an environmental impact report for the Kupol gold project.^[7] Of the people living in the village in 2005, all of them were of indigenous origin.^[8]

History

There are two theories regarding the origin of the name. The first states that Chuvanskoye is simply named after the Chuvans themselves, whereas the second theory suggests that the name is derived from an older tribe, the Cha'achen, who used to live in the area and were a Yukaghir tribe from which the Chukchi themselves eventually developed.^[3]

Chuvanskoye was founded in 1930 as a collective farm, which in the 1960s was merged with the collective farm in Markovo.^[3]

Demographics

Chuvanskoye and the lands surrounding it are the main area of settlement in the autonomous okrug for the Chuvans ethnic group,^[9] a branch of the Yukaghir people, who lived near the Anadyr River.
