Novoye Chaplino (Russian: Новое Чаплино) is a village (selo) in Providensky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, in the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia. Population: 2008: about 330,^[3], 2003: 422^[7], more than 90% of which were Chukchi or Siberian Yupik.^[7] Municipally, Novoye Chaplino is subordinated to Providensky Municipal District.^[2] In 2010, a law was passed abolishing the municipal rural settlement of Novoye Chaplino. The village continues to exist, but is now municipally part of Providenia Urban Settlement.^[2]

History

Origins

The village was founded in 1960,^[8] although some sources state that it was founded in 1958^[3] as a result of the merging of several nearby coastal villages into one. Villages such as Unazik (lit "Bewhiskered" in Yupik and formerly an important local whaling centre^[8]), Chechen, Kivak (lit. "Green Glade" in Yupik and the site of an ancient settlement several thousand years old^[8]) and Plover,^[3] as well as settlements from much further up the coast such as the now abandoned village of Naukan.^[3]

Post-soviet history

Novoye Chaplino is a good example of how following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the outflow of Russian migrants allowed indigenous people to take up senior administrative posts in the local administration.^[9] In a similar situation to other Chukotkan villages such as Markovo,^[10] During Soviet times, about 25% of the population of the village were non-indigenous in-comers.^[9] Despite being in the minority, they formed the majority of senior employees in areas such as the state farm, village administration and technical services.^[9] In-comers also dominated senior positions at the school including the principal, boarding-school supervisore, administrative director, bookkeeper and 11 out of the 18 licensed teachers.^[9]

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, indigenous people managed to gain more influence in their key local services. By 1995, in-comer departure was almost complete.^[9] Whereas over 110 people out of a population of 460 were non-indigenous in 1986, ^[9] barely 30 remained nine years later, and those were mostly married to indigenous villagers.^[9] Although the econmic situation meant that a number of local industries had closed or had truncated staff numbers,^[9] in the state farm, three quarters of the top officials were indigenous people^[9] and over two thirds (of the admittedly smaller) school were either Chukchi or Yupik.^[9]

Recent history

On September 10, 2010, a law was passed abolishing Novoye Chaplino and Sireniki at municipal level.^[2] Novoye Chaplino as an entity continues to exist, but it is no longer a rural settlement on its own, but simply an inhabited locality within Provideniya urban settlement. The right of the village to local administration was removed^[2] and such responsibilities were taken over by Provideniya municipal administration on January 1, 2011.^[2] Provideniya municipal administration also took control of all municipal property, all municipal property rights and all local budgets on this date.^[2]

Culture and economy

Road to Novoye Chaplino

The village is populated mainly by Yupik, and whaling is the main source of employment in the area.^[3]

The Chaplino hot-springs are an important local attraction.^[8] There are other springs near the former village of Kivak, but these are less popular due to their isolation.^[8]
