1 Tundra Research Station of Murmansk Arctic State University (TRS-MASU)

2 Kola Peninsula, Murmansk Region
The Station was created in 2000 for carrying out field-based research of post-Soviet dynamics in Kola reindeer husbandry

3 Funding Funding came from numerous research projects, in their majority hosted by the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Tromsø. Among them, most decisive have been the following: 1. RENMAN: The Challenges of Modernity for Reindeer Management: Integration and Sustainable Development in Europe’s Subarctic and Boreal Regions ( ). 5th Framework Programme of the European Union; 2. Social-Science Migrating Field Station: Monitoring the Human-Rangifer Link by Following Herd Migration; Kola Peninsula ( ). International Polar Year Individual Project No 408; 3. Kola Saami Herders in Post-Soviet Society: Ethnopolitics in Urban and Tundra Spaces (2009 –2012) Research Council of Norway (NFR) Project No ; 4. INPOINT: Socioeconomic significance of developmental projects in Northwest Russia: The insiders point of view’ ( ), Research Council of Norway (NFR) Project No

4 The mobile station ensured the possibility of following herd migration during its annual cycle

5 Tundra Research Station MASU
In June 2016 the Station was made available to students and staff of MASU-Murmansk for conducting interdisciplinary research activities in both the human and natural sciences

6 The Station is close to the site of an ancient Sami Settlement (Melent’evskiy Pogost)

7 There are numerous traces of former habitation but there has been no archaeological research to date in this part of the Kola Peninsula
