Alexander is a former reindeer herder and fisherman, he was born and spent his whole life in a small village in Yamal. He is over 40. A few years ago, his deer died in winter it rained over the tundra, the animals could not get through the ice crust to the reindeer moss and died of starvation. Then the fish suddenly disappeared in the river, there was nothing to trade and pay off loans.

In August, Alexander signed a contract for military service and is going to go to war in Ukraine, he says that "there was no choice." He is not afraid of death, as he told The Line, and believes that war is a hunt, and killing is not a sin.
“People are drinking and sitting in prisons”
About eight years ago we had a herd of deer - four hundred heads, my family and I wandered, lived in a plague. Then in the winter it began to rain - it had never happened before. The deer died because of the ice. Someone didn’t have any left, we have 50 heads, I gave them to my brother, there ’s nothing to share. With so many it is impossible to survive. Previously, we rented deer to the state farm for meat, plus we caught fish - we got good money.
When the deer died, I moved to the village - I had housing, I got it after the army, I served in Chechnya ( Alexander participated in the Second Chechen War - "Devil" ). My wife and I settled into the dining room. The salaries are small, but I also set up nets and sold fish. Quotasfor the indigenous population they are small - they had to fish mainly illegally, but what to do? A few years ago, they turned a blind eye to this. Sometimes, of course, they gave a fine so that people would not become too impudent.
I got myself four years ago. They stopped on a tip: the locals betray each other, to whom a criminal case [for poaching] shines, they say to him: “We will help you, tell me who fishes with you?”. I had 8 bags of fish with me - they issued a fine of 18 thousand and took one bag away. And now it has become very hard. People are subject to huge fines ., do not know how to pay - someone has a million, someone has two. Fish inspectors have raids almost every day: they intimidate the people so that they no longer want to fish.
Recently I have been selling fish in Salekhard, Nadym through acquaintances. I took a snowmobile on credit to go fishing, but it did not justify itself. There are no fish at all this year. Both in the lake and on the Ob. We fish all day - we catch two or three things. Already unbearable. Maybe they poisoned it, or we caught it all ourselves. That year there was fish, and this year people are in a panic, they don’t know what to do. I heard that there are families where it has already reached the point of starvation. So the state allocates some kind of assistance: three thousand or five. But it won't be long enough. My ten-year-old daughter went fishing with me in the spring, when the ice thawed, she saw that there were no fish, she said: “Dad, how are we going to live?”
Reindeer herders are also in trouble. Pantsfell in price. Last year, people sold for 2,000 rubles per kilogram, this year - for 500 rubles. Nowhere to rent, no one buys, because of this, and the prices are. People do not know how to continue to live.
The Nenets population is not hired, I don't know why. Visitors work in our boarding schools. Our people graduate from institutes, but they are denied everywhere, they begin to hang around, get drunk. Basically, people drink too much or sit in prisons.
There is not enough for life at all, they have accumulated so many debts - they can’t get out . Credit on credit and credit on top. I have a million with something accumulated gradually. Salaries are very small, and the prices are such that it is impossible to survive on 30 thousand. I have a salary of 23 thousand, and utilities for a two-room apartment - 9 thousand a month. I try to save money, but nothing works, only pensioners can survive on benefits.
Until February, our food prices were normal, but because of the war they jumped: bread cost 41 rubles, and now he personally bought 100 rubles. A can of condensed milk cost 100-120 rubles, now 250.
"Either starvation, or like this"
In the end, I had to take such a risky step and sign a contract - there is no other way out. Or starvation, or like that. Now it just became unbearable, people go to war. Many people do this, I'm not the only one.
Under the contract, they promise 270 thousand per month. At first I wanted to go to Wagner, but then I found out that at the age of 40 they take more through the military registration and enlistment office - and I used to think it was already too late. This decision was very difficult, but there was no choice. Debts will grow and grow, working for 20-30 thousand is simply unrealistic to get out of this situation. And so at least some hope to escape. But if you're not lucky, of course, you can die.
I did not make a decision alone - with my family. The wife agreed - she knows that the choice is small. My daughter is engaged in boxing, shooting, throwing knives - I have trained her since childhood. She said: "Dad, you need to go, suddenly there will be no more war." Although at some point she doubted, she understands that we need money .
On
the 24th of February we did not understand anything at first. I get
information about the war through Youtube - I watch both of them. And I
myself, basically, for justice. At first I was on the side of Ukraine,
and then I realized how many years they bombed and killed people.
War has always given people a chance to survive. My grandfather was an NKVD officer, he went through the war. He said: "If it weren't for Hitler, we would start eating each other." Maybe somewhere a place will be vacated because of the war, it will become easier to live. Tajiks, Uzbeks, Ukrainians come to us and take jobs. If there are few Ukrainians left, maybe they will not come, they will live there, everything will fall into place.
I know that some go to war to vent hatred on Ukrainians: “Why do we live so badly? I think it was your fault!". They believe that the more whites are killed, the more likely our indigenous population is to survive. It happens that the children of very rich people who have several thousand heads of deer go to war. They consider themselves superior to humans. They go not for money, but to feel power. They say: "I'm rich and a hero, I'm not afraid of anything." Recently, my cousin was left without a leg in the war. He went not for money, but in order to be cool in Yamal. I see how Russians go to war, mostly very religious people. I had guys I knew, they said: “Here, the Ukrainians are a disgrace to our Christ, they want to hold gay parades, they desecrate our Jesus, they need to be punished.” I don't think so myself, but they believe. I think God will judge us. And it happens
We will not be taken prisoner. In Chechnya, they did not take Nenets, Yakuts - northern people, because people like me take a lot of lives behind them. I pray not to remain a cripple - then I will be a burden for my family, my kind. Better to die.
Basically, in Yamal, everyone wants the Russians to win this war. Support Putin. Whatever he is, he still has to win. I go myself to earn money. If it weren't for the loans, I wouldn't sign the contract.
We had cases when fish inspectors beat and intimidated indigenous people, but this was not done by Russians, but by Uzbeks, Dagestanis, and Ukrainians. Because of this, hatred towards them. I know Ukrainians in the village: some are bad, others are good. I know one entrepreneur, I have a good relationship with him, I buy something from him. And when I worked as a cook, I had a Ukrainian boss - such a Bandera look, offends everyone, has a bestial attitude towards everyone, considers herself the navel of the earth. Maybe that's why they started the war.
"Killing people is not a sin"
For us, the Nenets, religion allows us to kill. Because of this, many northern people are taken to war. We are pagans, we live hunting, we slaughter deer, we often see blood, it happens, and we drink it. The Nenets do not have such a family where someone would not be killed while drunk or in a street fight - basically, everyone dies from knives. We take the murder of a person lightly.
We have rules in religion: never touch the weak, give bread if asked, do not leave a person on the road without help. Leaving a person on the road is a sin, and there is no sin in murder, as in hunting. When I was in the Caucasus, I knew that God was protecting me. Faith is tested through this: you need to know that God will not leave you. The main thing is not to kill the unarmed, not to be afraid - and you will find a way.
We worship idols, we have bloody sacrifices, of course, not people - deer. But [now we do them] at most once a year, but every month is necessary. Old people say that we do not observe rituals, because of this, our life has become bad: we have become poor, deer began to die out, there are no fish, children are born sick. We have become Russified, because of this we live very poorly. We don’t even have shamans now - one remained in Yamal.
We take it for granted that sooner or later we will all die. We are not afraid of death. If you died, then your soul must go to the afterlife. Our main god - Num, in Russian - the god of the blue sky, the most important before all the gods, only he can control a person, knows when to take life, when to give life. We all walk under God. You don't have to be afraid of anything.
When I thought about the contract, I went to the shaman on Yamal with gifts, money, as we should. And before leaving, I talked to him on the phone, asked: “You didn’t have sleep, maybe I don’t have to go? Will I make it back alive? Will I become crippled?" He said: "You will be fine, God will protect you." Shamans do such things with the other world that are very difficult to explain to a person, which is why we believe them.
So I'm not afraid. I take my death lightly. Not only me - almost everyone who goes there gave life to God. Our life is in his hands.
