Khatyrka (Russian: Хатырка) is a rural locality (a selo) in Anadyrsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia,[2] located on the shore of the Bering Sea southwest of Beringovsky. Population: 377 (2010 Census);[5] [6] Municipally, it is incorporated as Khatyrka Rural Settlement.[3]

History

Khatyrka is one of the oldest settlements in Anadyrsky district, having been founded around 1756.[4] The name of the village and the nearby river was taken from the cape first mapped by the naval officer Sarychyevym, but first visited by the merchants Bakov and Novikov.[4]

The Chuckchi call the place Vatyrkan, meaning dry or exhausted as the area surrounding the village is used for reindeer grazing.[11] There are currently two brigades operating as the Khatyrskoye municipal agricultural unitary enterprise, tending for around 2000 reindeer on the tundra.[11] Within the village, the cultural centre supports the national ensemble "Chukotka Dawns" (Russian: Чукотские зори).[4]

Demographics

The population according to the 2010 census was 377,[5] of which 191 were male and 186 female,[6] which is essentially in line with an April 2003 estimate, which recorded the population at 375, of which around 87% are of indigenous origin.[12]

Economy

The main occupations revolve around traditional indigenous economic activities of fishing and hunting, both on land and sea. There is also a successful reindeer herding enterprise on the pastures surrounding Khatyrka with around four hundred heads.[12] Although this is a traditional enterprise among many Arctic peoples, these formerly nomadic enterprises were grouped together in the Soviet Union to form a collective farm (kolkhoz).

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, almost all government support was removed from the state farms as the market economy took over. However, unlike in villages such as Alkatvaam and Tavayvaam, when the state farm became the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Rural Agricultural Producers, the herders were able to continue their livelihood.[12]

There is an irony that the traditional economic driver of reindeer herding is succeeding here for the time being when it has either disappeared or been significantly reduced elsewhere given that the name of the village used by the Chukchi is Vatyrkan which translates as "a dry, exhausted land",[12] despite the pastures surrounding the village.

As with many Chukotkan villages, Khatyrka has modern facilities: a hospital, a post office, a secondary school, and a daycare center, as well as a traditional Chukchi ensemble and a cultural center.[12]

Transport

Khatyrka is not connected to any other inhabited place by any permanent road being situated on the coast at the mouth of the River Khatyrka.[13] There is however, a number of roads within the village, including:[14]

  • Улицa Набережная (Ulitsa Naberezhnaya, lit. Quay Street)
  • Улицa Озерная (Ulitsa Ozernaya, lit. Lake Street)
  • Улицa Речная (Ulitsa Rechnaya, lit. River Street)
  • Улицa Рылькеу (Ulitsa Rylkey, lit. River Street)
  • Улицa Советская (Ulitsa Sovetskaya, lit. Soviet Street)
  • Улицa Центральная (Ulitsa Tsentralnaya, lit. Central Street)
  • Улицa Школьная (Ulitsa Shkolnaya, lit. School Street)

Administrative vs. municipal jurisdiction

Until July 2008, Khatyrka was a part of both Beringovsky Municipal and Beringnovsky Administrative District. In May 2008, Beringovsky Municipal District was merged into Anadyrsky Municipal District;[15] however, this change did not affect the borders of Beringovsky Administrative District. Khatyrka continued to administratively be a part of the latter until June 2011, when Beringovsky Administrative District was merged into Anadyrsky Administrative District and ceased to exist.

Climate

Khatyrka has a Tundra climate (ET)[16] because the warmest month has an average temperature between 0 °C (32 °F) and 10 °C (50 °F).
