The eviction took place in 1954, however, with the strategic objective of a possible military confrontation with the United States; it formally ended on November 20, 1958. The year the decision of № 165 of the Executive Committee of the Chukotka District Council of People's Deputies occurred. The Naukan people were relocated, being partially settled with the Chukchi, or moved to places with other Siberian Yupik.
