History

There are two theories regarding the origin of the name. The first states that Chuvanskoye is simply named after the Chuvans themselves, whereas the second theory suggests that the name is derived from an older tribe, the Cha'achen, who used to live in the area and were a Yukaghir tribe from which the Chukchi themselves eventually developed.[2]

Chuvanskoye was founded in 1930 as a collective farm, which was reorganised in the 1940s as the Chuvanskoye Kolkhoz "Znamya Sovetov"[10] (although other sources suggest the village was not formally established until 1951[12]). In the 1960s the Kolkhoz was merged with the collective farm in Markovo[2] and Lamutskoye to form the "Markovsky State Farm".[10] As a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union, small villages like Chuvanskoye were extremely hard hit. In 2000, the monthly living wage across Chukotka was estimated at R.3,800 however, the average wage in Chuvanskoye was a meagre R.50–100.[13]

Demographics

Population 209 (2010 Census);[3] a significant reduction on a 2006 estimate of 290,[2] though this represented an increase from 217 reported in 2005 for an environmental impact report for the Kupol gold project.[14] Of the people living in the village in 2005, all of them were of indigenous origin.[15] Chuvanskoye and the lands surrounding it are the main area of settlement in the autonomous okrug for the Chuvans ethnic group,[16] a branch of the Yukaghir people, who lived near the Anadyr River. Almost all the men in the village spend most of their time in the Taiga with their reindeer herds.[10]

The village has a school, library and house of culture.[10]
