History

The village was founded in 1930 as a result of the collectivisation of a number of nomadic herders who settled in the village establishing two collective farms: "First of May" (Russian: Первое мая) and "New Life" (Russian: Новая жизнь). Once the farms were established the village grew rapidly and a boarding school and kindergarten were constructed. These farms were reorganised into a single entity in 1960 under the name "Anyuysky". Anyuysk was the administrative centre of Bilibino District (then called Eastern Tundra District (Russian: Восточно-Тундровского района)) from March 15, 1950, when it took over responsibilities from Ostrovnoye until August 2, 1961, when responsibilities passed to the current administrative centre, Bilibino.[10] In the 1980s a dairy farm was established in order to provide milk to the school and the villagers.

Economy

The main occupation of the inhabitants is reindeer herding and fishing, hunting and trapping. Currently, Anyuysk is the base for the municipal agricultural enterprise "Lakeside". The village has a school, local hospital, post office, communications center, a cultural center, a library, a hotel with ten beds.

Culture

The village holds an annual bear festival.[11] There is a children's group called Souvenir (Russian: Сувенир),[12] a sports, dance and singing club called Masteritsa (Russian: Мастерица)[12] and a folk dance ensemble called Nyoltyn (Russian: Нёлтын).[12]

Demographics

The population as of the beginning of January 2012 was 472,[2] mainly Evens,[13] a slight reduction on the 2010 official census figure of 480, split equally between men and women.[3][4] As of January 2012, the ethnic make up of the village was as following:
