    Zone of Absolute Discomfort
    Elderly people walk by a half-abandoned housing block in Teriberka, once a vibrant fishing and farming community after WWII. Teriberka's population shrunk from about 14,000 at its height to just more than 1,000 today after the fishing industry collapsed, the town's administrative status was lowered and people moved south to seek work.
    Today, Teriberka is again in the spot-light with the construction of a base there for the landing of the a gas pipeline from the world's largest know natural gas field.

    Zone of Absolute Discomfort
    People walk by an empty boarding house in Vorkuta. The city’s population has fallen by a third since the break-up of the Soviet Union, when subsidies for the Far North were reduced.
    Vorkuta is a coal mining and former Gulag town 1,200 miles north east of Moscow, beyond the Arctic Circle, where temperatures in winter drop to -50C.
    Here, whole villages are being slowly deserted and reclaimed by snow, while the financial crisis is squeezing coal mining companies that already struggle to find workers.
    Moscow says its Far North is a strategic region, targeting huge investment to exploit its oil and gas resources. But there is a paradox: the Far North is actually dying. Every year thousands of people from towns and cities in the Russian Arctic are fleeing south. The system of subsidies that propped up Siberia and the Arctic in the Soviet times has crumbled. Now there’s no advantage to living in the Far North - salaries are no higher than in central Russia and prices for goods are higher.

    Reindeer herders Simyon and Vanya travel hours by sled from their tent in the tundra to buy supplies at the village shop in Sovetsky.
    Nomadic people like them have a mutually cautious relationship with the Russians who live in the Far North.

    Buildings around Vorkuta are being surrendered to the elements as people flee to the south. In this apartment block on the edge of the tundra in Yor Shor village outside Vorkuta town, only one family is left.

    Derrière des maisons endommagées par le feu, une fillette près de soldats de l’armée royale. Une foule anti-maoïste a incendié des centaines d’habitations dans le village de Halanagar, accusant les habitants d’avoir hébergé des rebelles.
