In the lower reaches of the Indigirka River on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, almost 400 years ago, people founded Russkoe Ustie. They came from the Russian North – Veliky Novgorod and Pskov, they learned local crafts: to fish, hunt animals and birds. They strictly kept their customs, language, spoke the medieval speech until the middle of the 20th century. The permafrost became their promised land.
