An excerpt characterizing the Koryak Autonomous Okrug

This family rapprochement here, at the ball, seemed insulting to Natasha, as if there was no other place for family conversations except at the ball. She did not listen or look at Vera, who was saying something to her about her green dress.
Finally, the sovereign stopped beside his last lady (he was dancing with three), the music stopped; the preoccupied adjutant ran up to the Rostovs, asking them to move somewhere else, although they were standing against the wall, and the distinct, cautious and fascinatingly measured sounds of a waltz rang out from the choir. The emperor looked at the hall with a smile. A minute passed and no one started yet. The adjutant manager approached Countess Bezukhova and invited her. She raised her hand, smiling, and laid it, without looking at him, on the adjutant's shoulder. The adjutant steward, a master of his craft, confidently, leisurely and measuredly, tightly embracing his lady, set off with her first glidepath, along the edge of the circle, at the corner of the hall picked her up left hand, turned it, and because of the ever-accelerating sounds of music, only the measured clicks of the spurs of the adjutant's quick and dexterous legs were heard, and every three measures at the turn, his lady's velvet dress fluttered, as it were. Natasha looked at them and was ready to cry that it was not she who was dancing this first round of the waltz.
Prince Andrei, in his colonel's white (for cavalry) uniform, in stockings and boots, lively and cheerful, stood in the forefront of the circle, not far from the Rostovs. Baron Firgof spoke to him about tomorrow, the proposed first meeting of the State Council. Prince Andrei, as a person close to Speransky and participating in the work of the legislative commission, could give correct information about the meeting of tomorrow, about which there were various rumors. But he did not listen to what Firgof told him, and looked first at the sovereign, then at the gentlemen who were about to dance, who did not dare to enter the circle.
Prince Andrei watched these cavaliers and ladies, who were shy under the sovereign, trembling with the desire to be invited.
Pierre went up to Prince Andrei and grabbed his hand.
- You always dance. Here is my protegee [favorite], young Rostova, invite her, - he said.
- Where? Bolkonsky asked. “Excuse me,” he said, turning to the baron, “we will finish this conversation in another place, but at the ball we have to dance.” - He stepped forward, in the direction that Pierre indicated to him. Natasha's desperate, fading face caught Prince Andrei's eyes. He recognized her, guessed her feelings, realized that she was a beginner, remembered her conversation at the window, and with a cheerful expression approached Countess Rostova.
“Let me introduce you to my daughter,” said the countess, blushing.
“I have the pleasure of being acquainted, if the countess remembers me,” said Prince Andrei with a courteous and low bow, completely contradicting Peronskaya’s remarks about his rudeness, going up to Natasha, and raising his hand to hug her waist even before he finished the invitation to dance. He suggested a waltz tour. That fading expression on Natasha's face, ready for despair and delight, suddenly lit up with a happy, grateful, childlike smile.
“I have been waiting for you for a long time,” as if this frightened and happy girl said, with her smile that appeared because of ready tears, raising her hand on the shoulder of Prince Andrei. They were the second couple to enter the circle. Prince Andrei was one of the best dancers of his time. Natasha danced superbly. Her feet in ballroom satin shoes quickly, easily and independently of her did their job, and her face shone with the delight of happiness. Her bare neck and arms were thin and ugly. Compared to Helen's shoulders, her shoulders were thin, her chest indefinite, her arms thin; but Helen already seemed to have varnish from all the thousands of glances that glided over her body, and Natasha seemed like a girl who was naked for the first time, and who would be very ashamed of it if she had not been assured that it was so necessary.
Prince Andrei loved to dance, and wanting to quickly get rid of the political and intelligent conversations with which everyone turned to him, and wanting to quickly break this annoying circle of embarrassment formed by the presence of the sovereign, he went to dance and chose Natasha, because Pierre pointed her out to him. and because she was the first of the pretty women that caught his eye; but as soon as he embraced this thin, mobile body, and she stirred so close to him and smiled so close to him, the wine of her charms hit him in the head: he felt revived and rejuvenated when, catching his breath and leaving her, he stopped and began to look on the dancers.

After Prince Andrei, Boris approached Natasha, inviting her to dance, and that adjutant dancer who started the ball, and still young people, and Natasha, passing her excess gentlemen to Sonya, happy and flushed, did not stop dancing the whole evening. She did not notice and did not see anything that occupied everyone at this ball. She not only did not notice how the sovereign spoke for a long time with the French envoy, how he spoke especially graciously with such and such a lady, how the prince did such and such and said the way Helen had big success and received special attention such and such; she did not even see the sovereign and noticed that he left only because after his departure the ball became more lively. One of the merry cotillions, before supper, Prince Andrei again danced with Natasha. He reminded her of their first meeting in Otradnenskaya Alley and how she could not fall asleep on a moonlit night, and how he could not help hearing her. Natasha blushed at this reminder and tried to justify herself, as if there was something shameful in the feeling in which Prince Andrei involuntarily overheard her.
Prince Andrei, like all people who grew up in the world, loved to meet in the world that which did not have a common secular imprint. And such was Natasha, with her surprise, joy and timidity, and even mistakes in French. He spoke with her especially tenderly and carefully. Sitting beside her, talking to her about the simplest and most insignificant subjects, Prince Andrei admired the joyful gleam in her eyes and smile, which related not to spoken speeches, but to her inner happiness. While Natasha was chosen and she got up with a smile and danced around the hall, Prince Andrei admired in particular her timid grace. In the middle of the cotillion, Natasha, having finished the figure, still breathing heavily, approached her place. The new gentleman again invited her. She was tired and out of breath, and apparently thought of refusing, but immediately again cheerfully raised her hand on the cavalier's shoulder and smiled at Prince Andrei.
“I would be glad to rest and sit with you, I am tired; but you see how they choose me, and I'm glad about it, and I'm happy, and I love everyone, and you and I understand all this, ”and that smile said a lot more. When the gentleman left her, Natasha ran across the hall to take two ladies for the pieces.
“If she comes first to her cousin, and then to another lady, then she will be my wife,” Prince Andrei said quite unexpectedly to himself, looking at her. She went first to her cousin.
“What nonsense sometimes comes to mind! thought Prince Andrei; but it’s only true that this girl is so sweet, so special, that she won’t dance here for a month and get married ... This is a rarity here, ”he thought, when Natasha, straightening the rose that had fallen back from her corsage, sat down beside him.
At the end of the cotillion, the old count in his blue tailcoat approached the dancers. He invited Prince Andrei to his place and asked his daughter if she was having fun? Natasha did not answer and only smiled with such a smile that said reproachfully: "How could you ask about this?"
- So much fun, like never before in my life! - she said, and Prince Andrei noticed how quickly her thin hands rose to hug her father and immediately fell. Natasha was as happy as ever in her life. She was at that highest stage of happiness when a person becomes completely trusting and does not believe in the possibility of evil, misfortune and grief.

Pierre at this ball for the first time felt insulted by the position that his wife occupied in higher spheres. He was sullen and distracted. There was a wide crease across his forehead, and he, standing at the window, looked through his glasses, seeing no one.

To date, according to the State Committee of the Russian Federation on Statistics (2002) in countryside Kamchatka region and the Koryak Autonomous Okrug, 5506 Koryaks, 1592 Evens and 1115 Itelmens live.

Koryaks. According to their economic features and way of life, the Koryaks are divided into two large local groups of relatively homogeneous nomadic reindeer herders - the Chavchuvens and the settled Koryaks-Nymylans. Nomadic Koryaks settled in the inner regions of Kamchatka and the adjacent mainland, settled (coastal) - on the eastern and western coasts of Kamchatka, in the Penzhina Bay and the Taigonos Peninsula.
The settled economy combined hunting, fishing, hunting and gathering. The hunting season, which was individual in spring and collective in autumn, began in late May - early June and lasted until October. During the hunt, leather canoes made of bearded seal skins and single-seat canoes-kayaks were used. Later, by the end of the 19th century, as a result of a decrease in the number of whales and walruses, more important role fishing began to play. Used constipation, nets, fishing rods and hooks on a long belt, reminiscent of a harpoon.

Nomadic Koryaks (Chavchuvens) were characterized by large-herd reindeer herding with a herd of 400 to 2000 heads. During the year, reindeer herders made four main uprootings: in the spring before calving, on moss pastures, in summer to places where there were fewer midges, in autumn - closer to the camps. Where there was a massive slaughter of deer, and in winter - short migrations near the camps.

The winter and summer dwellings of the nomadic Koryaks were a portable yaranga (yayana) - a cylindrical-conical dwelling, the basis of which was three poles from three and a half to five meters high, set in the form of a tripod and tied at the top with a belt. On the skeleton of the yaranga, a tire was pulled, sewn from sheared or worn deer skins with fur outward.
The predominant type of dwelling among the settled Koryaks was a semi-dugout (lymgyyan) up to 15 meters long, up to 12 meters wide and up to 7 meters high.

Itelmens. The name itself is itenmen, which means “Living. The one who is, who exists." In the XVIII - early XIX centuries. Itelmens were divided into a number of large local subdivisions with their own self-name and cultural features: Kamchatka, Avacha, Bolsheretskaya, Western, Khayryuzovsky. In the first half of the 19th century, while maintaining the territory, the number of Itelmen settlements decreased. From the second half of the 19th century, they settled mainly on the western coast of Kamchatka. In Russian documents from the 19th century they are known as Kamchadals. Anthropologically, the Itelmens, like the Koryaks, are included in the mainland group of populations of the Arctic small race of northern Mongoloids.
The main occupations were - draft dog breeding, highly developed gathering, the predominance of fishing over other species. economic activity. The Itelmen settlement consisted of one or two semi-dugouts, which in Itelmen were called kists, i.e. house. For summer housing, the so-called booth or mem was built. The summer dwelling was placed on piles, three rows up to 3 m high; on this basis, a flooring was made, and on it a gable hipped roof was erected, which was covered with grass. These buildings were full complex housing. The heroes of fairy tales, settling down, built themselves kist and mem. Not knowing metal, the Itelmens were able to make boats from a whole poplar trunk using stone adzes - bats, outwardly resembling an Indian pirogue. Because of their small numbers, the Itelmens do not have their own autonomy. They live mainly in the Koryak Autonomous Okrug. At present, the majority of Itelmens live in the villages of Kovran, Tigil, Palana and Khairyuzovo.

Evens. (self-name), obsolete. Russian - Lamuts ("seaside residents"). In the past, there were two large ethnographic groups of Evens: reindeer herders and sedentary "foot Tungus" (the latter were already completely assimilated in the 20s. They live in local groups in Yakutia, Magadan and Kamchatka regions, Chukotka and Koryaksky autonomous regions and Khabarovsk Territory). :beach
