The influence of the industrial development of Kolyma on the traditional system of settlement and management is analyzed. It has been established that reindeer breeding has been preserved only among the Berezovsky Evens, the complete disappearance of employment in traditional sectors of the economy is observed among the yukaghirs living in the Seimchan settlement.
