Mrs Tundra

A film about the problems associated with the reindeer population in the tundra after human intervention in the life of wildlife. Part 1 A herd of wild deer runs across the tundra. The hunters from the helicopter kill the wolf - the main enemy of these beautiful animals. Evenk writer Aliet (Albert) Nikolaevich Nemtushkin says (sync. And behind the scenes) what reindeer mean for northern residents (food, clothing, transport, housing). The hunter-fisherman Y. Dorofienko talks (sync. And behind the scenes) about hunting in the tundra and about what wild deer face, overcoming water obstacles during their migration to the north. Young individuals cannot withstand the loads, they do not have enough strength to swim across the river. Part 2 Scientists from the plane are tracking the migration routes of reindeer to the east due to the deterioration of the ecological situation (construction of gas pipelines, railways, etc.) and, as a consequence, the reduction of pastures in Taimyr. On the recommendation of scientists, hunters shoot animals at certain points. Writer A.N. Nemtushkin says (sync. And behind the scenes) that often random people are recruited into execution teams and they don't care who to shoot, they kill both calves and females. Director of the state industrial farm "Taimyrsky" S. Lineytsev against the background of a mountain of reindeer skins tells (sync. And behind the scenes) that they cannot be realized, just like meat. It is possible to process and use 1/10 of the 100 thousand ruined heads. Game biologist and journalist F. Shtilmark in the [local history] museum says (sinhr.) That it is time to stop the practice of killing wild deer.
