REINDEER HERDING FARMS IN TUGURO-CHUMIKANSKY AND AYANO-MAYSKY DISTRICTS OF THE KHABAROVSK TERRITORY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY

The article considers the stages of development of reindeer breeding farms in Tuguro-Chumikansky and Ayano-Maysky districts of the Khabarovsk Territory. During several decades of the twentieth century there were serious changes in reindeer breeding: large organized enterprises grew from small private farms, and then at the end of the century they turned to small private farms again. During this time, the direction of the development of farms has been transformed from transport to productive. The presented experiences of the development of reindeer husbandry and farming practices can be taken into account when developing support programs for modern reindeer husbandry.
