Geography edit
Lorino is the largest indigenous village in the whole autonomous okrug and larger even than Lavrentiya, the administrative centre of the district, which is found to the north-west. The village is located on the shores of the Bering Sea, on the Mechigmen spit. it is 40.5 km to the district centre.[10] Near the village are the Lorinski (Kukunyskie) hot springs.[10]
History edit
The name "Lorino" comes from the Chukchi "льурэн" (lyuren), meaning "found camp".[9][11] The first mention of Lorino comes from the 18th century,[12] with the modern Chukchi village located on the site of the former Eskimo settlement of Nukak [6].[13] The main occupations of the inhabitants are sea mammal hunting, reindeer herding and fishing and the village is the base for the municipal agricultural enterprise "Keper" (Russian: Кэпэр).[13] A fox farm was established in the village in 1955 and a processing factory for seafood and meat canning was opened in 2009.[14]
Culture edit
The area around the village was used as the setting for the film The Chief of Chukotka.[15] The Lorino hot springs are located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) from the village.[15]
The village has a high school, a daycare center, a boarding school, a cultural center, a food store, a hospital, a post-office, and a breeding farm with more than 300 Arctic foxes.[15] The Lorino Dawns native ensemble under the guidance of N. Ginuntegin is based in the village.[15]
