Village History
The first population of the village consisted of Chukchi , Eskimos, and Russians (the families of G. A. Ushakov, I. M. Pavlov, N. P. Savenko, Skurikhin, Tayan, Tagyu, Kmo, Etui, Nnoko, Kivyan, Palyu, Anyalik, Analko; only about 60 people). In 1928, the first child, P. I. Pavlov, was born in the village [3] . In the first three years of G. A. Ushakov’s shift, a hydrometeorological station and radio station appeared on the island. People settled down in a new place and almost no one returned to the mainland after the first shift ( 1929 ). The village grew and developed [3] . By the end of the 1970s, it had a village council, a boarding school, a kindergarten and a boiler room, a cinema club, a nature reserve office (and later a Wrangel Island nature reserve) and a modest natural history museum, a shop (trade and purchasing enterprise) and an underground storage glacier meat products, temporary coral (for autumn corral and slaughter of deer), post office, hospital, Rogers Cove (Rogers) polar station, Rogers Airport (for AN-2, MI-2, MI-6, MI-8) and small gas station, warehouse of fuels and lubricants and bulk coal storage, library, diesel electric buttes and bath [4] , and the houses had electricity. During navigation, a temporary pier for barges worked [4] . From the beginning of the 1980s, they appeared and operated: a radiotelephone communication station, a frontier post, a canteen for employees of the reserve and air crews, television was working, and a lighthouse was restored on Ushakov’s spit [4] . One of the first television programs that the Ushakovites saw was the program “Vzglyad” by Vladislav Listyev [4] .
For a long time, the landscape of Ushakovsky was spoiled by the dump, which is usual for almost any northern village, but in the mid-1980s, at the initiative of northerners, it was significantly reduced by loading empty barrels from under the fuel and lubricants into the cargo ships and transporting them to the mainland [4] . In 1984, a monument to G. A. Ushakov was erected in the village. [five]
From the beginning of the 1990s, a lack of funding began to be felt, the last vessel brought provisions and fuel to the village in 1994 , later cargo and mail were delivered by helicopter. People began to leave Ushakovsky . In 1997, it was decided to resettle people on the mainland, in the village of Cape Schmidt . The last resident of the village, Vasilina Alpown, died tragically on October 13, 2003 near her home (she was attacked by a polar bear [6] ). In 2011, the last resident in the village was the local shaman Grigory Kaurgin [7] .
In 2010, for the first time since Soviet times, construction began in the village, several buildings for the weather station were erected, and new equipment was installed. The staff of polar explorers is 6 people [8] .
