The peoples of the Arctic - a generic name for peoples, nationalities, tribes, historically constantly living north of the Arctic Circle [1] .
To date, there is evidence that the Arctic has been constantly inhabited by at least the middle of the third millennium BC - these people received the conditional name Paleoeskimos .
About four million people live in the Arctic, more than half of them in the polar possessions of Russia. The number of resident population in the Arctic zone of Russia at the beginning of 2013 was about 2,331,000 people (1.6% of the population of Russia). The average density is 0.63 people per square kilometer. Representatives of 127 nationalities live in the Russian Arctic, and more than 70% of them call themselves Russian [2] .
