Matter of project:
Today, almost half of all Murmansk oblast Sami live at Lovozero, where they make 22% of population and count 745 people.

The formed community of Lovozero Sami is not homogeneous. Its forming had taken place in recent times on the basis of local group of Lovozero Sami churchyard, who live there since XIII-XIV centuries and migrant Sami groups of XX century, who have historical roots in other Sami churchyards of Kola Peninsula. This process wasn't natural and owing to this fact it had to result in deep changes both in real life of people and in their consciousness and life guiding lines. Cultural and linguistic diversity inside modern Lovozero Sami community supposes the diversity in return reactions to the present transformations in the state and society. Modern historical transformations intensified existent and uncovered inner national differences in culture and ways of adaptation of individual social and ethnic Sami groups.

Investigation of reasons, character and mainly of inner migrations' social consequences of Kola Sami in the first part of XX century takes as a result a special scientific and social significance. This project is dedicated to solving of traditional tasks: first of all the consideration of the processes of forced migrations in the thirties-sixties of XX century with relation to their influence upon the system of traditional nature management and culture; secondly, reconstruction of cultural originality of three Kola Sami groups; thirdly, investigation of the steadiness phenomenon of cultural identity of every group and its reasons, and questions of adaptation of migrated groups to new conditions at Lovozero.

Matter of project
The object of investigation is the population of industrial and scientific centers of Kola Peninsula (Apatity, Kirovsk, and Monchegorsk) of different sex and generation, social, ethnic, and professional belonging. This population is represented for the most part by migrants of first-third generation. The subject of investigation are the present day ethno-cultural processes taking into account their historical retrospective review: migrations, cultural adaptation, interethnic and inter-confessional relations. Authors proceed from the fact that corresponding social practices are based on historical and cultural experience and cognitive stereotypes, which are strengthened by tradition and individualized at local, micro-group and personal levels. According to working hypothesis, regional social experience including inertial stabilizing mechanisms, correlates with ethno-local self-consciousness; its main parameters are to be identified and can be investigated within the frames of phenomenological paradigm. The project supposes the elaboration and approbation of new research programs, and the use of complex system of empirical material's fixation and analysis. Besides theoretical, the results would have the applied importance for estimation of ethno-cultural and demographic potential of the region, for determination of strategy of Kola North towns' development, elaboration of regional programs of cultural, migration, social, and educational politics.

Matter of project.
The bibliography of publications on reformation of social protection in Scandinavia was made; the experience of organizing the help to invalids in Finnmark and Alta commune (Norway) was studied. By the results, the analytical review was made on history of transforming the system of social support of disabled people in Norway, Sweden and Finland. By the methods of interviewing of specialists, employed at the institutions of social protection, and teachers of social work at University College of Finnmark, the main difficulties were determined of realizing a new paradigm in social sphere. Information was collected and systematized about legislative base of Norway, which regulates the system of social protection. Analysis of social protection system's efficiency and help to disabled people at the municipal level was carried out by means of comparing the existent systems of twin-cities - Alta (Norway) and Apatity (Russia). They made a scheme of functioning and collateral subordination of these cities' institutions for social rehabilitation of disabled people and revealed the most problem zones in organization of such institutions' work. Also, they elaborated the recommendations on forming favourable environment for socialization of disabled people and their integration to public life in the conditions of Russian North.
