1:18 am
a full time member of the team. and the only woman among the male minors, the, i think i am just curious. so somebody told me that's well, daughter is a good place and maybe i should try to go there and i did. and the there, right? so from sitting 3 weeks i was suppose to stay for 3 weeks, and i stayed for 6 weeks and went home and packed all my stuff and moved here today, new is making the mine safer by reinforcing its vault. safety is top priority here . the, the working language in the mine is norwegian, and most of the miners here are from norway. however, a few individuals some other scanned and even countries get by with the region to but up on the surface and long year again, it's more international. mostly i see for region, most of my friends are no region,
1:19 am
but i do know people that are not so we use a lot of english as well. and also it's almost impossible to order your food in the region. so i have to speak english and the i think it's okay. cool. and miners have long been symbols of long year been. however, in recent times, coal mining has decreased significantly. signaling a change in life on small bod, towards tourism. yeah, but i mean that boring impala, i haven't been to the place where the code is direct key, mind what, but i've been wrong. talk to the mind costs or progress. virginia valeria arrives found about 4 years ago. initially she worked as a tour guide in the russian mining settlements of buttons board and put a meeting on the archipelago. in 2021,
1:20 am
she relocated to the region town near jen. malaria has continued working in the tourism sector and a striving to integrate into the community. yes, i'm trying to learn region because it makes sense to learn it. living on small bombing, which i watch movies in a wage, in general, that's how i discovered scandinavia is really interesting films, which interests me. i can not in the larry is russian, but has your opinion citizenship and comes from capstone and southeastern ukraine. her mother chose to stay valerio staying with a friend and struggles to find a suitable permanent accommodation in on you, again with the local authorities showing little concern. and so i'm wondering if i can't believe that there isn't some corner in the whole town where i can at least have a place to live with my dogs, especially if i can pay my rent. i mean, i pay taxes here. so i spoke to the college student, it's sort of like the local mass office. so i basically told them, i'm
1:21 am
a russian with the ukranian passport. i can't go back to any of the mainland countries that a somehow more or less native to me when i mean, i'm at the mazda system to listen to me and harshly said, this is the brutal reality home. that was the few must go back to the mainland if you have no place to live here. let us for the visits. industrial know, regional companies can offer housing for their employees, while non norwegians must find their own as demand increases. life for foreigners and the town used to be easier. according to elizabeth born originally from seattle, she's been living in solid body for 7 years rent, an art gallery and advocates for foreigners riots. born has witnessed a significant increase of new arrivals among european and recent years now comprising more than a 3rd of the towns population of over 2000. i think that there is
1:22 am
a lot of anxiety about how this place is becoming less norwegian then it used to be, well it used to be a coal mining town that was run by a norwegian company and nobody else could live here. so of course it's changed, but i don't think that they to, i don't think the norwegian government when they decided to promote tourism as a replacement industry for coal mining, realize that one of the things that would come with tourism would be a large number of, of non the regents this followed by treaty signed in 1920 for instance, always happened to you over the archipelago of ensuring equal access to resources in fair treatment for all parties fostering a unique international community on the islands. today the majority of norwegians and spotted body work in the tourism sector. concerned about the increasing number of foreigners on the archipelago region authorities 2 years ago,
1:23 am
restricted their voting rights to vote or stand for election in the local council. one must have resided on the mainland for 3 years. the norwegian authorities argue that this requirement ensures a good understanding of solve our policy and framework. in response assignment protest emerged displayed in the elizabeth gallery. echoing the voices of those norwegians who are fearful or unable to speak due to the precarious positions taking the road away. is one of the ways to keep people from feeling like this is a good place to be. i think very much that norway would like to norwegian i is longer be in. is that the way that they're doing? it also alienates the norwegians here. so you cannot norwegian, i as a place when you have 40 percent of your population cannot speak the language and
1:24 am
they can't speak a language because there are no language classes and there haven't been for very long time. tanya, on the mayor of long nubian, was elected last fall under change the election rules which excluded many local foreigners from participating. despite small about as unique status, tanya emphasizes that remains a part of norway, albeit and unconventional one. just making more and more, i encourage people come along your brain to work and it's up to you when you arrive here to how so this i take care of yourself and that's not the only for foreigners that even for norwegian that we have less are rights here, compared to may not even us and who we just, that's quite important. also a part of the picture from the government side. they want this to be the region
1:25 am
from the family society. but the growth in number of people has been the mainly going into it for the, for foreigners. that doesn't mean that for in this, for and there is, are not welcome. but the government wants it to be a better balance. and then they have to, to make a policy that makes the split the balance. and sometimes i would, that can be considered as tighten up the great kind of the rules and norway are very liberal. and i don't think norway wants to have that kind of liberality here because they feel the need to keep more control here because this is such an open community. i don't, i don't blame norway for their concerns, but i do think they're going about are trying to achieve their goals and a way that actually is going to do the exact opposite. this followed by treaty has been responsible for the balance for a century and no, no regions to
1:26 am
a recent changes as a restriction of their rights despite the prohibition of discrimination. and this followed by treating the local newspaper spot about cost and closely monitors this issue that there was a lot of frustration and sorrow amongst the norwegian inhabitants of, of long in because a lot of people have lived here for a long time and been kind of part of the local democracy been in low cost data and maybe see a norway and long to be in us so to the community that they want to take part of unlike them origin. uh yeah, democracy so, so that was a lot of feelings and frustration. the restriction of rights means the 2 groups. norwegians and norwegians exist side by side, especially in a political terms. the may is a, the may a and any other local politician doesn't care at all if i have
