economy

Polar climate and permafrost hinder agriculture . For centuries, reindeer herding , fishing, and fur hunting were the main industries. With the discovery of oil deposits , oil production was added. To the north of the district, the Priraslomnaja oil field is being developed offshore in the Barents Sea, with reserves of around 73 million tons.

politics

On May 23, 2006, the then incumbent governor of the Autonomous Okrug, Alexei Barinov, was arrested in Arkhangelsk on suspicion of fraud and infidelity and later sentenced to three years' imprisonment, which was suspended.

Governor since February 24, 2009 was Igor Fyodorov . On February 22, 2014, he was replaced by Igor Koschin .

Administrative division

Since the "municipal administrative reform" in Russia, which was implemented in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug in 2005, the Autonomous Okrug has been divided into the capital Naryan-Mar and the Sapoljarny rajon (literally Transpolar Rajon ), which covers the entire territory of the district except that of the capital with all other localities.

The Sapoljarny rajon includes the urban-type settlement Iskatelei (previously under the administration of Naryan-Mar, but independent since the administrative reform), the independent rural (previously urban) settlement Amderma and 17 village soviets , which together comprise 42 localities.
