In this book, Patty Gray explores the reasons why the 'indigenous rights movement' of the Chukotko people of the Russian Far North has been unsuccessful. She argues that the movement is a continuation of Soviet tendencies rather than something comparable to Native Rights movements in the Russian Far North.
This ethnography of the Russian North focuses on post-Soviet relations of domination between an indigenous minority and a non-indigenous majority in an urban setting. Patty Gray charts the political transformation in Chukotka as its administration sought to represent itself as 'democratic' while becoming ever more repressive, especially toward the indigenous population. The 'predicament' refers to how the nascent indigenous movement was prepared to address Soviet-style domination, and instead was confronted with this 'new Russian' style.
