a long distance into the permafrost underground. mia slow task works in coal. my numbers 7 installed on the last operational norwegian, mine and the archipelago, the lounging blasting aligning. and i really fell in love with both mine and the small bar and all the people. so originally from middle of norway, the meo started as a team in 2020 for the past 2 years. she's been 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 $12.00 a good place and maybe i should try to go there and i did. and the there, right? so from thing 3 weeks, i was suppose to stay for 3 weeks and i stayed for 6 week sent when told him and packed all my stuff and moved here. today, new is making the mine safer by reinforcing. installed safety is top priority here . the, the working language in the mine is norwegian, and most of the miners here are from norway. however, if you individual, some other scandinavian countries get by with the region to but up on the surface and on your engine, it's more international mostly i think most of my friends are norwegian, 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 ok cool, and miners have long been symbols of long un. however, in recent times, coal mining has decreased significantly. signaling a change in life on small body towards tourism. yeah, but i mean that boring and blah, i haven't been to the place where the code is direct key, mind what, but i'd be wrong. talk to the mind carts or progress. virginia valeria arrived in spelling about 4 years ago. initially, she worked as a tour guide in the russian mining settlements of finance boards and put a meeting on the archipelago. in 2021, she relocated to the region town of the near again. malaria has continued working

in the tourism sector and astronomy to integrate into the community. yes, i'm trying to learn region because it makes sense to learn it living on the spot of bombing for, for 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 think tax is here. so i spoke to the college student, it's sort of like the local mass office. so i basically told them, i'm a russian with the ukranian passport. i can't go back to any of the mainland

countries that is somehow more or less native to me. i mean, i'm at the mazda system to listen to me and harshly said, this is the brutal reality home. that was, this new must go back to the mainland if you have no place to live here. hold on. let us for the visits industrial, no region 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 rights. 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 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, 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 grants, nowhere sovereignty over the archipelago of ensuring equal access to resources and fair treatment for all parties. fostering a unique international community on the islands. today the majority of norwegians in spot of body work in the tourism sector. the concern about the increasing number of foreigners on the archipelago region authorities 2 years ago, 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 and response assignment protest emerged displayed in the elizabeth galleries. echoing the voice 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 but the way that they're doing it also alienates the norwegians here. so you cannot norwegian eyes a place when you have 40 percent of your population cannot speak the language and they can't speak the language because there are no language classes in there,

haven't been for very long time. tanya, on the mayor of long nubian, was elected last fall under changed election rules, which excluded many local foreigners from participating of the despite smell of body's unique status. tanya emphasizes that it remains a part of norway. i'll be at an unconventional one, just making more and more. i encourage people come along and bring to work and it's up to you when you arrive here to house of us. 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 a no region from the family society, but the growth in number of people has been mainly going into 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 and that can be considered as i'm typing 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 a 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 agents, your recent changes as

a restriction of their rights. despite the prohibition of discrimination in the small bar treaty, the local newspaper, spot cost and closely monitors. this issue that there was a lot of frustration and sorrow amongst the norwegian inhabitants of, of long indian, because a lot of people have lived here for a long time. and then kind of part of the local democracy, been in low cost data and maybe see a norway and it only be in us so to the community that they want to take part of unlike the new wage and 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 a place to live or not to what my problems are, then not interested in helping,

as i cannot give them my very elizabeth plans to continue raising awareness about the challenges faced by non norwegians installed by the spine towards month for the arctic she has chosen to leave and re unite with her family. no one stays here forever. this is not a place where you can look for them. i have a 4 year old granddaughter and as my son reminds me that if i intend to know her, then i need to be near her and sending photos of me on a snowmobile isn't going to make it so i will, i will leave next year. and i've, i know that the very hopes to be successful in finding accommodation installed body would move to the european mainland if necessary. news light select stability is a minus set to close next year. nobody is relinquishing its cool legacy in small

box. but i've been looking in through going to australia, greenland, because i really liked mining. so i would like to keep doing that. but i'm also open to be a mechanic again on the mainland life here. it doesn't suit everyone. once a sunshine, the months of darkness and the arctic cold, it's due, managed to draw in many internationals because of its unique environment and the visa free work opportunities. but the new law has undoubtedly made living together more difficult the. the other kid is by, by a continent bursting with creativity,
