Abstract
The paper presents the ethnic and social characteristics of Yakut territories within the area affected by the Power of Siberia cross-border gas pipeline. The construction of the pipeline will have a multidirectional social impact on the regions inhabited by indigenous peoples of the North. We reveal the results of an ethnological expert review on the pipeline construction and outline the main problems emerging from the influence that industrial projects exert over the ethnic and social development of territories.
