Many of them immediately recieved
rehabilitation in 1956 and most of them left
and those who were rehabilitated
would also received a right to leave.
And they went to any places they wanted to.
There people who would just leave immediately but there were also
who didn't want to leave, those who got used to
it or had already families,
or they had a job they liked, because
many of them would work as drivers
and worked on that road.
The salary there was quite high at that time.
Some would work in the mines,
some would become geologists,
at that time the resourse development was fully on.
There were many companies then, like Nezhdaninskoe Zoloto,
and others. That's why
people decided for themselves to stay
or leave, and
those who remained they remained willingly.
Those who didn't want to stay they
left...
There were people with no right to move out? Well, with no right to mover out...
there were not many of them and they lived in Djibariki Khaya and
Topolinoe, and
not in Khandyga. In Khadyga
all the people were free.
And when Khanduga was open
many new people came in
and even those who were released from the camps
they would try to get their relative to come to live in Khandyga.
I told you about...
for example... in Khandyga
there was a family, the Dubasovs,
and Tatiana Dubasova
she studied in our school and then
after graduatiing she worked as a teacher
of Chemistry and Biology in our school and
she once mentioned that they came there with their parents
on the invitation of
someone who
we call, was Kirov's personal driver
and he invited
all her family
to live there
and they came and her farther started working as a driver
and her mother was a tailoress.
So, they started living in Khandyga.
When they got retired
they left and now they
live in Ukrain.
In Kremenchuk or something like that.
I think they live there now. So,
many people left, those who wanted to leave,
and they left later.
It was in the 70s, 80s, especially during Perestroyka.
Many of the left then.
Their relatives that remained there
would also leave later.
Some still live there.
Population of Khandyga has changed since.
There are
more native population.
Before there were people from other regions
of Russia
and there were many people from Moscow,
during Dalstroy period.
Those road constructors were mainly from Moscow.
The managers and even Karpov
used to live in Moscow.
He wrote his letters from Moscow when Kandyga was growing.
He wrote that letter in 1966 from Moscow.
So, that's why if we speake about
employees, they were from the Centre.
If we take criminals
or those who were sent to the camps
well, they were of different background.
There were Russians and foreigners
and there were representatives from different
Soviet Republics and others.
So, population was quite divers.

Nowadays the village got smaller.
There were times when
a lot of people lived in Khandyga.
More than 1000 students studied in the schools of Khandyga.
Especially in the
60s, 70s, and 80s
Khandyga was overpopulated.
Then during Perestroyka
a lot of people left and the population
has changed. Now there are
mainly people come from smaller villagers to live in Khandyga
rather than from other regions of the country.
So, mainly people from smaller villagers
move to Khandyga.
Now there are more Yakut people
and Even people there.
Before there were people from other regions and countries.
There were Ukrainians, Belorussians, Russians, Jews.
As I told you there were other nationalities
like Germans, Polish,
Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians and others. So, the population
has changed. Many geologists left.
Particularly during the 90s when
the geological institutions started collapsing,
and there were no developing works any more.
Before all that was funded really well and
there were big geological works then.
That's why there were many geologists here and
there were many people
in Khandyga and they used to comprise
the part of population that was called
intelligentzia. They were well educated
and they also would aquaint their children with sciences and
studies. That's why
the children were after education.
There were many of those who finished school with honors like golden medal.
So what does it say? It says that
that a lot depends on parents and
their level of eductaion
including the level of a place where they live.
If we speak about Khandyga now then of course
there are not that many educated people there.
But at that time yes, there were many
and even people
with academic degrees,
especially geologists.
Khandyga used to be a centre of geology and a centre of
road constructors.
That's why there were road
geologists.
engineers and geologic engineers.
Among them there were people with academic degrees.
They were highly educated.
They had
degrees from Universities in Moscow,
Kiev and others.
And of course they had a great impact.
For exmaple when I was growing up and studying
at school, my classmates
were very talented
and they were after education.
They were quite ambitious.
