The inhabitants of distant Chukotka were brutally exploited before the revolution. A representative of the Kamchatka Revolutionary Committee, Loss, and ethnographer Zhukov arrived here with the first Soviet ship. They were on their way to the Loren camp. The news of the arrival of the Russian people quickly spread along the coast. Overcoming the resistance of the American buyer Thomson and the local rich man Alitet, Los and Zhukov established fair trade laws, and rallied the poor hunters around them. American colonizers Thomson and his son Frank fled Chukotka. The rich man Alitet, who had been abandoned by them, also left the camp. In the spring, a detachment of Soviet men arrived on the Chukchi coast to help the Chukchi build a new life on free land.
