A man walks in the port with an abandoned barge in the background in the city of Anadyr in Chukotka, July 20, 2009. Chukotka, nearer Alaska than Moscow, is a region revived by the billions of ex-governor Roman Abramovich. Salaries rose fivefold during his term, easing the shock to reindeer herders starved of subsidies after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now, the challenge for Chukotka is sustaining this growth by exploiting abundant reserves of fish, coal and precious metals. Picture taken July 20, 2009.
