2024: Launch of mass cargo delivery by drones
The authorities of Yakutia announced the expansion of the delivery of small-sized cargo by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the transition to their mass use. This was announced in mid-October 2024 by the head of the republic Aysen Nikolaev.
Earlier in the Gorny district of Yakutia, a pilot project began to be implemented along the route Berdigestakh - Keptin. During the experiment, by mid-October 2024, 46 demonstration flights were carried out and 150 kg of various cargoes were delivered, including medicines, spare parts, food and mail.
Nikolaev in mid-October 2024 stressed that Yakutia is moving from experimental flights to the practical use of drones. According to him, in Yakutia UAVs can find wide application in various industries: from agriculture and land management to control, supervisory activities and delivery of goods.
The head of the republic noted that the use of drones will help not only reduce costs, but also improve the quality of the services provided, especially in remote and hard-to-reach settlements.
The development of unmanned aircraft in Yakutia began in June 2023, when a cooperation agreement was signed between the government of the republic and the State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK). As part of this agreement, the drone operator "BAS" tested five drones in the real field conditions of Yakutia.
There is already experience in using drones to deliver goods in other regions of Russia. So, in August 2024, the first routes for the delivery of food and medicine by drones were launched in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO) within the framework of the national project "Unmanned Aircraft Systems."
The Governor of the NAO Yuri Bezdudny said that the first routes were opened in the direction of Telvisk and Makarovo. Delivery is carried out by drones of the Empaero company, which is part of T1 Holding[2]

History
1896
1861: The first skoptsy are relocated to Yakutia
Not only political ones were exiled to Yakutia. Those who did not adhere to the traditional religion were also sent to the "prison without bars": Old Believers, Dukhobors, Skoptsy. They settled firmly and settled in Olekminsk, as well as near Yakutsk - in Markh and Magan.
According to the research of Fyodor Glinka, the sect of skoptsy has existed since "time immemorial," and in Russia it especially spread during the time of Peter I.
Skoptsov was distinguished by hard work, strength of spirit and faith. By itself, this religious sect with grueling tendencies - boys and girls were scathed in childhood, depriving them of their offspring. By physical influence, the Skopians thus fought against carnal pleasures, strengthened their spirit and faith.
In the second half of the 19th century, there were about 6 thousand skoptsov, mainly in the Tambov, Kursk, Oryol provinces, in Siberia, where rich skopka communities bought land from the local population.
Skoptsov, religious fanatics who did not meet the official faith, were persecuted by the authorities. Mass persecution against the Skoptsy and other religious schismatics began during the time of Peter I.
For the first time, a proposal for a mass settlement of skoptsy in the Yakut region was made in 1852, but the first batch of skoptsy arrived in Yakutsk only 9 years later, in 1861.
Tillage became the only branch of economic activity in which Skoptsy could fearlessly invest their funds. Skoptsy also made a significant contribution to the development of crafts. Among those who arrived in 1861, there were many craftsmen.
And in exile, the Skopians continued to adhere to the basic requirements of their creed. The link noted cases of repeated stacking.
The relationship between Skoptsy and the local population was ambiguous. Firstly, this was influenced by the propaganda of priests and local authorities. Secondly, the attitude towards the Skopians was also influenced by the fact that they were endowed with better land cut off from the locals. But on the other hand, many saw an undoubted benefit in the development of bakery and gardening, crafts and training them. In the city, a servant from skoptsy was considered the best: non-drinkers, honest, disciplined.
The right to live in the cities of the Yakut region was used by Skoptsy men who owned professions rare at that time for the region: a typographic worker, a blacksmith, a master of soap making, a watchmaker. Residents of Yakutsk used the services of a photographer from Eresko. Now his photographs are stored in the funds of the Museum of Local Lore named after Yaroslavsky.
Due to physical influence, men did not grow a beard, in the photographs of those years the faces of skoptsy are smooth, unlike bearded peasants and mustachioed landowners.
Close business ties of the skoptsy were established with merchants I. Gromova, A. Kushnarev, I. Nikiforov. They purchased bread from the Skoptsy and traded it for a year.Middle-ranking city officials often traveled to Marja to borrow money from the Skoptsy. Sectarians, despite the defeat in rights, participated in social events held by the regional board.
A large community existed in Yakutia until the mid-1950s, primarily concentrating in the area of the then suburb of Yakutsk, Markha. After the Skoptsy, strong houses remained in March and other villages. As strong as their past hosts.
