Chief of Chukotka (Russian: Начальник Чукотки, romanized: Nachalnik Chukotki) is a 1966 Soviet adventure comedy-drama film directed by Vitaly Melnikov.
However, despite Glazkov's death, the musher refuses to turn the dogs back and delivers Alyosha to Uigunan, where he is met by the former tsarist customs officer Khramov.
Alyosha appoints the Chukcha Vukvutagin (whom he nicknames Vovka), previously resettled outside the village by Khramov for attempting to break into Stenson’s warehouses, as his commandant.
The owners of these ships, taking advantage of the ignorance of the Chukchi, buy furs for next to nothing, and then resell them for a real price on foreign markets, paying Khramov a small "duty" in gratitude.
As a result, Alyosha collects a million dollars and decides to use this money to build "full socialism" in Chukotka with baths, electricity, and even a planetarium.
