The paper discusses the role and a specific character of reindeer breeding as the main sector of the traditional northern economy. It examines advantages and drawbacks of different management systems and demonstrates the dynamics of changes and the proportion of domestic reindeer population in the federal subjects of the North. We study the reindeer breeding before the reforms and in the market period. The article further analyzes the target program of reindeer breeding development in the Komi Republic. It defines issues of economic development in the region due to the absence of a federal act on reindeer breeding, unregulated interregional connections aimed at pastures monitoring.
