For almost a century, Norwegians, Russians and Ukrainians have competed in friendly sporting contests in the world's most northerly inhabited land, the Svalbard Islands. Neither the Cold War nor the collapse of the USSR ever interrupted these encounters. Today, the competitions have stopped. Russian and Ukrainian families, oppressed by increasing impositions from Moscow, are abandoning the archipelago, while the Norwegian government is increasing restrictions and limiting foreigners’ rights.
