Geography
Keperveyem is located just southwest of Bilibino on the banks of the Bolshoy Keperveyem River, near its confluence with the Maly Anyuy River.[11] The name Keperveyem comes from the Chukchi for Wolverine River.[12]
History
The village was founded in 1934 following the collectivisation of a number of nomadic herders into a collective farm called Vperyod (Russian: Вперёд), which was initially located further north on the Rauchua River near its mouth on the shore if the East Siberian Sea. In 1947, the collective farm was moved to the present site of the village on the banks of the River Keperveyem. A new airfield was developed in the winter of 1963, which would go on to become the gateway to Bilibinsky District.
Change in municipal status
On November 20, 2010, a law was passed abolishing Keperveyem Rural Settlement.[2] Keperveyem still exists as a selo, but is now municipally incorporated into Bilibino Urban Settlement.[2] The local municipal administration of Keperveyem was abolished, and governmental power, along with municipal property, property rights and budgets were transferred to Bilibino municipal administration.[2]
Demographics
The population as at January 2010 was 336, of whom 166 were male and 170 female,[5] a slight variation on a 2010 estimate of 328 on the Bilibinsky District Official website,[3] and down from an estimated population of 461 in 2005 in a report on the Kupol gold project.[13] The head of the village is Sergei Mikhalin.[3] The village was demographically organised thus:
