Few people live in the Far North, and even fewer of them mean business. That is why they are visible from afar, like orange-cap boletus in reindeer lichen. Some people believe them be a nuisance, others are annoyed with their bright lives. The stars of the anthology ‘People Who Mean Business. The Arctic’ are united by an irrepressible desire to create and change for the better their lives, their style, and the urban environment in the cities and towns of the Kola Arctic. The miscellany consists of four short stories creating portraits of contemporary heroes: ‘Women's Lessons in Chainsaw Use’, ’Sailors’ ‘The House That Black Built’, and ‘Happy as Can Be’.
