The Background of Extreme Tourism in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

   Forms of tourism associated with risk and danger are now dynamically developing cultural industries all over the world. The article is devoted to the coverage of the history of tourism in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which in one form or another were associated with danger and risk, but were practiced before the emergence of extreme tourism as a sustainable practice. Based on the Kagan’s concept of systematic understanding of cultural phenomena and the Roger Caillois’s play theory, extreme tourism is understood by the author as a type of tourism based on gaming activities associated with risk and danger and gained its popularity in the conditions of man-made civilization. Based on historical and historical-narrative methods, the article is the first attempt to illuminate the history of Yakutia in the light of studying extreme practices. For the first time, attention is paid to interesting, but not reflected in the history of the region, facts of visits to Yakutia by famous foreign travelers of the past. The study of the prehistory of extreme tourism is also actualized by the fact that in modern forms of extreme sports, people often turn to recreating and imitating events and practices of the past in order to give a value attitude to modern forms of extreme activity. Therefore, the background of extreme tourism can be used to develop new routes, as well as for marketing purposes to attract an extreme tourist and to legendize tourist brands of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The article is written on the basis of the author’s thesis research.
