If it is the latter, I just submitted a revised version of paper titled, 'Living in two places: permanent transience in the Magadan region, Russia Far East' to Alaska Journal of Anthropology. The paper deals with the feeling of profound ambivalence (permanent/temporary) on the part of many (non-Native) inhabitants of that region with regards to that place, which partly stems from the ambivalence and contradictions rooted in the state policy of populating this area and partly from 'narratives-models', local public discourses that guide individual action. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll send you a copy when it's ready.
