In this article I will explore the correlation between the discourse of youths’ out-migration and their attitudes toward the infrastructure of Tilichiki, a small town in Kamchatka. I attempt to contest the perspective that out-migration (resulting in town depopulation) is caused by the perception of social infrastructure as insufficient. The analysis of local discourse shows that negative or positive descriptions of infrastructure, social services and life conditions in the town in general depend on whether the person has plans of leaving the town. This correlation is supported by temporal dimension of one’s life project: the duration of speakers’ residence in the town or the amount of time that they are planning to spend there.

对基础设施和北部城镇搬迁机会的态度的时间维度

在这篇文章中，我将探讨年轻人外迁的话语与他们对堪察加小镇蒂里奇基基础设施的态度之间的相关性。我试图反驳这样一种观点，即外迁（导致城镇人口减少）是由于认为社会基础设施不足而引起的。对当地话语的分析表明，对城镇基础设施、社会服务和生活条件的负面或正面描述通常取决于该人是否有离开城镇的计划。这种相关性得到了一个人生活项目的时间维度的支持：演讲者在镇上的居住时间或他们计划在那里度过的时间。
