The suicide dynamics of three towns of the Murmansk oblast (Apatity, Kirovsk, Monchegorsk) from 1967 till 2010 has been analyzed. It has been shown that the complex of heliogeophysical and man-made factors seemed to influence the suicide dynamics in the high latitudes. The variety of suicide occurrence showed periodicities close to the main solar cycles. At the same time, a simultaneous decrease of suicide occurrence observed in three towns during 1985-1991 was probably connected with the beginning of the “anti-alcohol campaign”. A statistically significant (r s = 0,8; p = 0,005) correlation dependence of the suicide dynamics in Monchegorsk on the amount of atmospheric emissions of Cu by the biggest Russian nickel-copper smelter “Severonikel” in the period 1995-2009 has been detected
