Abstract

This article provides the rationale for the need to conduct a study of ethnic (national) minority festivals in the Russian Arctic as a phenomenon of blue culture in the Republic of Korea. If earlier the Arctic was difficult to develop due to natural and environmental factors, now it is becoming a space for economic growth. South Korea also reiterated the importance of the North Pole for its economic development and put forward various proposals under the new policy of the Northern Government. Among them, we recognize the importance of the Arctic in projects such as Blue Growth and Blue Economy that focus on the economic use of the oceans. However, the development of resources in the Russian Arctic is causing the destruction of indigenous people s urbanization, the destruction of their living spaces, and the disappearance of traditional culture due to the influx of new populations. Since cultural diversity and preservation of ethnic minority cultures are also important to humanity, it can be said that it is very important to study the archetypes and religious systems of ethnic minorities living in the Russian Arctic Circle and to study festivals. In particular, the study of cultural festivals that support the ethnic identity of the region may be related to the tourism industry along the Arctic route, and its value may be high.
