The Russian Arctic in 2022–2023. New Solutions

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the latest changes in the territory of the most unique macro-region of Russia – the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. In 2022–2023, socio-political, economic, social and even mental transformations affected all spatial components of our federal state and, especially, the subjects of the Federation and municipalities on the territory of the Russian Arctic. During this period, the country’s leadership, under unprecedented sanctions pressure, managed to urgently adjust the decades-old diplomatic and foreign economic ties and make extraordinary state decisions that stimulate economic activity in all types of economic activities. An example of the effectiveness of this is the innovations in the Russian Arctic, which have become an indicative model of the new course of the development of our state, combining the freedom of market relations and powerful state regulation of the economy, the desire for economic sovereignty and active interstate cooperation, constructive social policy and the imperative nature of spiritual and moral values. Today, what is happening in the Russian Arctic is extremely multidimensional, and therefore, in the limited text space of this article, only a summary assessment of the situation is given and the latest issues of the work of the Northern Sea Route and the Northern Delivery are considered. The Reinformation basis of the study was official documents and publications of 2022–2023.
