Abstract
Objective: to present the development features of the most important geostrategic territory of Russia on the basis of historical understanding, taking into account the ongoing climatic changes and analyzing the initial stage of active entry into the Arctic. Methods: the cognitive and partly debatable nature of the research determined the use of such methods of cognition as historical, which allows us to consider various types of activities over a certain period and draw conclusions about the beginning of the active phase of research and development of the Arctic over the last century; empirical, and logical methods, including analysis, comparison, and data summarization.
Results: the tasks of improving the territorial structure of the economy, as well as the ongoing transformation of the national space of the country in order to develop remote regions require practical and scientific understanding in order to maximize their effectiveness. The article analyzes the key regulations in the field of Arctic development, as well as scientific research on this issue. On their basis, the genesis of the most important stages of the modern development of the Arctic is presented, which contributes to strengthening the priority status of this geostrategic macro-region of Russia. It is determined that the economic development of the Arctic should be combined with a strong protection of national interests, as well as with a state support system.
Scientific novelty: consists in the formation of a chronology of the main directions of the state’s practical activities over the past decade, which contributed to implementing the main goal of modern transformations in the Arctic, which is to protect national interests, national priorities and involve the remote, hard-to-reach and sparsely populated territories into economic turnover.
Practical significance: the study results can be used to develop a strategy for the development of the Arctic regions, and can serve as the basis for further scientific research.
