The Arctic has historically been a strategically important region for Russia, from before the Cold War to the recent efforts in increasing shipping along the Northern Sea Route. Russia holds the largest share of petroleum resources in the Arctic, the governance model for which has been changing over the past few decades based on the current political priorities, external events, and geophysical changes in the region. Following the conflict in Ukraine, the European Union and the United States adopted sanctions limiting the cooperation between Russian and western companies for Arctic offshore petroleum development. This paper analyses transformation in national governance of natural resources in the Russian Arctic, focusing on offshore oil and gas. It provides historical background of the governance model to facilitate the analysis of the effects of western sanctions on the current resource development and its regulation. Through the analysis of legal and policy documents, this paper provides an outlook for future developments in the Russian Arctic offshore resource governance.

This is confirmed not only by the official statistics on the production characteristics of regional development, but also by cross-country comparisons of the share of national wealth owned by a narrow circle of oligarchs and multimillionaires, by the ratio of salaries of top managers at state corporations or national ministers to the national averages, etc.…”

“…When the two extreme indicators are eliminated and calculation is performed without singling out autonomous districts, the gap is reduced up to 15-fold (the indicator for Tyumen oblast compared to the indicator for the Republic of Ingushetia) 4. Thus, in China, the regional policy of polarized development over the past 10 years has been replaced by a policy of leveling the socioeconomic development of regions.…”

The problems of Russia's spatial development and accompanying disparities are considered. The authors express their position with regard to the currently devised Strategy for Spatial Development of the Russian Federation and formulate conceptual provisions that should be reflected in it. Analysis is performed for the strategic priorities of spatial development of Russia and Siberia, as well as trends, challenges, and threats that can change the development vectors of the country's macroregions. Special attention is paid to the positioning of Siberia in the Russia's eastern development vector and, in particular, to the problems of development and interaction between the regions of Siberia, the Russian Far East, and northeastern China. Some issues of reconciliation between the Eurasian Economic Union and the economic belt of the Great Silk Road, as well as the implementation of the strategic initiative One Belt-One Way are considered.
