Prospects of socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

Abstract

Strategic documents related to the socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are considered. The role of system-forming projects that have a significant impact on the development of engineering and transport infrastructure in the Arctic is determined. The place of St. Petersburg as a historically developed center for the study and development of the Arctic zone in various directions is shown. The article analyzes a systematic approach to the development of mineral resources in the Arctic on the basis of a broad interdepartmental and interregional interaction of various economic entities in the real sector of the economy and government authorities.
