“…On the eastern shore, the Soviet authorities organised the export of many products by a system of pipelines and port terminals, all involving transit via western republics and leading to Baltic ports (Radvanyi, 2017). So the Baltic countries have not ceased to be the seaboard for Russia and Belarus (Drweski, 2006).…”

“…Within this framework, the port of Kaliningrad has effectively become marginal, owing to its isolation from Russian territory and the new container terminal which has been developed, essentially serving companies in the local free economic zone. Regarding the port of St Petersburg, it is too hemmed in by its agglomeration, and should refocus on passenger traffic and some specialised transport (Radvanyi, 2017).…”

The Baltic Sea Region (BSR) appears as a specific space in which ports, maritime transport and the entire shipping cluster are crucially important. The BSR is one of the most heavily trafficked seas in the world, and maritime transport has contributed to its prosperity. After the collapse of the USSR, the Baltic Sea recovered its role as a contact and transit area. The opening up of the eastern shore to the market economy has brought about the reactivation of its maritime system, which over the years never stopped being a major element in the production of regional integration. Discourses on Baltic unity are often based on the importance of maritimity and maritime trade, but there is also a significant regional diversity in the shipping industry. Nowadays, the emergence of new directions in specialisation, and of new decision makers in ports, allows for new expectations and issues for Baltic ports. The author shows how, in this special Baltic context, ports and maritime stakeholders interact, participating in regional development and integration, but also by pursuing differentiated trajectories.

“…As the Polish geographer Ryszard Domański stresses, the spatial organisation transformations are always more radical when they are a result of daring political and economic innovations and massive investment (Domański 1994: 10). In post-Soviet Russia, the overall market situation, the efforts of large businesses, and the state policy (consistent and successful, according to international experts (Radvanyi 2017)) made 'sea-intensive' logistics projects both a sine qua non and a driver of economic activity. The completion of these projects, offshore oil and gas development, marine bioresource exploration, the revitalisation of sea resorts, and the efforts to strengthen Russia's defence have created a background for restoring the integrity of the marine economy.…”

The Sea Factor in the Spatial and Socio-Economic Dynamics of Today’s Russia

The World Ocean and, in particular, its resource potential have always had a dramatic effect on the progress and spatial organisation of humanity. Recently, the effect of the sea factor on the economy and the settlement system has increased amid globalisation, geoeconomic changes, increasing geopolitical turbulence, and the growing competition for resources. In this article, I attempt to assess the influence of the sea factor on the socioeconomic geography of the Russian Federation. A country with an extensive coastline and a vast inland area, Russia has territories that are very different in geographical terms. I pay special attention to the post-Soviet changes in the major components of the country’s maritime economy: seaports, fishing industry, offshore production, recreation, etc. Another focus is the assessment of these industries’ impact on the development of the coastal areas. I demonstrate the growing dependence between the maritime economy and the economic development of Russia’s inland regions. I identify the key natural geographic, foreign economy, settlement-related, and geopolitical factors of the coastalisation of the economy, infrastructure, and population, observed in Russia today. This process is taking place in the Baltic, Black, and Caspian Sea areas, as well as in the Arctic and Pacific regions of the country. I conclude that Russia’s integration into the system of multi-dimensional Eurasian partnerships (including the Belt and Road initiative) and the ‘turn to the East’ contribute to both the further ‘marinisation’ of Russian space and the differentiation of coastal zones by the level and rates of socio-economic development.

“…Elle est aujourd'hui un acteur international influent dans plusieurs parties du monde, même si elle présente de nombreux signes de fragilité. C'est un pays qui continue de se transformer en profondeur et qui cherche toujours à renforcer la maîtrise et la desserte de son propre territoire (Hou, 2011 ;Marchand, 2014 ;Radvanyi, 2017). La Russie renvoie toujours, sur la scène mondiale, l'image d'une puissance énergétique, usant des leviers pétroliers et gaziers comme outils politiques.…”
