“…The Russian government argues that following the ILO standards would infringe upon Russian law because all land in Russia belongs to the state and cannot be owned by any ethnic group. However, there are Russian laws that acknowledge the rights of Indigenous Peoples and require consultations in order to conduct extractive activities (Gassiy and Potravny 2019;Tysiachniouk et al 2020). The rights to land and resources are guaranteed for the Indigenous Peoples of Russia in Article 69 of the Russian Constitution, in the Land Code and in other more specific legislative acts.…”

“…Benefit sharing, formally defined as the distribution of monetary and nonmonetary benefits generated through the resource extraction activity (e.g., Thuy et al 2013), represents one aspect of CSR but does not necessarily imply the recognition of FPIC. The mechanisms of benefit sharing vary considerably within Russia (Tysiachniouk et al 2020), but they often reflect the power struggles between companies, authorities and Indigenous Peoples placed in the context of global standards and expectations. In certain cases, such benefit-sharing agreements are 'labelled' as FPIC (Wilson 2016), 3 although the practice is not universal.…”

“…Opinions about principles of rent withdrawal and assignment vary: either rent should be distributed among citizens and transferred to their personal accounts, or it should be withdrawn for the benefit of certain groups of the country population, or rent should be used centrally: to establish funds, etc., [32][33][34][35][36][37]. However, what method of rent redistribution is appropriate for Russia and its regions that have their own peculiarities?…”

The significant resource potential of the Arctic has attracted the attention of its adjacent countries and extra-regional states. The mineral and raw material base of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) comprises a wide range of minerals. However, due to its hydrocarbon reserves, the Arctic is considered to be the most important geopolitical and geo-economic macro-region for Russia. A significant portion of the Arctic hydrocarbons (about 19%) is concentrated in the territory of Russia’s shelf. The extraction of Arctic marine oil and gas resources and ensuring the sustainability of the Russian energy complex depend significantly on the level of Arctic development. Thus, the pace and quality of the development of AZRF are strategically important to ensure the national interests of the country. It has been proven that the implementation of the state program for AZRF development and strategic plans of the largest companies operating in the region consolidate the raw material nature of AZRF development. Rent becomes the main form of income. This article addresses the main directions of the region’s development and the factors that prevent a high level of industrialization, which increase attention to the withdrawal and redistribution of rental income. The article considers the Russian and foreign experiences of withdrawal and redistribution of oil and gas rental income, and analyzes the level of socio-economic development of AZRF. The authors suggest a methodology for assessing the impact of a country’s area and population size on the ability to achieve a high income due to hydrocarbons. The authors also explain the principles of rental income redistribution in the region as a basis for improving the level of AZRF’s socio-economic development and as a condition for transition from the “colonial model” of development to the “sustainable development” model. The study results can be used to elaborate a mechanism for rental income redistribution in AZRF and state programs for the region’s development.

“…Sakha Republic is rich in globally needed natural resources and many Russian statecontrolled extractive companies operate in close proximity to Indigenous communities who practice traditional reindeer herding, fishing, hunting, gathering, and cattle or horse breeding. Many companies provide employment opportunities for local people, share benefits or compensate for damages to ecosystems, and make agreements on corporate social responsibility with local communities [82]. However, even if formally compensated, these damages are profound, benefit sharing is minimal, tax revenues are transferred only at the construction stage, local employment is limited in favor of fly-in-fly-out workers, and access to roads is complicated via the travel permit system [83].…”

Indigenous understanding of sustainability is embedded in close relations to land and environment, Indigenous Knowledge systems, Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies, and Indigenous languages. However, the sustainability of Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods is significantly affected by various global change drivers. In the Arctic, Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods are impacted by environmental, social, and cultural changes, including climate change, environmental pollution, economic processes, and resource extraction. This paper aims to review and synthesize recent academic and gray literature on the sustainability of Indigenous communities in Sakha Republic, Northeast Siberia, Russia in the face of global change with a particular focus on land- and water-based traditional activities, native language, and the Indigenous Knowledge system.
