In the Arctic, all directions of the region’s development are a priority

In 2013, a very important organization marked its 20th anniversary - the Barents Euro-Arctic Council. Top officials of participating countries have repeatedly reaffirmed the importance and positive prospects of the organization’s work. Currently, at the regional level (Barents Regional Committee (BRC)- ed.) the Arkhangelsk region is the Chairman of the Council at the regional level (Barents Regional Committee (BRC)). We cherish the present relationship and ideas, which have been born during those 20 years and which, I am sure, represent a great future.

We must show people that they have a future in the Arctic

The Arctic is my home. I can't imagine living anywhere else and will not leave this place with its madly beautiful nature. For some people, the North is an interesting object to explore. For me and other residents of the Murmansk region it is, first of all, the place where we live. Although I do not exclude that it is easier to explore the Arctic than to live in there.

Yamal remains the base of development of the Russian Arctic

The strategic importance of the Arctic for Russia is enshrined in the basic public documents, the key one of which is the Integrated Development Strategy for the Russian Arctic and Ensuring National Security up to 2020.

Chukotka is a remote but promising region

At all kinds of events, they often ask the question, “What does one need to do to have an interesting, convenient and healthy life in the Arctic?”. In my view, the answer is obvious. First and foremost, you need to provide people with fuel and heat, thus, it requires an affordable tariff. I don’t think there is anything to say about the heating part. Chukotka is located entirely in the Arctic, the average annual temperature is 14 degrees below zero, that is, without exaggeration, extreme weather conditions. Secondly, it is necessary to solve the issue of logistics. People need everyday consumer goods: food, clothing, fuel. Where do they come from, if they are not made on site? Of course, they are delivered from other parts of the country.

The Arctic must be researched comprehensively
