Abstract

The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the development of the Arctic territory, which in recent decades has become a region that plays a special role in the context of the implementation of the national policy of the northern states. According to the strategic documents, Russia actively participates in the development of the Arctic: it supports cooperation through participation in the Arctic Council and other international forums, including representation of the interests of indigenous peoples; an attractive image of the North is created, social and professional selfrealisation of the peoples of the Far North is ensured. For this purpose, various programs and activities aimed at the development of the northern regions of Russia are offered. The purpose of this article is to analyse various forms of public involvement in the development of the Arctic region. Within the framework of the proposed article, Russia’s goals in the Arctic region are explored; forms of public involvement in various organisations related to the Arctic are established; examples of public participation in government processes are presented, as well as examples of participation and self-realisation of youth in the Arctic region are considered. The article discusses the ideas of such scientists and experts as V. N. Konyshev, A. A. Sergunin, P. V. Gogolev, A. N. Chilingarov. The methods of scientific research are used: comparative analysis, systemic and organisational-managerial approaches, principles of objectivity and scientific approach.

Abstract

School education in the Arctic zone of Russia represents a unique phenomenon shaped by extreme climatic conditions and cultural traditions. The article analyses the current state and prospects for the development of school education in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The main findings include identifying key issues such as insufficient material and technical support, a shortage of teachers, and poor internet connectivity. The article proposes granting special legal status to educational institutions in the Arctic to improve the education system, taking into account the ethnocultural characteristics of the region. It discusses ways to modernise infrastructure, prepare teaching staff, and incorporate ethnocultural components into the educational process. These measures are aimed at increasing the accessibility and quality of education, which, in turn, will contribute to the socio-economic development of the region and the country as a whole. The article also examines the implementation of distance learning and the use of digital technologies, which are particularly important given the remoteness and inaccessibility of Arctic territories. Additional attention is given to the preservation and development of the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples living in the Arctic. Finally, possible mechanisms of state support and funding for educational initiatives are considered, which could help create a sustainable and effective educational system capable of adapting to the challenges and conditions of the Arctic region.

Abstract

This article examines the development policy of the Russian Arctic in the form of the formation of governance institutions. Within the framework of the federal structure of our country, the implementation of regional policy of local territories is being updated. In the 2000s, the targeted, compensatory approach was updated, where the most promising macro-subjects are identified. The Far East and the Arctic region are especially noted due to the combination of socio-economic factors, natural and climatic conditions, transport infrastructure, and geopolitical position. In the field of regulatory and legal sphere, strategies, concepts, and regulations for the development of the Arctic region were adopted. The formation of institutional management in the form of the creation of separate authorities is observed. Until the mid-2000s, the functions of developing the Arctic were duplicated in various federal departments. In 2014, a separate State Commission for the Development of the Arctic was created. In 2019, the previously functioning Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East was supplemented with the tasks of developing the Arctic. There is also a separate state Corporation for the Development of the Far East and Arctic, responsible for investment potential. The effectiveness of Arctic policy also depends on a clear definition and division of functions and powers between federal and regional authorities. Regional policy is an integrating factor in the interaction of the two levels of government, which has a positive effect on the overall economic development of the country and federal relations.

Abstract

With the beginning of the 20th century, after the end of the Cold War and the decline of tensions in the world, relations between states also underwent changes. This became especially noticeable in places with complex infrastructure and extreme living conditions. For many years, the Arctic remained a territory of calm and progressive development, primarily related to scientific research. However, the events that we discussed above forced countries to treat the Arctic region differently. Today, the Arctic is considered a territory with potentially inexhaustible resources, which can provide solid economic growth to any state in the long term. All of the above presupposes a clear definition of borders by states on the basis of international treaties and acts, as well as the resolution of all contentious issues exclusively at the negotiating table. It is necessary to do everything so that during the period of sanctions and complex international relations, the Arctic remains a territory of peace.
