Popis: Attention is drawn to the fate of Russian Arctic regions of raw material specialization, distinguished by single-industry structure of the economy. The urgency of the problem is explained by the inevitable depletion of hydrocarbon and ore resources in the future, as a result of which these regions are threatened with economic depression. The latter may come earlier - due to sharp jumps in world prices for raw materials and the "demarche" of mining companies. The authors believe that to ensure the sustainable development of the Arctic regions of Russia today there are no "iron" recipes. The experience of the USA, Canada and other foreign countries is not always representative. Numerous factors should be taken into account – not only economic, but also ethnic, geopolitical, the factor of "delayed benefit" (in connection (in connection with the planned operation of the Northern sea route), etc. In any case, the restructuring of the regional economy is necessary within the significant centers, implying the emergence of new branches of specialization within the existing resource base, the development of high-tech production, expansion of services (including tourism), transport, computer science, communications, etc. As a specific landfill is considered Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, according to the authors, the most clearly reflects the nature of the problem. Recommendations on the transition of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug from a narrow specialization to a balanced economy, on the transformation of this region into an Outpost of the Russian Arctic are presented.
