Abstract

It is shown that the main emphasis in the economic sphere of the modern Arctic shifts to the socio-economic returns of projects and different economic activity areas. The leader is not one who implements ambitious projects but the one who provides the solution to this problem in line with the sustainable functioning of the fragile and unique nature of the "high latitudes." It is stressed the important role of the activities on alignment with the environmental requirements of the previously created objects.
