New Russian Arctic

Summary/Abstract: Dear readers! We present to your attention a unique project of a thematic interdisciplinary issue of the journal devoted to modern problems of the development of the Russian Arctic. He brought together a team of several dozen professionals — scientists of different generations, from various fields of humanities (economists, geographers, demographers, sociologists), from academic institutes and universities in Moscow, Syktyvkar, Petrozavodsk, Vologda, Yekaterinburg, Khabarovsk and Magadan, who for many years have been passionate about the topic of studying the economic and social development of the Russian Arctic. Fifteen articles of the thematic issue are devoted to various aspects of this topic, which can be grouped into five main areas: general methodological, demographic, municipal, regional and transport studies of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Despite the difference in the plots, our issue also has a thread connecting all the articles: the theme of the new Arctic. New technologically, new in terms of research, in terms of the methods of study used, in terms of the databases and analytical tools used. For the first time on the pages of this thematic issue, our authors apply the theory of technical and economic patterns to predict the medium-term development of the Russian Arctic zone as a whole, its regions and municipalities, constructively use a scientometric approach to analyzing the flow of Arctic research in Russia and the world over the past decades, apply methods of multidimensional demography to assess the human resources of the Arctic and the North, use a new approach to measuring the sustainability of migration flows over time, Innovatively, using big data and web analytics tools, the boundaries of the Arctic and northern urban agglomerations are determined, and for the first time, the statistics of the Federal Tax Service are applied on a large scale to assess the monetary income of the population of Arctic municipalities.
