| Summary/Abstract |
This article is devoted to the research of military and economic aspects of national security of the Russian Federation in the Arctic. The authors consider national riches as the country`s main security object in the region. This work describes basic measures undertaken by Moscow over recent years to improve Russia`s defense capabilities as well as main components of its economic policy in the Arctic. It also analyses positive and negative factors that could influence implementation of Russia`s energy and infrastructure projects in the Arctic. Finally, in the context of the so-called “Russian pivot to the East” the authors assess prospects of Russian cooperation with Asia-Pacific nations (especially China, South Korea and Japan) in the Arctic.
