Last week, the Arctic was invited to the fringes of the Russo-American dialogue about Ukraine. Here's one aspect of this week's polar retrospective. #Arctic #Russia #Putin #Trump #Gas Arctida POLITICO polarjournal.net/the-polar-retr…

Before February 2022, the Arctic was a region of international cooperation. Governments, environmental organizations, and Indigenous communities engaged in real dialogue to shape its future. Now, it's a scorched earth for cooperation. arctida.io/projects/After…

Мое новое исследование о национализации российских компаний, сделали вместе с Новая газета Европа. Если коротко, то за первый квартал 2025 года стоимость изъятых активов превышает то, что изъяли за весь 2023 год. Новые тренды и новые отрасли, в которых изымались активы внутри

1/4 Our new survey with Russian Field reveals contradictions in Russians’ public opinions regarding the Arctic region. There’s a call for ​​careful and balanced development paired with a desire to extract resources 🧵

2/4 Russians increasingly view the Arctic through a military lens (+21% since 2023), yet 79% still want international cooperation. Younger respondents favor collaboration, while those with militaristic views support resource development.

3/4 Our survey uncovered this paradox: 53% support military presence while 55% see it as "a zone of dialogue and stability." Meanwhile, 58% view the region primarily as a mineral resources base needed for Russia's growth.

4/4 Our findings suggest these contradictions stem from "agreement bias" and knowledge gaps. Public opinion isn't just contradictory but not fully formed, even with a growing concern for global warming (7% more than in 2023). Full analysis here: arctida.io/projects/Contr…

1/4 Russia's new Pacific Railway has transported 2M tons of coal from Elga deposit to Port Elga on the Sea of Okhotsk, the officials say. Construction was completed in October 2024 after Putin's approval in 2021.

2/4 Officials call it a "labor feat" comparable to the Baikal-Amur Mainline. However, Arctida’s analysis shows that current transport volumes are 3-4 times lower than needed to reach the promised 15M tons in 2025.

3/4 Two train derailments have occurred so far: November 2024 and January 2025. The January accident derailed 39 coal cars and destroyed 250m of track, requiring two weeks for repairs. The reason for that can be the forced speed of construction and the mistakes followed from it.

4/4 Port Elga faces 5-6 months of heavy ice annually. Despite three icebreakers (Kapitan Dranitsyn, Sankt-Petersburg, Kapitan Khlebnikov), only 1M tons of the 2M tons delivered have been shipped out by mid-April. That is another complication Arctida sees in reaching the desired

To map this landscape, I interviewed several current and former Russian officials, mostly from the “civilian bloc” led by Deputy PM Yuri Trutnev. Many expressed alarm at the 2024 rise of Patrushev’s influence - a “Patrushevisation” of the Arctic, as Shumanov Ilia put it earlier.
