Abstract
The relevance of the article is due to the fact that in addition to security and environmental protection, Russia pays special attention to the development of the Arctic region, mainly to create an Arctic base of natural strategic resources and the Northern Sea Route. The article presents a description of the features and trends in the development of the Russian Arctic and the Northern Sea Route as part of increasing the development and production of coal in coal mining projects near the sea coast (Sakhalin, Chukotka, Taimyr). It is concluded that the development potential of the Northern Sea Route is determined by strategic documents and practical actions; the connection between the NSR and coal mining in the Arctic, determined by significant proven reserves, which are of strategic importance for the national economy in the long term, is highlighted. It is substantiated that the energy transition to the eastern states and the development of resources are impossible without the development of transport communications, which is determined by the characteristic specifics of the Arctic territories, their length and distance from the main consumer markets.
Keywords
