摘要:This edition examines sustainability issues in the Russian Arctic. Firstly, Vladimir Didyk considers the case of a single-industry mining town in the Murmansk region, asking how federal and regional government efforts to support such towns interact with local efforts to cope with the challenges of development. Secondly, Tobias Holzlehner assesses the relationship between official efforts to move towards urbanization in Chukotka, and the choice of some of its populations to return to their old traditional coastal villages. Thirdly, Aimar Ventsel outlines how many individuals in the Sakha Republic become entrepreneurs as a matter of survival, suggesting that these “reluctant entrepreneurs” do not necessarily try to expand successful enterprises, but instead seek to diversify their holdings in order to avoid risks
