Description
Summary:Abstract The geospatial image of the Russian Arctic in the cultural and civilizational context is considered, taking into account the current policy and development strategy of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2035. Russian Arctic world as a domestic phenomenon, which embodies the specifics of Russian civilization, national culture, history and geography, is in the center of attention. It is emphasized that the “space factor” played and continues to play a huge role in the formation of Russian civilization. It left a vivid imprint on all aspects of public life. Overcoming the space in Russia still remains one of the most urgent state tasks. First of all, this applies to the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, the strategic importance of which is becoming more and more significant. It is pointed out that the implementation of the unique geospatial capabilities of the Russian Arctic lies not only in the implementation of the strategic tasks of socio-economic development and technological advancement, but also in the spiritual, moral, cultural and professional growth of people living and working there. As the methodological basis of the study, the authors chose the concept of “spatial rotation”, which covers modern social theory and practice. Its main content boils down to the fact that space is recognized as an active participant in the interactions taking place on Earth. At the same time, the space is represented as a “characteristic” human work, saturated with the meanings of social dialectics and strategy. This statement was an argument to consider the fact of “spatialization” of the Russian Arctic into the category of a special life world. In this regard, the idea is expressed about the need for an intensive “humanization” of the Russian Arctic world.
