In recent years, the Russian Artic zone has seen a level of activity heretofore unseen in the post-Soviet era. A large proportion of Russia’s Arctic land administratively belongs to the Ural Federal District and Siberian Federal District; however, the majority of the activity in these regions does not include neighboring territories. The Ural and Siberian federal districts have hosted joint meetings consisting of scientists, entrepreneurs, the governors of the two districts, and the presidential plenipotentiary envoy. The focus of these meetings was the task of spreading the economic effect of northern projects beyond the Arctic zone and to exploit the scientific and industrial potential of the Urals and Siberia in the process of developing the Arctic.
