Tackling Space

Federal Politics and the Russian North
Herausgeber: Blakkisrud, Helge; Honneland, Geir

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The North is intrinsic to the way most outsiders imagine Russia: snow, long winters and the endless Siberian forests. This inhospitable land contains immense natural wealth that is both a burden and an asset. Today's Russian authorities face the challenge of negotiating the North's obsolete, mono-industrial towns and its largely untapped natural resources.
