Vestnik Kavkaza

Today, some experts in Russia and the West call into question the feasibility of developing the Arctic shelf deposits in conditions of declining world prices for oil and anti-Russian sanctions. But in Moscow it is said that the Arctic shelf is a strategic resource, the development of which, at least in exploration, must be continued. Russia constantly demonstrates its seriousness about the development of the Arctic. According to some reports, it intends to restore its military bases in the Arctic, built during the Soviet years.

Another demonstration of the flag in the literal and figurative sense of the word will be an expedition to the Arctic. The biggest Russian flag will go to the North Pole as part of the cultural and patriotic project Arctic-2015, implemented under the auspices of the international environmental movement Live Planet.

The project Arctic-2015 is dedicated to the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The flag will be brought to the station Borneo, that is located on a drifting ice floe about 100 km from the northernmost point of the planet. With it on Borneo the flags of all regions of Russia will be deployed.

Recently in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation the ceremony of transfer of flags was held in the framework of the project Arctic-2015 and Parade of Flags of regions of Russia. The authorities of all subjects of the federation passed flags to the member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and TV host Nikolai Drozdov.

As Drozdov has stated to Vestnik Kavkaza, "promoting patriotism, a sense of the unified state of our people is extremely important, because there are external and even internal threats.
