Magadan Oblast was established on December 3, 1953. Until 1992, the region included Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The Oblast’s administrative, social and economic center is the city of Magadan, which has over 67% of the region’s population and is home to many large organizations. Magadan is 7,110 km away from Moscow. Magadan Oblast on the Russian Federation map: Источник: http://ru.wikipedia.org Magadan Oblast covers an area of around 462,500 sq. km1, which makes it the 11th largest region of Russia. At the same time, the Oblast is one of the most sparsely populated places in the country (population density was 0.33 people per 1 km2 as of January 1, 2014). It stretches 930 km from north to south and 960 km from west to east. Geographically, it is part of Russia’s Extreme North-East, a land-locked area characterized by a severe climate. The Oblast is washed by the Sea of Okhotsk. Land boundaries are in thinly populated mountainous areas. The Oblast borders with Khabarovsk Krai in the west, Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in the north-west, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the north- east, and with Kamchatka Krai in the south-east.

  • Economy of the Arctic “Islands”: the Case of Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Districts

Atamanova c) а) Council for the Study of Productive Forces under the Ministry of Economic Development of Russian Federation (Moscow, Russian Federation; e-mail: [email protected]) b) North-East Complex of Research Institute of the Far East Branch of RAS (Magadan, Russian Federation) c) Institute of Economics, Ural Branch of RAS (Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation; e-mail: [email protected]) ECONOMY OF THE ARCTIC “ISLANDS”: THE CASE OF NENETS AND CHUKOTKA AUTONOMOUS DISTRICTS The article discusses the economic phenomenon of Arctic “islands”. These territories of the Russian Arctic are inaccessible to transport all year round and significantly differ from other regions of Russian and North European Arctic. The economy of these Arctic “islands” is examined by using the example of Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Districts. Despite a significant “similarity of appearance” in terms of their economic and social parameters, at a closer look, these two regions show considerable internal differences. To identify them, the authors used a theoretical view of the Arctic economy as a unity of three sectors, including traditional sector, corporate (market) sector, and transfer-based (state) sector in a comparative analysis. Each sector has its key contradictions, structure and its own trajectory of evolution. The corporate sector in the economy of Nenets Autonomous District is significantly younger than the one in Chukotka, since the oil and gas development began there comparatively recently. A relatively long-standing gold mining operations in Chukotka allows to refer this Arctic region to the old industrial areas. The profitability of gold production there is significantly lower than the one of the Nenets oil.

Pešić: 26 March 2021 │ Published online 4 April 2021. Abstract The article summarizes the data on bugs in the treeless areas of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (tundra zone and the elfin wood subzone). Taking into account the available literary sources, as well as new materials (obtained in 2010s), 62 species of Heteroptera from 41 genera and 12 families are known here; 18 species recorded for these landscapes for the first time and 11 — for the Chukotka AO as a whole. There are: Saldula fucicola (J. Sahlberg, 1970) (Saldidae), Acompocoris brevirostris Kerzhner, 1979 (Anthocoridae); Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür, 1843), Leptopterna ferrugata (Linnaeus, 1758), Teratocoris saundersi Douglas et Scott, 1869, Plagiognathus obscuriceps (Stål, 1858), Plagiognathus pini Vinokurov, 1978, Psallus anticus (Reuter, 1876) (Miridae); Kleidocerys resedae (Panzer, 1797) (Lygaeidae); Aelia frigida Kiritshenko, 1926, Rhacognathus punctatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Pentatomidae). The number of known Heteroptera species for the tundra region of Chukotka increased from 39 to 51; for the elfin wood subzone — from 10 to 32 species. Some distribution features of bug species within zonal and climatic gradients of Chukotka are revealed.
