"In 2008, my friends and I were already in these places on a yacht. We left Chupa, crossed the Arctic Circle, stopped at Solovki, and returned back to Karelia. Back then, it was completely wild; there was almost no communication anywhere, and there was no infrastructure for overnight stays on shore, even minimal. The trip ended, and the beauty of the north remained in my heart. Some time passed, and I started looking for land and plots. It turned out that it was easier to register through the "hectare" program than to buy suitable land at the market or auction. Two years ago, my partners and I acquired "Arctic hectares" in Karelia and began developing them," says Stanislav Morozov, a participant in the "Hectare" program in the Arctic.
In addition to receiving free land through the “Hectare” program in the Arctic, Stanislav plans to take advantage of investor preferences and obtain resident status in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). "When we received the “hectares”, it became clear almost immediately that we wouldn't have enough land and would need to expand. We want to acquire additional land plots through a simplified procedure as residents of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. Furthermore, during the initial stage, when investment will be particularly high, the tax breaks and administrative support provided under the preferential regime are of great importance to us," he added.
