For over five centuries, Russia has maintained its status as the leading Arctic power. The heroic work of our pioneers—from Semyon Chelyuskin to Artur Chilingarov—laid a solid foundation for the exploration of the Arctic.
We built big cities north of the Arctic Circle, created a unique nuclear icebreaker fleet, and transformed the Northern Sea Route into a global international transport artery. Russia has proven its ability to operate effectively even in the harsh climate of the Far North. Th Innovative manufacturing is being launched in the Russian Arctic, minerals are being extracted, LNG plants are being built, and cutting-edge research and floating nuclear power plants are being developed.
Behind each of these achievements lies your high level of professionalism, dedication, and sincere love for your homeland. Thank you for your dedicated work! I wish you good health, boundless energy, inspiration, and new achievements for the benefit of Russia!is large-scale work is still actively underway.
