Arctic Fox in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia

SM Kozlov

“Russia has approximately 2.4 million people residing in the Arctic, and just like everyone they have their constitutional rights, and their standard of living should be no worse than the average one for Russia. It’s a certain challenge, because capabilities of certain municipalities are behind those indicators”.

 

Alexander Kozlov,

Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic
