Putin’s Master Plan For The Russian Arctic And Far East Will Speed Up The Global South’s Rise

Putin’s Master Plan For The Russian Arctic And Far East Will Speed Up The Global South’s Rise

By Andrew Korybko

The end result might be the world’s bifurcation into the US-led “Global West” and the Chinese-led Global South.

Putin elaborated on his master plan for the Russian Arctic and Far East during his keynote speech at this year’s Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok last week. This piece will summarize what he shared and analyse it in the emerging geostrategic context. To begin with, he envisages these regions serving as industrial, logistics, and tech hubs due to their location and resources. Raw materials will fuel industry; rivers and new railways, seaports, and airports will facilitate logistics; and rare earths will drive tech.

Relevant coastal facilities will be constructed in the future, which might be powered by new hydroelectric plants, and these will be connected to one another and hinterland areas (resource deposits and settlements) by an integrated logistics system. More bridges will be built to China and North Korea too. Existing preferential policies for businesses in some areas and for residents under some conditions will be expanded throughout both regions to stimulate investment and increase the population there.

Reducing population outflow is a priority, as is encouraging the inflow of Russians from elsewhere, which more enterprises can assist with upon the state streamlining last year’s policy of reimbursing them with tax deductions for continuing to build social infrastructure for their employees in remote areas. The attendant public-private partnership that Putin envisages strengthening can therefore accelerate regional socio-economic development per his master plan for the Arctic and Far East.

The emerging geostrategic context will help achieve these goals. The centre of the global economy has shifted from Europe to Asia, and with it, so too has Russia’s overall focus. China, India, and ASEAN (with Indonesia at its core) are considered Russia’s top partners in this regard. The latest updates are that Russia just clinched a long-negotiated deal over the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline; Putin plans to visit India by year’s end; and Russia clinched a strategic partnership deal with Indonesia earlier this summer.

Investments in the Transarctic Corridor (the Northern Sea Route plus planned rail-riparian connectivity to there from Siberia and the Far East) and the Eastern Polygon (the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baikal-Amur Mainland railway) will help Russia tap into these near-limitless market opportunities. It would also ideally benefit from trade with and investments from the US, EU, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, but these pillars of the “Global West” decided to sanction Russia as punishment for its special operation.

That was counterproductive since China will now likely play an even more outsized role in the Arctic and Far East’s development, especially as regards resource extraction, thus turbocharging its superpower trajectory and hastening their demise. India and Indonesia can help Russia preemptively avert potentially disproportionate dependence on China, which serves all three’s interests, while the “Global West” will continue harming its own interests by eschewing any role in Russia’s geo-economic balancing act.

Absent a policy reversal, even if only in part and from just some of the “Global West” like nearby Japan and South Korea, the implementation of Putin’s master plan for the Arctic and Far East will provide a powerful impetus to BRICS’ and the SCO’s rise as their members seek to transform global governance. China will lead the way while Russia, India, and Indonesia will play important supportive roles. The end result might be the world’s bifurcation into the US-led “Global West” and the Chinese-led Global South.

#Siberia: Residents stunned after strange new formations appear across remote landscape: 'The landscape has become pockmarked'

by Zachary Ehrmann
Fri, May 16, 2025

"Thawing ground in Siberia's remote #YamalPeninsula is warping the landscape — and residents say the changes are becoming impossible to ignore. Strange mounds, sudden sinkholes, and even explosive craters are reshaping the #tundra, alarming locals and researchers alike, per the Malay Mail.

"These changes are tied to a disturbing trend beneath the surface: the rapid thaw of once-frozen ground, known as #permafrost.

What's happening?

"As Siberia warms at nearly four times the global average, vast stretches of permafrost are thawing. When this frozen ground melts, it releases methane gas from ancient organic material once safely locked beneath the surface.

"In the Yamal region, that gas is pushing the earth upward into large mounds that sometimes explode, tearing open the landscape and leaving behind deep craters.

"Innokenty Poselsky, who bought land in Churapcha, noted that he had about 20 mounds pop up but that it wasn't always like that. 'About 40 years ago, there was an airstrip here and the land used to be quite flat. Over the last four decades, the landscape has become pockmarked. It's like that everywhere here,' he told the Malay Mail.

"Local villagers, many of whom rely on the tundra for #reindeer herding, say their homeland has become nearly unrecognizable. One herder told researchers that familiar flatlands have been replaced by unpredictable swells and holes.

Why is the thawing of Siberia's permafrost important?

"Beyond changing the physical landscape, permafrost melt poses major threats to communities and the planet. Thawing ground can damage roads, #pipelines, and homes. #Methane, the gas being released, is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term. That means this process isn't just a local hazard — it's a global #climate risk.

"Thawing permafrost can also accelerate other problems. Warmer, wetter conditions can spread disease, disrupt food systems, and increase the severity of #ExtremeWeather events by adding more heat-trapping polluting gases to the atmosphere.

"While extreme events such as #wildfires and #floods aren't new, scientists agree that a hotter planet — caused by human activity, mainly the burning of #FossilFuels — makes them both more destructive and more frequent."

#DNA from #mammoth remains reveals the history of the last surviving population
A small group of #woollymammoths became trapped on Wrangel Island around 10,000 years ago when rising sea levels separated the island from mainland #Siberia. Small, isolated populations of animals lead to #inbreeding and #genetic defects, and it has long been thought that the Wrangel Island #mammoths ultimately succumbed to this problem about 4,000 years ago.
https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/06/last-population-of-mammoths-survived-a-severe-population-bottleneck/

Last surviving woolly #mammoths were inbred but not doomed to extinction https://phys.org/news/2024-06-surviving-woolly-mammoths-inbred-doomed.html

Temporal dynamics of woolly #mammoth #genome erosion prior to #extinction: Marianne Dehasque et al. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)00577-4

"The last population of mammoths was isolated on #WrangelIsland off the coast of #Siberia 10,000 years ago, when sea levels rose and cut the mountainous island off from the mainland... they originated from at most 8 individuals but grew to 200–300 within 20 generations."

New #research: Can we trace development stages and ecology of a #permafrost thaw lake throughout the Holocene? Using an innovative combination of sedimentary proxies (ancient #DNA, #diatoms, #XRF), @Iza_bai et al. show: Yes, we can!

Long-term evolution of Central #Yakutia's vital #alaas #thermokarst lakes is traced throughout past millennia. This may help understand future pathways of culturally important lake systems!
