The diagnosis of the economic security of basic services in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Iakutia)

Discussed is an approach to federal standards of basic services in dispersed Arctic settlements and forms of state aid to them based on indicators of economic security. The analysis has shown that the orientation to the old transport scheme of early delivery and remote suppliers can be very dangerous, while the shift to direct deliveries can considerably improve the provision of Arctic settlements in the Republic of Sakha (Iakutia). Another source of improvement is modernisation of the energy infrastructure in these settlements and development of their own oil and gas sector that will decrease their demand for imported fuel by 30-40%.
