Where the eternal ice keeps Russia’s memory, its tomorrow is taking shape.
The Arctic is the land of ancient icy fields and long polar nights. For centuries, it has drawn in pioneers and brave adventurers, tested the northern peoples, and become the stage for scientific breakthroughs, geopolitical rivalry, and the struggle for the riches of the subsoil.
From indigenous residents and legends of sea expeditions to expeditions of our day, ecological trials, and—along with them—the country’s national security—this audiobook reveals the Arctic as a harsh, unique, and strategically key region.
An audiobook for those who want to make sense of the past, present, and future of the Russian North and understand why the Arctic choice largely determines the path of the entire country.
