Abstract
Return of Russia to the Arctic has succeed. Further, it will be possible to argue on quality of this return, reversibility or irreversibility of this process. It is important that this result is recognized as the international community. It is achievement and a serious call for the Russian state in general. Our achievements and our defeats have external reaction, however, surprisingly similar — increase of the anti-Russian activity in all directions. Considering the status of our country, it is almost inevitable. A question what from this follows? Any mistake in management decisions leads to the accruing external influence. Sanctions tools are complemented with military threats fight for ecology is guided by bringing to the Russian energy sector of direct and indirect loss. In these conditions, effective interdepartmental interaction in carrying out the Arctic policy is necessary.
