The main strategic task of executive bodies of the Russian Federation is the creation of the institutional foundations for an effective Russian economy. The Russian economic interests in the Arctic are associated with colossal reserves of energy and mineral raw materials. The total cost of reconnoitered and projected resources more than $ 15 trillion. Here one-fifth of oil and near 60% of gas resources are concentrated. Also here the largest deposits of coal, gold, rare metals, a huge number of different biological resources are located. Nature and people are the two main riches of our country. Creation of conditions for preservation and effective use of these resources is the main task of the executive bodies at all levels. At the same time, the region economy effectiveness includes social and environmental security of the territory. This paper reviewed the main environmental and natural factors that are critical, to our mind, for the Arctic development.

1. Permafrost and global warming, low temperatures in winter season plus very short summer are determined the specificity of any production cycle in the Arctic.

2. The remoteness of the territory increases the cost of logistics of any goods and resources, as well as the road infrastructure.

3. Specificity of the energy resources supply of local production and life support facilities.

4. The need for institutional and legal adaptation of human resources, which are attracted to work in the Arctic, to local natural and geographical conditions in connection with the job duties performed.

Our analysis allowed us to formulate a proposal for the formation of a strategy for the Arctic development by creating cluster-type support zones: a symbiosis of the territory of advanced development, a special economic zone, and a priority investment project.

In the article some international organizations theories predictions are examined on the results of Russia’s accession to the WTO. Import indicators have improved after accession: import diversification has grown and import concentration has reduced. There was no influence on export as the first ten export positions of the Russian Federation are raw materials. The payment matrix of a game with nonzero sum has been applied to the analysis of anti-dumping measures in bilateral trade with China, Ukraine and the EU. The strategy «to join the WTO» was shown to be optimal for Russia. The strategy «to admit Russia to the WTO» was optimal for the EU and Ukraine, but not for the China. We don’t confirm the argument that the trade agreement is directed to protectionism restriction as the number of anti-dumping measures in mutual trade of the Russian Federation has grownafter the WTOaccession. The advanced countries, as it was shown, keep a high difference in access of certain goods to the markets. It has a sense to estimate extent of liberalization according to an indicator of import concentration. From this point of view, market access provided by Russia was higher than in the advanced economies since 2005. Countries do can carry out liberalization unilaterally. E.D. Mansfield and E.E. Reinhardt have shown that the country as a member of the regional trade agreement improves its bargaining power. This conclusion in our work has been extended to a case of the country participation in the WTO. It was shown that the trade regime of the Russian Federation hasn’t suffered after 2014. At the same time taking into account the effect of «improvement of a bargaining power», which was revealed in literature for the stage of the regional trade agreement, the EEU is offered to include in its agenda territorial development and transport tariffs matters.

The author’s attempt to express his attitude to the accumulated experience of the sacred struggle against corruption, which is very contradictory in its quality, boils down to the following: instead of solving a concrete, fixed and described problem, it is attempted to reformulate and belittle its danger through sophisticated connotations.
