Arctic regions are central to Russian concepts of state military power, resource ownership, and heroic conquest.
Dr. Paul Josephson provides an overview of Russia's economic and military presence in the Arctic in the past 100 years. How has this affected the lives of indigenous peoples? Are there nuclear weapons in the Arctic? And what other nations have explored the Nordic region?
In the Q&A session, we discussed pre-revolutionary Arctic expeditions, ice melting, and how the Chernobyl catastrophe reshaped attitudes toward nuclear power.
