These remote Arctic settlements have no industry and are generally used as terminals for supply of sparse mining enterprises, transportation of their production and personnel (Huskey 2011). The production and infrastructure are bound to diamond, gold and other mineral industries (Fondahl et al. 2014), and labor force is attracted in a shift work arrangement. Rearrangement of the Russian economy resulted in changes of approaches towards its Arctic territories development, notably the eastern regions. In the 1990s, the operating system of delivery of goods to northern territories collapsed resulting from misunderstanding of the role of the Arctic and the prospects of its development in the framework of the country’s economy and the demolition of Barakaeva, Batugina & Gavrilov
