A major added bonus for Russia is that this route will open up it's main rivers to inland navigation. Most of it's rivers flow North, towards the largely inaccessible Arctic Ocean. Throughout most of Russia's history this meant a big competitive disadvantage compared to the rest of Europe, which is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, bringing direct shipping routes from major cities to the whole world.

[@danielduncan6806]

We are definitely turning a new focus to the arctic. Just, we are not focusing on trade, instead we are trying to militarize it. Because we are complete idiots. After all, we are the only country on the face of the planet that is maintaining an offensive military during a time of global peace. Again, we are complete idiots.

The melting of ice in the north pole will give Russia such a strategic advantage that it has never seen before, and this modern-day Russian silk road is just the beginning. Especially since almost none of Russia's major cities are on the coast, compared to the huge western cities that will get absolutely destroyed by rising sea levels. Russia would most likely be the only country to benefit from all the ice in the world melting. Due to many things such as the northern regions of the world becoming the more ideal temperature for life, which Russia controls most of. This will bring so many migrants into Russia that it could finally become a global superpower. Many will say Russia will not benefit due to the war, but that's far from the truth. Pretty much every emerging economy is located in Africa, with these countries typically wanting to cut ties with their colonizers (the west). As soon to be the strongest country in the world, China depends heavily on Russia, so Russia is in the best position for the future of humanity.

Another interesting aspect in the development of the Russian north is floating nuclear power plants. Due to the remoteness of the northern coast from the most populated and industrially developed areas, there are certain problems with electricity supply. And one of the solutions is floating nuclear power plants, which make it possible to deliver a nuclear reactor to a remote place across the sea and supply electricity to tens of thousands of people. One such reactor is already operating in the northernmost city of Russia - in Pevek.

The fact that Russia needs to spend almost a trillion USD over a few decades, and still use the arctic breakers to clear routes indicates that the Northern sea route still is technically a gamble and a large money sink. Because of the geo-politics, US/EU can sanctions any shipping companies using the route, force a reroute and by denying port entrance. That would make any investments on the entire Northern circle by Russia useless. Does the Russian government making money off the Northern route? No. Does the Russian goverment still spending money on the Northern route? Yes Do the Chinese contribute to the development of the route? Not really. What breakthrough you're looking at?

Why you can not get behind this project? The current route is much longer and damages the ecology horribly. The new route, in its full force, will dramatically cut the world's greenhouse emissions (let alone saving time, money, resources of the machinery that is wasted on the longer route).

@Benjamin Lee Russia is not planning any drastic oil production increases. So this huge port will actually decrease greenhouse emissions thanks to cutting the transport route. The existing routes will be used for other cargoes.

@@StrangerHappened But sea route is one of the efficient ways to move things around anyway with the only downside of being slower.

[@stephenskinner3851]

The northern sea route along Russia's coats opens up every summer and has been used by less ice tolerant ships for over 100 years. Ice Breakers have got bigger and better since WW2 as well as other technologies for driving through ice, which will give the impression that Arctic is melting. Also, maximum Arctic ice occurs 3 months after the shortest day and minimum ice occurs 3 months after the longest day, which indicates that the polar ice is driven by temperatures from the lower latitudes.

But western arrogance and entitlement will continue to try to sabotage a collaborative multipolar world. Western governments also need to stop the farce virtue signaling when Russia, for it's size, is only responsible for 5% of total greenhouse gas emission. They're fourth but U.S. is 2nd and worst with 15%, China is first (28%) which U.S. outsource their business and largely benefits from.

Geographic size is rather not a point to greenhouse gas emission rate, population and economic activities are. In the other hand, pipelines and oil and gas exploration infrastructure (and millions of abandoned oil and gas wells) are the greater points of methane emission (far more serious than CO2 emission for greenhouse effect), which Russia has a lot in its overwhelming territory landscape...

Murmansk is a great location to witness aurora borealis but the region is one of the most depressive and poverty stricken in Russia This project might revitalise the area and make a tour there not an extreme one It can become a really awesome tourism destination

[@andy_liga]

as a person that spent years living in Svalbard, i can only say that tourism is the worst thing happening in the Arctic. Yes, it payed my bills for years but the environmental impact of tourism is much much bigger that the tourist itself thinks. Most tourists sees the Arctic as this "free-for-all" land and have absolutely no respect for local laws, wildlife, locals and the environment that they are visiting.

@@stevewhittle7163 tourism is a great reason for conservation tho, government isn't gonna spend money to protect something that gives no benefit to the citizens or the country

[@solosailorsv8065]

And Russia can defend ANY area in the Arctic; many of Belgorod’s (newest submarine) missions are to maintain and defend Russia’s extensive developments and a few crewed bases, on the seafloor around northern arctic circle. Yes, other nations have paper claims to the seafloor, but Russia owns it by virtue of being able to occupy and defend the areas they have claimed. Russia also claims and can defend the northern sea routes being cleared of ice, thanks to warming waters there. Belgorods in those areas equates to ownership.

[@mrdingles5107]

Now many countries like US, Russia and China just need to get their head out of their butts and start focus on helping each other instead of constantly attacking each other. I feel we are at that age in time where there is no need for war and just be happy with what we got and improve what we have.

in all fairness, cutting a shipping route down from 48 to 19 days is actually very good for the environment ... a faster and more modern traderoute should be welcomed by the green people. And if the west is concerned about the influence and economic gains of russia ... just invest in your infrastruture and new technologies, negating the dependency on those asian ressources. Also we profit greatly of those ressources, for every dollar russia gets we generate far more from this. So stop all this russia bashing and whining, such projects will connect economies and we know these dependencies secure peace far better then anything else.

@@jeremyjackson7429 Your analogies are poor. Emissions from global shipping is projected to increase more and more. This route is an obvious positive opportunity for reducing this. Among many other indirect effects like other routes being clogged up less and less shipping by air due to significantly reduced shipping time.

Great video B1M, compared to others, your video tracks the narration pretty much. For China, it provides another route from its ports in the East China Sea and the South China Sea to Europe and beyond bypassing the Malacca Straits. The Russian bear is a polar bear.
