영문 초록

At the beginning of the article the author is putting the Russian Far East (RFE) development plans into historic context, and demonstrates that current long-term strategic task - to preserve territorial integrity of its Far East - is not new for Russia, and that during XIX, XX and XXI centuries Russian leaders have implemented different socioeconomic and administrative schemes to mobilize population to master that part of the country. He explains why“ pure market”economy does not work effectively in this remote and undeveloped part of the country, and describes first measures undertaken by Russia led by President Putin in the first decade of the XXI century to change the situation. Then the author elaborates on perspective plans of the Russian regional policy. For this purpose he describes the crucial role and results of the APEC summit in Vladivostok in 2012. It became a chance to discuss with the Asia Pacific countries and to define Russian priorities for regional economic integration, such as energy and natural resources supplies, transportation and logistics, tourism, science and education services, nature and ecology preservation, etc. A new theme at the APEC forum has become an idea for the RFE to use its abundant land areas to increase production of food, such as wheat, soy-beans, etc. to make a real input into improving situation with food security in East Asia. Besides, the author suggests that another priority for Russia is to make Vladivostok a more prosperous“ global city”capable to become one of the international cooperation centers in the Asia-Pacific. He is evaluating what should be done to help the city to play this envisioned role, while making a special emphasis on abundant scientific and educational resources of the Far Eastern Federal University. In the final part of the article the author describes steadily improving high level political ties between Russia and ROK, emphasizes that Moscow has strong political and economic interests in the Korean Peninsula, while ROK is also interested in positive development of the RFE and strengthening of political and economic bilateral ties. He is making a special focus on most visible economic projects launched recently by Korean business at the RFE territory, and proposes several more areas for developing successful cooperation for the mutual benefit of Russian and Korean economics.
