Abstract: the article evaluates the main directions of economic and social development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, the possibility of simultaneously combining the goals of developing the natural resources of the Arctic territories with the goals of nature conservation and supporting the traditional crafts of the indigenous peoples of the North. The principles of solving these problems on the basis of state support for indigenous people are shown. The need to preserve the population of these territories is substantiated. A comparison was made of the current practice of state support for indigenous peoples in Russia and in countries close to it in terms of natural and climatic conditions. An assessment is made of the future development of industrial production and traditional crafts in the region. The article is devoted to the problems of ensuring sustainable development of the Arctic territories of Russia. The main issues of economic, social and environmental development of the region are considered. It is concluded that the policy of the Russian Federation is mainly aimed at using the economic potential of the Arctic and, accordingly, attracting investment in the mining industry and infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route. At the same time, it is necessary to develop a scientifically based policy to ensure the social and environmental sustainability of the region.

Key words: socio-economic development, support for the indigenous population of the North, traditional crafts, prospects for the settlement of northern territories, Russian Arctic, Arctic; investments; Northern Sea Route; transport infrastructure; environmental sustainability.
