Abstract: the article proposes to consider the phenomenon of Arctic urbanization as a frontier - a zone where new technologies and institutions are being developed. Parallels are drawn from the classical theory of the American frontier to the prospects for the development of cities in the Russian Arctic as potential centers of innovation - in architecture, life support technologies, the institutional arrangement of communities with a large proportion of migrants, etc. The main approaches are considered andspecifics of modern Russian historiography of the theory of the frontier. Based on the analysis of the works of various researchers, for the first time, directions in the domestic historiography of the problem were identified.

Key words: frontier, Arctic, cities, urban studies, F. Turner, Russian historiography, socio-geographical direction, civilizational direction, alternative direction.
