Siberian source of Russian state

It is impossible to discuss what would be Russia without Siberia. Penetration of Russian Siberia was of great geopolitical significance that the Russian state more and more international fame, increasing its economic and political weight. The idea of a powerful "Siberian rear", creating a large economic potential of the region can be traced to government plans nineteenth and especially the twentieth century, although the macro-industrialization due to its immense space was of focal character: step by step, from west to east implement large-scale socio-economic projects of national value - the Ural-Kuznetsk, Baikal-Amur (BAM), the Kan-Achinsk (KATEK), Bratsk-Ust-Ilim, West Siberian oil and gas. The main trend in the development of Siberia to the entire twentieth century was the decision of national problems associated with the growth of the economic potential of the country, strengthening its military and defense capability. In domestic and foreign historians, many problems of industrialization of Siberia are for discussion, starting with an assessment of its methods, the role of the state and ending with the results of large-scale national projects. More broadly, the call to the history of public research programs Siberia - is both an attempt to understanding polar interpreted ambiguously understood in modern humanitarian discourse of national history of the twentieth century. Scientists seek to learn the lessons of the recent past, to draw attention of the authorities and the public to the need for respect for the historical experience of the Soviet era, to be considered in current practice. Western researchers appreciate the conceptual framework for the implementation of major economic programs of industrial development of the eastern regions, the concept of regional plants and clustering, but note the practical difficulties implementing these ideas. They emphasize that the WPK and have not received a clear legal and economic status, and the problem was particularly acute for the West Siberian oil and gas complex. Not all of the Soviet experience can be claimed in modern Russia, but the relevance of the ideas of integrated development of the productive forces is not in doubt. They are especially important for the Arctic regions.
