Putin's plans for the Russian far East

Putin Lays Out Optimistic Plan for Development of Russia’s Far East Sept. 9 (EIRNS)—In his keynote speech to the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Sept. 7, which conference theme was “On the Path to a Multipolar World,” President Vladimir Putin placed emphasis on the development of Russia’s Far East District, laying out several projects.

The fundamental problem is that the Far East land mass is enormous: 6.95 million sq. km, which as a country, would be the seventh largest country by land area. Yet, the challenge is the area’s development, in which a major role is its climate. The northernmost portion of the district is above the Arctic Circle. Even the portion south of the Arctic is more than 65% permafrost. The region has only 8.1 million people, as of 2021.

Russia’s involvement with the development of its Far East dates back to the 17th century.

Putin’s far-reaching approach in the Far East puts forward several policies, which tied into Russia’s national development plan. In his keynote remarks, he outlined some of them.

• The President stated: “The Government has approved a development plan for the Northern Sea Route until 2035 with plans to allocate 1.8 trillion rubles from various sources to implement it. As forecasted, the cargo traffic along this corridor will go from the current 35 million tons per year, to the targeted 220 million tons per year,” a significant sixfold increase. The Northern Sea Route, which courses from Rotterdam through the Kara Sea to the Bering Sea, and then down to Dalian, China, transits for a good portion of its route through the northern tier of the Far East District, creating development possibilities.

• Putin stressed that the government would develop cities, universities, and manufacturing in the Far East, including implementing plans, first raised in 2021, “to develop master plans for the development of the largest Far Eastern cities. These include all administrative centers of the regions, and cities with a population of 50,000, as well as Tynda and Severobaikalsk, the key stations on the Baikal-Amur Mainline railway.”

• Putin spoke of expanding the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baikal-Amur Mainline, which cross the southern portion of the Far East. The Trans-Siberian Railway terminates in the Far East District’s major port city Vladivostok, which exports fish, grain, and coal throughout Southeast and South Asia.

There were several programs of the physical economy which Putin spoke about at some length.

• Housing, in which Putin stressed, “This year, the Far Eastern Quarters program was launched. Under this program, developers will be able to take advantage of priority development areas, including tax and infrastructure benefits, which will reduce the cost of flats and the price of finished housing. This will increase the availability of housing for people. The plan is to build about 2.5 million square meters of housing by 2030 using this cost-reduction mechanism.”

• Expand universities in the Far East, to keep qualified graduates in the region and expand its skilled, educated population, rather than going to university in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and staying there after graduation. The President stated: “Another important area is improving the quality of higher education in the Russian Far East. The goal is to attract qualified instructors, upgrade facilities and equipment in higher education institutions, and provide grants to stimulate academic research and prospective developments in the crucial areas of technological agenda.”

• Expand manufacturing jobs. In order to reverse “a shortage of workers today,” Putin emphasized: “Over 900 modern workshops will be opened in Far Eastern colleges by 2030, and in the near future, until the end of 2025, we will launch 29 production and educational clusters. In addition, businesses will receive compensation for employing young workers.”

Didn’t the Russians set up a bunch of “workshops” in Siberia a long time ago?

Russian State TV was pretty demoralized yesterday, and the news today is even worse.

“Wait until we here from the Defense Minister” was all they could say.

When the Defense Minister gets fired I guess it was because of the stunning Russian victories and they don’t need him any more.

Putin Plan looks like it was written BEFORE Ukraine took back 900 square miles of their land in the last 7 days.

You know what people say about plans.

Those ‘workshops’ were spread out but had to be within a rocks throw of towns and cities. They had to be supplied.

This is a very interesting subject. Vast resources small population. Stalin’s mistake was thinking slave labor was the answer to development. Putin should be planning his own funeral and his successors should go slower. There should be something in it for us but opportunities tend to be missed when dealing with human nature.

Very few people in the West know about BAM, the story of its creation or its significance to Russia.

The big problem is central planning.

Those who do the planning lack local knowledge.

Those who have local knowledge have no incentive to develop. They are not allowed to use their own initiative.

—” LaRouche”

Lyndon? Are you still around?

Enough with the BS, tell us about the 86 Il race!!!

Fairchild and Hart ... that was some good times...

Next time I see your worker and my old pal and Vietnam vet out in the street over by there...

Bald & Bankrupt did a Video on BAM (Baikal-Amur Mainline)

Its a northern route of the trans Siberian Railroad... away from the Chinese border, because every Russian knows China can’t be trusted.

Basically a train through nowhere. People living in these Nowhere vilages are poor with no jobs. People that are poor and live in the middle of nowhere Russian, join the military for money/see the outside world.

When all of their young men come back to their BAM shithole missing limbs or in Bodybags, they get a little antsy.

Ministry of Defense of Russia
In order to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbass, a decision was made to regroup the Russian troops stationed in the Balakleya and Izyum regions to build up efforts in the Donetsk direction.

◽️To this end, within three days, an operation was carried out to curtail and organize the transfer of the Izyum-Balakley group of troops to the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic. During this operation, a number of distraction and demonstration activities were carried out with the designation of the real actions of the troops.

◽️In order to prevent damage to Russian troops, a powerful fire defeat was inflicted on the enemy using aviation, missile troops and artillery.

◽️Over three days, more than two thousand Ukrainian and foreign fighters were destroyed, as well as over a hundred units of armored vehicles and artillery.

—”Mr. LaRouche died several years ago.”

You actually believe that?

Kind of oblivious that Lyndon pops up immediately after the death of the Queen, most Americans recall that the Queen had a contract on him.
What better way to avoid double-naught spys, than to play dead?

Seeing as you know nothing of La Rouche, I will point out that his team of Fairchild and Hart would still be gov and lt gov of Il had not the MSM buried them.
Clearly better managers than the others in the intervening years.
And much more fun!

Woody Harrelson movie
Transsiberian https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800241/

Americans abroad. Roy and Jessie finished a volunteer stint in China. He loves trains, so they go home via the Trans-Siberia Express. There are strains in the relationship, including her past. They meet Carlos, a Spaniard, traveling with Abby, a young American. Carlos keeps close to Jessie, and when Roy is left behind and waits a day for the next train so he can catch up, Jessie and Carlos take a trip into the dead of winter to photograph a ruined church. Carlos may be running drugs, so, later, when Roy catches up and introduces Jessie to his new pal, an English speaking Russian narcotics detective, he’s the last person Jessie wants to see. Will the Siberian desolation be their undoing?

There is a region in South America ripe for immigration and development. Got room for millions. Includes areas of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Read it somewhere. I’d build using old people’s nest eggs as well as local labor from all over the region. Let it be a gateway to the U.S. where the locals can be vetted over time by old folks like me. The Villages South.

Sounds reasonable and about what I'd expect.

The hohos are trapped. If they fall back any further than they have, there will be nothing between the Russians and the Dnieper but open steppe with no place to run or hide. They have to attack and not only does the 3-1 thing work against them but Russians can actualy use Mongol tactics, falling back and luring them into traps and, as if that wasn't bad enough around Kherson, they're now trying this thing up close to the Russian border from which Russian war planes can hammer any vehicles involved to pieces so that it's just hohos in tennis shoes stuck 20 miles into some small salient (i.e. surrounded).

It must be that Russians use words like уничтожать уничтожение for both inanimate things and people but you shouldn't translate it that way... For people you should say "killed"; talking about destroying a person sounds affected as if you were talking about destroying somebody in some spiritual sense or something.

Всего хорошего!!
