Spanning nine time zones, the Russian Arctic was mostly unexplored before the twentieth century. Paul Josephson describes the massive effort under Stalin to assimilate the Arctic into the Soviet empire—effects still being felt today, as Putin redoubles efforts to secure the Arctic, which he sees as key to Russia’s economic and military status.
