First, a bit of background on the Russian Far East. The Far Eastern Federal District is the largest of Russia’s federal districts, accounting for over 40% of the country’s landmass. The region is also home to vast oil, gas, coal, mineral, and timber reserves.
Despite this natural resource wealth, however, the Russian Far East contributes only about 5% to Russia’s GDP and has lower living standard standards than the rest of the country. The region has also suffered from substantial depopulation since collapse of the USSR.
