Contains a brief summary of the Soviet concept of the Arctic and sub-Arctic, and the evolution of that of the far North. Then follows author's account of that part of European and Asiatic U.S.S.R. which lies north of 60 degrees North latitude. The Soviet development of transportation, mining, fisheries, timber, furs and game, and agriculture is traced. Population growth, shifts and present size are analyzed on the basis of 1926, 1939, and 1947 data for areas and populated places. Extensive sources are cited in footnotes. Maps show (1) administrative-territorial divisions with boundary of southern limit of Krayniy Sever (far North), (2) railroad lines, and (3) ethnography (present-day areas of northern native peoples).Téléchargements
