Введение. Рассматриваются стратегии гражданского присутствия России на Шпицбергене с акцентом на туризм и научное сотрудничество как ключевые инструменты мягкой силы и геополитического позиционирования.Цель. Оценить значимость туризма и научного сотрудничества для гражданского присутствия России на Шпицбергене.Материалы и методы. Опираясь на программные документы, официальные заявления и недавние события качественный анализ документов сочетается с подходом тематического исследования.Результаты. Проанализировано как Россия стремится сохранить и реконфигурировать свое присутствие на архипелаге в условиях экономических ограничений и норвежской политики.Заключение. Туризм становится центральной опорой гражданского присутствия России на архипелаге, в то время как научное взаимодействие со странами БРИКС и другими партнерами, скорее всего, развернется в других регионах российской Арктики.

Introduction. Strategies for Russia’s civilian presence in Svalbard are considered, with a focus on tourism and scientific cooperation as key instruments of soft power and geopolitical positioning.Aim. Assess the significance of tourism and scientific cooperation for Russia’s civilian presence on Svalbard.Material and methods. Drawing on policy documents, official statements, and recent developments, a qualitative document analysis is combined with a case study approach.Results. An analysis is provided of how Russia seeks to maintain and reconfigure its presence on the archipelago amidst economic constraints and Norwegian policy.Conclusion. Tourism is becoming the central pillar of Russia’s civilian presence on the archipelago, whereas scientific engagement with BRICS and other partners is more likely to unfold elsewhere in the broader Russian Arctic.
