Russian Federation, one of the group of rising powers (BRICS countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), has been for several years characterised by fast economic growth and desire to re-establish some of the influence in the international affairs as it used to have during the Soviet times. It seeks to re-establish the status not only by military means, but by diplomatic tools as well, which are at the centre of this research.

The purpose of this research paper is to map and explain Russian non-military strategies on the specific case of the Arctic region. The main questions are, therefore: What is the attitude of Russian Federation towards the Arctic region? What are the factors contributing this attitude?
