Abstract
The article analyzes topical issues of the state regulation of subsurface use of the Arctic and continental shelf of Russia. The role and value of development of oil and gas reserves of the Arctic as the most important strategic region of development of national economy are proved. The need of tough upholding of the Russian Arctic interests for the UN and other international organizations is revealed. The anti-sanctions policy of import substitution in relation to the foreign oil and gas equipment and technologies of extraction of hydrocarbon raw materials in extreme conditions, to construction of the drilling fleet, etc. from positions of national energy sustainability is grounded. The importance of studying the best practices of the subarctic states is noted.
