The Russian Far East is obviously a huge 'treasure house', why can't it develop?

> > Can you believe it? There are even desolate places in Russia that cannot be developed, and no one is willing to go even if the land is given for free, but the Far East is obviously a treasure trove, why can't it develop? >

As the country with the largest land area in the world, Russia's total area has reached 17 million square kilometers, but the total population is only 145 million. The population density per square kilometer is about 8.9 people, which is very typical compared with China's 148 people. The land is vast and sparsely populated. Speaking of desolation, Russia's Far East is "deserving of its name". It is understood that the total area of ​​the Far East is about 6.21 million square kilometers, but the total population is only 6.29 million. That is to say, the population density per square kilometer is only one person, and you may not be able to meet one person after driving for a day. It can be seen that The desolation was far worse than we thought.

In fact, Russia has always attached great importance to population issues, especially in the Far East, where the total resources account for more than half of the entire Russia. Given a lot of economic subsidies, many people would rather give up all of this than develop in the Far East, so that the Far East is still in a backward state because of its vast land and resources. Why is this? Let's look down.

Can you imagine it? The huge and desolate Far East region has not developed even with the massive government investment and support. What are the unknown reasons behind it? First of all, the population of the Far East accounts for only 1/23 of the total population of Russia. It is not enough to rely on the efforts of the local people. In addition, it is located in the plateau mountains and the climate is very cold. The industry is very difficult.

Secondly, the Russians do not have a high degree of recognition of the Far East, and would rather die in Europe than develop in the Far East. It is understood that the European part of Russia covers an area of ​​about 4 million square kilometers, but the population has reached 110 million. It can be seen how dense the population is. Therefore, most people think that if they give up everything in their hands, it will be difficult and challenging to develop into the unknown Far East. It is estimated that there is absolutely no need to take risks.

Thirdly, the population in the Far East is sparse, and the inconvenience of transportation is a big obstacle. In particular, the order is relatively chaotic and there is a shortage of funds. These are important factors for the development of the Far East. The most important point is that the current situation in Russia is not optimistic. If you continue to invest a lot of energy and funds in the development of the Far East, it is very likely that you will be in vain. However, the development value of the Far East is beyond everyone's imagination. It seems to be a "treasure house". If developed, it will become Russia's greatest help.

I remember Putin once said that no inch of Russia's territory is redundant, and he has vowed to "look east" before. It can be seen that the development of the Far East has always been the focus of the country. Which treasures will the country spare no effort to develop? Let's look down.

The Russian Far East is obviously a "treasure house", but why can't the government invest a lot of money to develop it? You may not believe it if you say it. Although the Far East is very desolate and backward, there are many treasures here. The coal mines, water resources and timber in Russia are basically from the Far East.

Moreover, according to incomplete statistics, the diamond reserves in the Far East account for 81% of the Asia-Pacific region, gold reserves account for 32%, natural gas and oil account for 27% and 17% respectively. In this way, it is also very important to describe the Far East as a "treasure house". Appropriate. In particular, no matter whether any energy source is developed, it also has a good role in promoting the development of Russia's economy and other fields. It is no wonder that the development of the Far East is the government's top priority. It's a pity and regret that such a huge "treasure house" has not been developed even after spending a lot of money and manpower.

But considering Russia's current stretched economic situation, it is unrealistic to develop the Far East in a short period of time. Rather than pinning hopes on unknown things, it is better to accumulate energy to change the status quo. However, judging from Russia's national strength, the development of the Far East is also imperative, and I look forward to the growing prosperity of the Far East. What do you think of this?
