The article analyzes the organization of a new mineral resource center in the Arctic, which can be formed on the territory of the regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The creation of the center will have a positive impact on the spatial and socio-economic development of the Arctic territories of Russia and will expand interregional cooperation in the directions “north-south” and “westeast” within the framework of building value chains. The connection between the mineral resource center and the industrial regions of the country will be ensured. However, there are limitations that hinder the establishment of the center. The main constraints include infrastructural (transport, energy, telecommunications and others), personnel (access to skilled labor), intraregional and interregional differences. The most important condition for the implementation of the project is the possibility of obtaining a synergy effect from the placement of projects for the development of mineral resources within the framework of a single infrastructure. This effect can be obtained both for companies participating in the creation of a mineral resource center and for the state (both at the federal and regional levels).

In 1911 Aleksander Stenbock-Fermor, a Russian aristocrat, offered the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, a well-preserved mammoth from Lyakhowskiy Island, New Siberian Isles. This paper presents a hitherto unpublished memorandum that Stenbock-Fermor addressed to Edmond Perrier, the Museum's director, which related the circumstances surrounding the discovery, removal and transportation of the mammoth from Siberia to St Petersburg and thence to Paris. The paper also presents some biographical information on Konstany Wołłossowicz, who explored Siberia and who organized the expedition to Lyakhowskiy Island in order to bring the mammoth to Europe.
