A major added bonus for Russia is that this route will open up it's main rivers to inland navigation. Most of it's rivers flow North, towards the largely inaccessible Arctic Ocean. Throughout most of Russia's history this meant a big competitive disadvantage compared to the rest of Europe, which is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, bringing direct shipping routes from major cities to the whole world.

A great geopolitical advantage is that no other foreign power can control this shipping route just like they can along the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean. Not only its a game changer for Russia but also a lifeline for China as well.

Ironically that means that the transport industry will become greener as ships only need to travel a fraction of the distance they do today.

США: - Это плохо для демократии!!!.
Россия: - Почему?
США: - Потому что наши авианосцы не предназначены для "защиты демократии" в Арктике.

It completely blows my mind seeing this level of development. I am shocked at what humans are capable of doing.

The most impressive thing Russia has been building for the past ten years is the constant renovation and investment into countless cities. That includes transformation of Moscow. New Metro lines and rail lines, new parks and new housing. Every city across the country has enjoyed renewal and construction continues to refresh the nation. Do a video on New Moscow district.

Развитие мирного атома невероятно изменило судьбу России. Теперь можно использовать мощные суда в Арктике, обеспечивать города энергией и прочее. Исследования России в этой сфере просто поражают.

America: builds military bases everywhere.
Russia: Builds ports in their own waters.
America: Hey thats illegal.

I’ve come to realize that the B1M is very adept at combining numerous topic points to advance the flow of a video while staying true to the original subject. You guys do it well, this is another great example! Well done, I enjoyed watching this

companies can no longer be afraid for their ships and not hire guards against pirates, which makes this path even more profitable

I just want to take a moment to praise the amazing choice of visual footage by B1M, while explaining all these interesting topics. It's some of the best visual choice and editing that I have seen on YouTube and definitely comparable to the top legacy media's documentaries.

The melting of ice in the north pole will give Russia such a strategic advantage that it has never seen before, and this modern-day Russian silk road is just the beginning. Especially since almost none of Russia's major cities are on the coast, compared to the huge western cities that will get absolutely destroyed by rising sea levels. Russia would most likely be the only country to benefit from all the ice in the world melting. Due to many things such as the northern regions of the world becoming the more ideal temperature for life, which Russia controls most of. This will bring so many migrants into Russia that it could finally become a global superpower.

Many will say Russia will not benefit due to the war, but that's far from the truth. Pretty much every emerging economy is located in Africa, with these countries typically wanting to cut ties with their colonizers (the west). As soon to be the strongest country in the world, China depends heavily on Russia, so Russia is in the best position for the future of humanity.

Another interesting aspect in the development of the Russian north is floating nuclear power plants. Due to the remoteness of the northern coast from the most populated and industrially developed areas, there are certain problems with electricity supply. And one of the solutions is floating nuclear power plants, which make it possible to deliver a nuclear reactor to a remote place across the sea and supply electricity to tens of thousands of people. One such reactor is already operating in the northernmost city of Russia - in Pevek.

On hearing British accent, I thought this video was another piece of BBC-like anti-Russian propaganda, but it is actually quite objective and neutral. Good job.

People who will say that this will be a dead project because no one will use oil in 20 years let me tell you oil is not just needed for vehicles and electricity it is a crucial material in production of many goods so this project will be nothing but a boon to Russia

This was always a long term goal for Russia, (and other far north countries) the elusive Northwest Passage - largely ice packed and difficult to pass through even in Summer. While I didn't know this breakthrough had finally occurred, I was aware that it was only a matter of time.

I was always fascinated with Russian and Soviet exploration of the Arctic, it seemed just being a passion for adventure, but now suspect they knew about the warming centuries ago!!!
