This huge country and its different, extreme climatic conditions are impressive and somehow also a little intimidating for a Westerner. Everything has gigantic dimensions. I have one question. I have to go into a lot of detail.

Russia still has centuries of work to do to urbanize and build infrastructure, housing, entire settlements including social facilities, etc. Everything the local people need to live. In addition, I can imagine that even for Russians in the European part of the country, despite certain incentives, there is an inhibition threshold to settle there. And not just in Siberia. Russia's demographic problem also plays a role. Even if Russia makes it much easier for foreigners to migrate, most foreigners would rather settle in the European part of the country. But there are still very high legal barriers to migration.

Energy expansion, what is discussed here in the article and everything else I have already mentioned here is only part of the solution.

How does Russia want to solve the problem "Humans"?
