Bridge in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia

SM Pilyasov

«People who go to the North, to the Arctic with a glint in their eyes, with the energy of youth, with optimism, with a culture of optimism, they are certainly more successful than their peers who stay. Because career opportunities in the North, in the Arctic, are many times greater. This was the case in Soviet times, and it remains the case today».

Robert Moiseev Medal

Walter Hickel

Robert Moiseev Medal "For Contribution to the Development of Science in the Far East" was established by the Northern Forum international organization in accordance with Resolution No. 261. This award honors the memory of the distinguished scientist and Honorary Citizen of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Robert Savelievich Moiseev (1937–2007), and serves to recognize excellence in scientific research and education in the North.

Robert Moiseev was a prominent expert in regional economics, demography, and the ecology of the Far North. His scientific work on economic management and sustainable environmental studies became a cornerstone for the development of many northern territories. He made a significant contribution to strengthening scientific cooperation within the Northern Forum, striving to integrate expert knowledge into regional governance. The tradition of awarding this medal every two years at the "Moiseev Readings" All-Russian Conference highlights the lasting impact of his legacy on the Russian Far East and the Arctic.
