Far East is Russia's Half Life? Why can't Russia give up the Far East?

? Among hundreds of countries in the world, Russia has the largest land area. His predecessor was the Soviet Union. Later, the Soviet Union disintegrated, which led to part of Russia's territory in the Far East. But why is Russia unwilling to give up the Far East?

Russia's Far East is an important part of Russia's Asian part and the largest of Russia's eight federal districts, with an area of 6.95 million square kilometers. Within the Far East, it faces the North Pole in the north, the Pacific Ocean in the east and the United States, Japan and South Korea across the sea, which is an important seaport for Russia to reach the Pacific Ocean. Regional resources are very rich, with coal and water resources reaching one third, forest resources accounting for 30% of Russia, and various mineral resources are also very rich. This location is adjacent to the economically developed Asia-Pacific region, which can be said to have great development prospects. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it Russia's half-life.

Therefore, Russia is unwilling to give up this fertile land and has been developing vigorously. However, the development of the Russian Far East is not ideal, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as decline. Although Russia has always attached great importance to the development of the Far East, it has also set up a special Far East Development Department and a deputy prime minister in charge of Far East affairs in the cabinet. The main factor restricting the development of the Far East is the serious outflow of population. In the vast Far East, the nine federal entities add up to only 8 million people. In order to develop the Far East, the Russian government even encouraged immigrants, and even introduced a "one hectare land policy" to provide free land to residents who immigrated to the Far East. However, there is still no way to stop the loss of population.

Russia is now in a dilemma. It regards this place as a chicken rib. You can't abandon it, and you can't use it. ?
