Abstract
From the standpoint of socioeconomic geography, investigations into the challenges of the Russian North involve matching the structural and functional characteristics of its territorial economic systems formed in severe and extreme climatic conditions to their functionality. The territorial economic systems are presented as organizational forms of productive forces to address the main national economic problems whose solution is primarily associated with the modernization of production, social and infrastructure facilities established in the North.
