Vladimir Arseniev’s expeditions to Northeast Asia as a government official

Abstract

The work of the famous explorer and traveler Vladimir Arseniev as a representative of state authorities, who did a lot to restore and organize fishing, hunting, as well as sea fur hunting in the Russian Far East, still remains little studied. The author describes the expeditions of Arseniev as a government official to the lower reaches of the Amur, to Kamchatka and the Commander Islands, as well as assesses the resulting recommendations he made, which later formed the basis for organizing and streamlining work in the most important sectors of the economy
of the Soviet Far East in the 1920s.
