Tato bakalářská práce se soustředí na ruské národní zájmy v Severním ledovém oceánu. Cílem je zjistit hlavní ruské motivace v Arktidě a způsoby, jakými chce svých cílů dosáhnout.
V nejbližší budoucnosti Rusko plánuje rozšíření exkluzivní ekonomické zóny svého kontinentálního šelfu v právním rámci UNCLOS. Dále Rusko posiluje svou vojenskou přítomnost v oblasti, v zájmu zajištění bezpečnosti, demonstrace síly a zabezpečení svých zájmů. Také klade důraz na strategický význam Severní mořské cesty, kterou považuje za své území. Oproti tomu rybolovný potenciál v regionu v současnosti nehraje významnou roli, to se však v budoucnu může změnit.
