Recently, the problem of tourism development in the Russian Arctic has been raised more and more often. The region is attractive for a variety of tours and excursions, including sea cruises along the Arctic coast of the Barents and White seas, fishing in the open sea, scuba–and ice diving, as well as various excursions to bird colonies. The authors propose to expand the theme of tours and to immerse tourists in the era of the USSR using the objects of socio-cultural and industrial life, preserved in the small town of Pyramid (Pyramiden), Svalbard.
