“…In 2010, the Russian Ministry of Economic Development started to provide subsidies to regions to support the creation of regional "cluster development centers" and launched two consecutive programs to support "innovation clusters" in 2012 and 2016 (Vasily Abashkin, Boyarov, & Kutsenko, 2012; Bortnik et al, 2015;Islankina, Kutsenko, Rudnik, & Shadrin, 2017). In parallel, the Ministry of Industry and Trade launched its own cluster support program focusing on "industry clusters" to support cooperation projects under the "import substitution" policy introduced by the Federal Government in 2013-2014 to decrease the dependence on the external resources and technologies in Russian businesses (Komkov & Bondareva, 2017).…”

In this article, we explore whether organized clusters can act as institutional entrepreneurs to create conditions favorable to innovation in their constituent members. We view self-aware and organized clusters as “context-embedded meta-organizations” which engage in deliberate decision- and strategy-making. As such, clusters are not only shaped by their environments, as “traditional” cluster approaches suggest but can also act upon these. Their ability to act as “change agents” is crucial in countries with high institutional barriers to innovation, such as most transition economies. Focusing on Russia, we conduct two cluster case studies to analyze the strategies these adopt to alter and shape their institutional environments. We find that clusters have a dual role as institutional entrepreneurs. First, these can act collectively to shape their environments due to the power they wield. Second, they can be mechanisms empowering their constituent actors, fostering their reflexivity and creativity, and allowing them to engage in institutional entrepreneurship. Moreover, both collective and individual cluster actors adopt “bricolage” approaches to institutional entrepreneurship to compensate for the lack of resources or institutional frameworks or avoid the pressures of ineffective institutions.

“…However, gas production growth in the eastern part of the RF has been secured by the Russian government's program of the accelerated import substitution, uneven application of sanctions by the U.S. and the EU, and by strong financial support from China. Starting from 2014 the RF government launched a large scale program of import substitution and substantial support of strategic industries with a special emphasis on financing projects contributing to the creation of new Russian technologies and equipment in oil and gas exploration, processing and transportation (Komkov, Bondareva, 2017).…”

The main purpose of this research is to determine whether Russia being under Western economic sanctions could significantly strengthen its presence in the Asia-Pacific with a pipeline gas and LNG supplies. Based on the study of the Russia’s current and planned gas projects in the eastern part of the country and in the Arctic, that are realized under sanctions’ pressure, the authors concluded that most probably by 2030 Moscow can reach this strategic objective. To resist Western sanctions against the Russian energy industry Moscow launched a program of accelerated import substitution, and as a result they have only partially achieved their goals. Considering Russia’s largest gas exporters, they resorted to different strategies to counter sanctions. The state company Gazprom postponed plans for offshore gas exploration in the Arctic and continues to prioritize gas pipeline projects which reinforce its dependence on China. In contrast, with the help from the RF government and foreign investors, the private company Novatek successfully creates a powerful infrastructure for producing LNG in the Arctic and for delivering it to Europe and the Asia-Pacific.

The study defines the program-targeted and project approach to Russian Arctic strategy management to Arctic complex as a large system of tasks and challenges in the unstable and high-risk environment. Characteristic of current conditions (sanctions), preventing Russia from reaching the economy 4.0 level via national projects of digitalization and import substitution are given as well as Russia’s technological partners, including China. It is proposed to define Arctic zone projects: on the targeting basis - as a set of global, regional and national goals and social tasks, and on the content basis - as a set of consulting, technological and infrastructure solutions. Sources of innovation, Arctic trending forecast, a role of Russia as a producer of exclusive goods from scratch (ice-breakers) have been revealed. Also the 22 flagship technological projects in Russian Arctic of 2019, including AI projects, collected by the authors are analyzed as a big system. The illustration of revolutionary technological leap from automation to artificial intellect level through adaptation of the existing military and civil technologies to Russian Arctic’s needs is given. The study shows how important today is not only to be the Arctic experts but Arctic creators and educators with eco-philosophy, based on global collaboration and responsibility for global ecology. Arctic insurance business is forecasted as a new trend. The levels of project subordination and reasons for Russia’s linking to the long-term technological chains without an international labor division have been identified, including the situations when the dependence on imported technologies have been reduced. The methods of creating conditions for technological breakthrough are proposed, including the non-anchor (non-sanctions) approaches.
