Now, during time of roughly developing contacts to the international community and promptly growing interest of all world to the Russian Arctic regions, development of the uniform and integral doctrine of  her steady development guaranteeing the rights and high quality of environment and, hence, and a standard of living to her population is especially important. We are to be trusted, that our bulletin in process of forces will promote the decision of this problem.
The destiny has disposed so, that the pleasure of release of first number of "Vivid Arctic" is saddened for us with tragedy of loss of ours of the colleague, the friend and the adherent - Alexander Piki.
