Assessment of the reliability of energy supply to regional socio-economic systems of Eastern Siberia and the Far East

The article provides a detailed analysis of the existing transport infrastructure in the East of the country, taking into account the development of export directions. A comprehensive study of two main railways, highways and ports that provide communication in the regions of Eastern Siberia and the Far East was carried out. It is shown that railway communication in the regions under consideration is based on two main railways – the Baikal-Amur and Trans-Siberian Railways. Along with this, the advantages, disadvantages and prospects for the development of the largest railway checkpoints were identified. The prospects for the development of the most significant railway checkpoints were reviewed. Sea ports with enormous prospects were analyzed, and a table was compiled reflecting the cargo turnover of the ports of the Far East. Automobile checkpoints in the regions under consideration were reviewed. A table was generated with a list of road crossings between Russia and Asia-Pacific countries. It was revealed that the transport problems of Eastern Siberia and the Far East include the lack of supply routes to seaports, low road capacity, low road density and their exclusive location in the southern part of the region. It was also shown that there is an annual development and strengthening of the international integration of the eastern regions of Russia with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, while taking into account the national interest of the Russian state. Along with this, the integration of the eastern regions with the unified transport system of Russia is developing by increasing the carrying capacity of the Eastern Range. The number of border road and rail crossings is growing, port capacities are expanding, and the country’s key logistics hub is being formed. Despite this, there are transport problems in the Far Eastern regions of the country: lack of supply railways to seaports, low railway capacity, poor development of transport infrastructure for the development of natural resources. It is concluded that there is a need to develop transport infrastructure in the Far East, which will improve socio-economic indicators in the eastern regions. The development of integration of the railway with sea ports will increase the export of raw materials and products with high added value from the mining and metallurgical, fuel and energy, chemical and agro-industrial complexes. Effective implementation of transit potential will not only make it possible to obtain economic benefits from participation in international transport, but also create new instruments for Russia’s influence on global economic processes.
