The goals and objectives of the formation and implementation of naval policy in the modern history of Russia are reflected in a number of state doctrines, strategies and programs. It is important for their implementation to identify problems, the solution of which will determine the effectiveness of the state’s naval policy in the medium and strategic term.
The study uses general scientific methods of research — analysis and synthesis of information with the inclusion of methods of political analysis.
In Russian political science, the study of issues and problems of naval policy, mainly, in our opinion, taking into account open access publications, has been and continues to be in the plane of several main directions.
Firstly, it is, of course, a problem related to Russia’s national interests in the oceans, doctrinal, programmatic and regulatory aspects of the development of naval policy at the present stage. In particular, these are scientific articles by V.V. Chirkov [19], A. Popov [14], V.V. Kruglov, M.A. Lopatin [11], A.I. Ismailov, A.A. Lobanov, A.N. Popov, V.V. Puchnin [15].
Secondly, it is the activation of the so-called «Arctic research», where the works of: E.V. Bey, M. I., Bezborodova, S.A. Bokeria, E.A. Kerner, D.A. Kuznetsova, V.P. Zhuravel, I.A. Kononovich should be noted [1–3, 6, 9].
K.P. Kurylev, N.P. Parkhitko, M.A. Nikulin [12], A.V. Semenov, S.S. Zhiltsov, I.S. Sonn, A.G. Kostyanoi [17], O.A. Khlopov [18] also devoted their works to the naval policy of Russia in the Arctic.
In the last few years, the Russian Federation has adopted several doctrinal and strategic documents important for maritime policy. The adoption of these documents was not only a logical continuation of previous similar programs of a state nature, but also the transition from 2015 to the rails of strategic planning within the framework of public policy formation with modern tools and mechanisms corresponding to the current state of technology development and methodological support.
