	New Prospects for Arms Control in the Arctic?
		The Soviet Arctic is of great strategic importance to Moscow for a variety of reasons, not the least being the fact that 55 per cent of the total land area of the Soviet Union lies north of 60° latitude and that half of the Soviet coastline is on the Arctic Ocean.
		The Barents and Kara seas are the operating areas for the Northern Fleet's ballistic-missile submarines, protected by the ice cover and by the surface naval and air forces based on the Kola.
		Soviet interest in arms control for the Far North was first articulated by Premier Nikolai Bulganin in a 1958 proposal for a zone in northern Europe "free of atomic and hydrogen weapons".

	How Secure is NATO's Northern Cap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Europe's "northern cap" is usually defined as the northern one-third of the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, and Finland), the Soviet Union's Kola Peninsula, and the Svalbard Archipelago in the Barents Sea north of Norway's mainland.
		Its unusual geography, the size and strength of the Soviet military in the area, the Norwegian forces available to counter the threat, the destabilizing political problems of the region, and the ability of NATO to assist northern Norway--all combine to suggest that the situation in the northern cap is a potentially volatile one.
		The Soviets then brought the wives of four of the attendants to live on the island, an action openly defying the established policy of not allowing the wives of the miners to live on the island.

	Russia

		Among the numerous naval facilities based in the Northern Fleet, three facilities are directly involved in the dismantlement of nuclear submarines: the Nerpa Shipyard, Sevmash, and Zvezdochka.[6] In order to comply with the provisions of START I, decommissioned submarines are cut in half to remove their missiles.

	Warsaw Voice - 15 years ago in the Voice: 1989
		Soviet warships are still cruising around the point which is marked on the map by the coordinates 73°44' N and 13°18'E. It is there, about 100 nautical miles off Bear Island, that the wreck of the Soviet Northern Fleet's Mike submarine is lying at a depth of 1,500 meters.
		According to Stockholm's SIPRI, it was the only submarine of that kind in the Soviet Navy.

	Imaging Space Reconnaissance Opprations during the Cold War: Cause, Effect and Legacy
		Reports of vast numbers of Soviet bombers in the early and mid-1950s, for example, helped to win a variety of fighter-interceptors and bombers for the Air Force before the so-called "bomber gap" (followed by the "missile gap") was shown by both U-2 and space reconnaissance to be a myth.
		The U-2 had improved our knowledge of the Soviet Union, but it could not provide area coverage and the answers to the critical questions, and it was increasingly becoming less an intelligence asset than a political liability.
		On the one hand, it drew attention to Soviet military and space capabilities, which was useful for informing the public and increasing appropriations.
