Abstract
In the history of the Tyumen region, which turns 80 this year, there are anumber of unrealized projects. These include the construction of a TranspolarRailway. The purpose of this article is to consider what the initial, first of threevariants of the road, called the " Transpolar Railway", represented. The source baseof the problem is very scarce, due to the secrecy of documents during the construction period, and most likely, the remaining secrecy stamps for a significantpart of the documents to this day. The article uses general scientific methods ofanalysis, synthesis, generalization, hypotheses, analogies, as well as historicalresearch methods, among them — the historical-genetic method aimed at identifyingthe origin of the process under study, its causes; the historical-diachronic methodassociated with the study of the dynamics of the process within a more complexsystem, as well as the historical-comparative method. The main conclusion of theauthors is that in the conditions of the aggravation of the military confrontation inthe Arctic in 1943–1944 the issue of building a road from Vorkuta to Salekhard, and then with its continuation, at least to the Purovsky district, where theNakhodka Bay was located, was put on the agenda. The project met militarystrategic goals, and also provided for the provision of fuel for both the territory of YANND and military facilities in the bays of the Kara Sea. The removal of theproject from the agenda in 1944 was explained by the establishment of Arctic security as a result of operations conducted by Soviet troops.
