The key to this route isn't global warming, but modern satellite navigation and space images of ice flows with the support of ice breakers. Those are the key differences from now and the past that allows for such journies to take place.

This is interesting route this will help Russia and it's autonomous Republic of Yamalia both financially and economically, Also what is a good idea will also aid Russia's economy too because this will help Russian reform and in this case the autonomous Republic of Yamalia in general and would give good opportunities for both Novatek and the Nuclear Ice Breaker fleets and could also offer protection along the way for this new route. GPS and other satellite systems could also help if there were an Arctic blizzard or some big icebergs. This is also good because it would mean that dependency for Russian gas will get to the consumer more quickly and be more cost effective so not only will the hard working people of Novatek get a good profit the consumer will get a quicker and more reliable service too. I fully support this new route.

Foe centuries one of the primary Britain's goals was not to allow Russia a gate for southern seas. Now, with this new trade route over north that objective of Great Britain has become outdated over the night. A very good move for Russia, indeed!
