This article examines the transformation of strategic documents for the development of the Russian Arctic, focusing on their value and functional content. Ensuring balance, continuity, and comprehensiveness in the regulatory influence of Arctic macroregional strategic management is particularly relevant amid the ongoing transformation of institutional foundations. The primary aim of this study is to identify the specific nature of these transformations and assess the continuity of their core principles. The research analyzes the value and functional content of strategic development documents for the Russian Arctic Zone, using official strategic planning documents as its information base. The study employs semantic and content analysis methods, utilizing the analytical capabilities of the Discant (Vega) system, the SemSin parser, and the Stalker utility. To assess discrepancies in semantic content, the Bray-Curtis index is applied. A detailed comparative analysis is conducted on strategic and policy documents from the first (2008-2014) and second (2020-2021) waves of Arctic policy formulation. The study identifies primary and secondary transformations in the value-semantic and functional content of these documents, as well as aspects of their continuity in the broader framework of socio-economic development. A key feature of the transformations is the expansion of specific policy measures in priority areas, including "ensuring security," "government support for economic entities," and "attracting investments." Notably, there is a growing emphasis on "security" in both military and public contexts, reflected in both value frameworks and policy measures. However, in certain areas, discrepancies emerge between the evolution of value orientations and the dynamics of policy implementation. The scientific contribution of this study lies in its depth of analysis and the quality of its examination of the value-semantic dimension within the transformation of Arctic strategic documents. Its practical significance is evident in the improved analytical capabilities it provides for refining policy and strategic documents, ensuring a more comprehensive and systematic approach to regulatory interventions. Future research will focus on assessing the internal and dynamic consistency of strategic documents in terms of their goals, measures, and anticipated outcomes.

Введение Развитие Арктической зоны Российской Федерации (АЗРФ) является одним из безусловных приоритетов государственной политики в последнее десятилетие. Об этом говорит существенная активизация разработки стратегических и программных документов развития арктического макрорегиона, наблюдаемая с 2008 г. За прошедшее время можно выделить две основных волны их принятия: 2008-2014 гг. и 2020-2021 гг. При этом длительность первой волны характеризуется определенным временным лагом между принятием рамочных Основ государственной политики Российской Федерации в Арктике на период до 2020 г. и дальнейшую перспективу и другими документами. По общепринятым в рамках государственного управления практикам, стратегические документы определяют общие направления, приоритеты и цели развития, а также механизмы их достижения, сроки реализации мероприятий и критерии оценки результативности при долгосрочном горизонте планирования (6-15 лет)1 [1]. Достаточно длительный срок их реализации позволяет осуществить 1 О стратегическом планировании в Российской Федерации № 172-ФЗ.
