In the context of globalization and swift economic development of China, the
Russian frontier territories of Baikal borderland should have a special strategy of social
and economic development. The geographical position on the border with China and
Mongolia should become one of the main factors of social and economic development for
Zabaikalye. However, at present, cross-border socio-economic asymmetry is favourable
for the territories adjacent to Russia. The concept of solving socio-economic as well
as ecological problems, which underlie borderland asymmetry, should be expressed in
the development of the image of the Baikal as a world and national treasure. The state
authorities, local government, business and the public should contribute to obtaining
competitive advantages and additional support for the territory due to the protection of
Lake Baikal. The formation of Baikal ideology should be expressed in connection with the
welfare of each individual member of society and the welfare of Lake Baikal.
