History

The archipelago complex plans were designed by Erick van Egeraat. The island would have been built in the shape of Russia. It would have contained residences, hotels, cultural, leisure and recreational facilities. The $6.2 billion project was announced at the International Investment Forum 2007 and was approved by president Vladimir Putin. The project would have been developed by M-Industries of St. Petersburg in co-operation with Dutch engineering companies Witteveen & Bos and Van Oord.[1]

The project was frozen in 2012.[2]

L'Île de la Fédération (en russe : Остров Федерация, Ostrov federatsiia) est un projet d'archipel d'îles artificielles représentant la Fédération de Russie en mer Noire. Le projet devait être achevé initialement en 2014, pour l'ouverture des Jeux olympiques d'hiver de Sotchi, mais il est repoussé aux années 2020. À l'image du projet de Dubaï, The World, qui représente un planisphère formé de multiples îles proches du rivage, le projet russe vise une clientèle très aisée et propose des hôtels, des résidences et des installations récréatives et culturelles[1].
