Железную дорогу до Ханты-Мансийска не будут строить: что теряет Югра

Yugra has officially confirmed that the railway to Khanty-Mansiysk will not be built in the foreseeable future.

Journalists Dmitry Shcheglov and Taras Samborsky discuss why abandoning this railway line appears to be a strategic mistake, how travel between Surgut, Khanty-Mansiysk, and other cities in the district is currently organized, why Yugra still has neither a fully-fledged expressway nor developed regional air service, and what the region's deputies and lobbyists in Moscow should do in this situation.
