The question of the delimitation of powers in the sea open spaces adjacent to Alaska between two states (Russia and the USA) remains open and problematic to this day. This work is devoted to the study of more than a century and a half of the history of the Arctic conflict between the two powers in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. The prerequisites and stages of the conclusion of the 1990 agreement on the line of delineation of sea spaces, the legal consequences of the lack of Russian ratification of this treaty, as well as the economic losses incurred by the Russian Federation in connection with the reduction of the economic zone, are examined.
