If the general purpose of all work is to study problems of development and implementation of strategic programs of STD in regions of the Russian Federation with different level of modernization, at the first stage the question of organization of work in regions with external, infocommunicative side was raised, and at the second stage from subjective position, on the basis of assessment of the situation from the social and organizational side. Hence the similarities and differences in methodology, methods and outcomes at each stage. Each of them is of interest in assessing the work in this direction, but the comparison of the data obtained is of particular importance. If the first phase involved work to inform the public and potential participants about the forthcoming work on the STD and, Accordingly, on the readiness of the authorities and management to implement it on the materials of remote analysis of official sites of the regions, The second phase focused on finding out: How it is perceived by specialists in terms of creating a favourable social and organizational environment in the regions for the implementation of the adopted strategies.Purpose: obtaining an assessment of the readiness of regional authorities to create favorable social and organizational conditions for successful activities according to certain criteria and elements of innovative and technological systems.Methods: the methodology of the study takes into account the logic and content of the elements of the first stage of the program, but it is markedly different from them. General is the setting of the problem, the presence of related elements of the program (problem, object, subject, hypotheses, goal and tasks, nevertheless there is a difference in methods and procedures), in terms of using empirical scales and interpreting the results. However, if at the first stage the main method was remote (in this sense anonymous) scanning and analysis of data from official sites of authorities and administrations in the selected regions according to the criterion of the level of their sociocultural modernization, at the second stage the main method was personal remote interviews of qualified specialists about the real situation and potential to solve the outstanding issues in the social and organizational plan.Results: the tasks set by the Decrees will be difficult to solve positively without the organization of systematic sociological support for the implementation of the innovation policy of the SSTD of the Russian Federation in the regions as a link of feedback and corresponding organizational outputs on the materials of such studies.Conclusions and Relevance: at the first stage we concluded that the implementation of the Strategic Documents on the Implementation of Innovation Policy of the SSTD of the Russian Federation requires taking into account the state of affairs in regions with different levels of sociocultural modernization and proved this situation on the materials of remote analysis of official sites of their management and the allocation of various barriers as a subject of research and practice. At the second stage, we have shown that the problem is not only the differences between regions and barriers, but also the ability of authorities and administrations to adequately assess their contribution to the process of modernization of the country, and to overcome barriers by creating a favorable social and organizational environment. Today in the surveyed regions the orientation not on the case, as experts note, but on "good reporting".
