The authors emphasize that the system of strategic planning in Russia, which began to be updated in 2009-2014, has a number of methodological problems, which does not allow for the effective implementation of legislatively fixed basic principles (tradition of power and continuity), and makes it impossible to phrase a vertical goal setting in the strategic planning system thus violating the principle of decomposition of goals and objectives, and does not allow to achieve a balance in terms of validity of program and strategic documents. The article emphasizes that the principles of systematization of the whole complex of strategic planning documents need to be detailed. It is necessary to define more clearly their hierarchical structure, to develop a typology of these documents, depending on the purpose, the characteristics of vertical and horizontal relationships. The authors conclude that the basic system forming document of the goal-setting should be the “National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation”, which defines Russia’s national interests and strategic priorities taking into account the challenges and threats to national security. All other strategic goal-setting documents of a long-term nature should be formed as tools for the implementation of the provisions of this basic strategy; their task is to clarify and detail the directions for ensuring strategic national priorities in relevant areas. It is substantiated that in the hierarchy of strategic planning documents, when developing the “Guidelines for the Government of the Russian Federation”, the provisions of the medium-term forecast of the social and economic development of the Russian Federation, as well as the Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation that legally formulate the Addresses of the President of the Russian Federation should be taken into account. The main areas of activity of the Government of the Russian Federation are a reference point for the development of plans for the activities of federal executive bodies where the provisions of laws mention the development priorities of economic sectors from industry strategies. It is medium-term forecasts, according to the authors, that are the tool for the transition from the goal-setting to planning and programming.

In the framework of improving the methodological approach to state strategic planning, the study of the contingency of legal acts forming the system of strategic planning documents of the Russian Federation is of particular importance. The solution of complex problems that provide fundamental long-term interconnections of the issues of national security, territorial integrity and socio-economic development of the country on the basis of a strategic planning document system that is balanced by priorities and indicators affects the ability of the state to achieve its national development goals with limited resources. Ensuring meaningful coherence of the provisions of regulatory acts that form the system of strategic planning documents is an important management task, the solution of which should be based on bringing the strategic planning activities of all its participants to a single methodological basis. The aim of the study is to analyze and assess the status of substantive contingency of the provisions of regulatory legal acts regulating the requirements for the content, development and adjustment of the Strategy for scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation as part of the goal-setting process of the national strategic planning system. The methodology of work is based on a number of general scientific and special research methods: analysis, comparison, generalization, interpretation and qualitative analysis of documents. The conclusions are made that: the existing legal and methodological support does not actually allow to really improve the quality of strategic planning within the framework of goal-setting at the federal level in the field of scientific and technological development; the identified gaps in the strategic planning system require adjustments to the existing legal framework in terms of concretization of the provisions, in accordance with which the fundamental relationship and interdependence of regulatory legal acts should be ensured, as well as the concretization of existing relationships and coordination of the periods of development and timing of the adjustment of strategic planning documents in the field of scientific and technological development. The results of the expert developments obtained make it possible to clarify the gaps in the system of strategic planning documents in the field of scientific and technological development and substantiate the directions for its improvement and solving the identified problems and shortcomings.

Today, some elements and blocks of the strategic planning system, which is being formed, have been developed and are functioning. However, these elements still cannot respond to the system and balance requirements which are written into the Federal Law no. 172 «On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation» (2014). The system of strategic planning in general (as an important element of the system of government regulation) which is being created has system lacunas and in particular they are: inconformity of the main structural blocks of basic federal documents, inconformity in the approaches to strategic planning and project management, disregard of national security issues in documents of strategic planning and some others which allow to provide fully both the balanced character of goals and targets of government development and resources for achieving them. The article substantiates that project activity has not been constructed into the process of strategic planning so far and project activity documents do not take into account systemic strategic documents. Long term goal setting in project activity in part of developing the country and providing its national security has not been developed so far. The authors emphasize the necessity of constructing a new hierarchy of strategic documents determining goal setting and tools for achieving indices of the development of the Russian Federation in sectoral and regional aspects and a transparent budgeting process directed to implementing the general goal of social and economic development of the country and providing its security. The researchers come to the conclusion that providing a balanced character and coordination of strategic planning documents in Russia is one of priority tasks. The authors emphasize that in the process of modernizing the system of strategic planning it is necessary to pay special attention not specifically to the succession of various types of documents but also to providing correlation (consistency) of the main structural blocks, forecasted and target indicators.

The modern stage of the civilizational development of Russian statehood is characterized by the search for optimal and most effective management models. The article notes that, in the current difficult socio-economic conditions, it is the program-target planning method that is the most flexible tool, including in conditions of budgetary constraints. The normative and legal analysis of the documents showed that the evolution of target programs is the result of administrative and budgetary reforms implemented in the territory of the Russian Federation in a specific historical retrospective. The article emphasizes that to date, to ensure the synchronous development of the entire territory of the country, a single system of strategic goals and objectives has been formed. At the same time, a new approach to strategic development required the development of appropriate mechanisms for organizing project activities of the Government of the Russian Federation. That is why the national projects developed in accordance with the May 2018 Decree of the President of the Russian Federation occupy a special place in the country's strategic planning system and are the subject of close attention of public authorities. The analysis made it possible to systematize the problems and reveal the systemic contradictions of a legal and institutional nature that exist between state programs and national projects, which do not allow public authorities to effectively fulfill the targets set out in strategic planning documents. In conclusion, the authors conclude that it is necessary to legislatively consolidate the role and place of national projects in the general system of strategic planning, since at present the concept of a «national project» is absent in the federal law of the Russian Federation «On strategic planning in the Russian Federation».

Various forms of Rosstat's participation in the development of the strategic planning system are shown and the forms of its possible participation as it develops are suggested. Situations that arise in the process of developing strategic planning documents at various levels are identified and described, the negative consequences of which cannot be overcome without improving the methodology and methodology of statistics and the development of information technologies. The influence of state programs on the development of statistical observation methodology, as well as on the conceptual aspects and development of classification and coding systems is shown. Some of the proposals for the development of methodological support for statistics may be very timely for the purposes of information support for strategic planning, given the requirements put forward by the government of the Russian Federation for the integration of strategic planning documents at various levels.

Purpose: of the article is to prepare evidence-based proposals for the formation of document architecture, strategic planning, fundamental for modern needs and ensuring the integrity of the strategy for all levels of government and business, as well as to ensure the implementation of the principles of unity, integrity, continuity, continuity and delineation of powers in organizing and system functioning, strategic planning as part of a single management cycle. In the framework of the task of creating the architecture of documents, strategic planning also solves the important task of linking issues of socioeconomic development and ensuring national security, and as a result – improving the efficiency of public administration, ensuring coherence and coordination of the country's strategic priorities. Methods: the main method of work is the disclosure of the principles of strategic planning. The architecture of strategic planning documents under development is based on the disclosure of regulatory acts of the Federal Law dated 28.06.2014 N 172-FZ “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation”. Results: the absence of normatively fixed principles and a system for ensuring strategic planning, as well as the procedure for implementing strategic planning, leads to inconsistency of the approved strategies and forecasting, the development of new documents and studies in the Federal Law “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation” and other violations of the systematic approach. In this regard, it is necessary to determine the architecture of the system of strategic planning documents developed as part of the target definition, forecasting, planning and programming.Conclusions and Relevance: the architecture of strategic planning documents proposed in the article is based on the creation of a three-level document system with a central place in it the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation as the main document of strategic goalsetting. In accordance with Federal Law N 172-FZ, the level of forecasting, target definition, planning and programming allows you to add a conceptual level that ensures the quality of the overall ideological superstructure, which should provide an idea of what kind of character for the state and its position in the world the strategic planning system should provide. Taking into account the task of minimizing amendments and clarifications to the Federal Law “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation”, the proposed changes are more in the nature of clarifying the provisions of this law. The architecture of the documents built in this way will allow implementing and, if necessary, further detailing the principles of strategic planning defined by law 172-FZ and, above all, the principles of continuity, balance of the strategic planning system.

The assessment of strategic planning documents at various levels of the system of state and municipal governance should allow not only to track the degree of achievement of planned results and the type of development of allocated resources but also to contribute to a fuller and completer understanding of the essence of processes and changes in the social and economic system of the territory (country, region, municipality). The methodological approach to the development of the system of indicators of government programs of a Russian region in relation with the indices from strategic documents of federal and regional levels is suggested. It is proved that the methodology of development of target indices of strategic papers of a region of the Russian Federation must be founded on a continuous system of coefficients and indices of strategic papers of various governance levels for the increase of assessment efficiency and obtaining the possibility of using the results for the assessment of their impact on the achievement of the goals set. Based on the analysis of the content of the federal legal documents (Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation of September 16, 2016 No. 582 and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 2, 2010 No. 588), the main requirements for the indices (coefficients) for strategic papers of the regional level are specified. The specific measures and practical recommendations on the development of common approaches to the system of indices (coefficients) of government programs of regions of the Russian Federation in relation with indices (coefficients) of federal government programs and the indices (coefficients) developed by other regions are suggested.

The article reviews the legal and regulatory framework for strategic planning at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and identifies problems of the used vocabulary. There is no distinction between the concepts of “strategic priorities”, “priorities of social and economic development”, “priorities of social and economic policy”, “directions of development”. The paper analyzed the content of the strategies of social and economic development of constituent entities of the Russian Federation with a view to existence and sequence of basic concepts of the system of goal setting: “mission”, “strategic priorities”, “goal”, “tasks”, “directions of development” as well as approaches to their essence and content. The main approach to the concept “strategic priority of social and economic development” is to identify it with the goal of social and economic development of the constituent entity (60% of the regions use this concept in the strategy of social and economic development). In addition, most part of constituent entities of the Russian Federation determine the goal of social and economic development as the “main” one, the second most popular is the “strategic” goal. It should be noted that in 6 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, no characteristics are attributed to the goal, and in another 18 regions the overall common goal is not identified. Two basic models of goal setting according to the presence of the mission of constituent entities of the Russian Federation are identified: the inside one (the closed one includes 54 constituent entities of the Russian Federation) and the outside one (the open one includes 31 constituent entities of the Russian Federation). The study offers a detailed classification of the models of goal-setting on the basis of the categories of strategic planning used in the strategies of social and economic development of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The author suggests a logically consistent model of goal setting linked to other strategic planning documents, and the main tools for goal achievement. The practical use of study results is presented in the opportunity of their use by strategic planners of the region during the development of the strategy of its social and economic development.
