By analyzing the “Strategy for the Spatial Development of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2025" the study aimed to verify the correspondence between the distribution of promising economic specializations by region, the location of promising centers of economic growth, the formation of macro-regions, and the prioritized position of geostrategic territories. To execute that the territory of Russia was divided into two zones. Based on the Strategy content, it was required to prove that the development of the first zone had a priority. The study’s theoretical basis was the concept of economic convergence. Based on a combination of promising specializations, their diversity, macro-regions, and the localization of growth centers four research hypotheses were formulated. A quantitative measure of interregional differences in the combination of promising specializations was proposed, an algorithm for combining neighboring regions into groups was developed, and corresponding calculations were carried out. As a result, all hypotheses were rejected as erroneous and four alternative hypotheses were accepted. The latter ones allowed the conclusion that there was no prioritized development for specific geostrategic regions. Therefore, the state policy of spatial development in the future will not lead to accelerated development of geostrategic territories and to the smoothing of inter-regional differences in Russia.

The author has analyzed the “Strategy for the Spatial Development of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2025” and “Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation and Ensuring National Security for the Period up to 2035”. Nine Arctic territories are considered. The author presents the goals of spatial development of the Russian Arctic Zone in the form of four research hypotheses, such as: each Arctic territory has more promising economic specializations than the average non-Arctic region; by the combination of specializations, the Arctic territories differ significantly from any non-Arctic region; the similarity between the Arctic territories is greater than between the ones and neighboring non-Arctic territories; the number of promising centers of economic growth in each Arctic territory is greater than in the average non-Arctic region. The author proposes a quantitative measure of the similarity of regions according to the combination of economic specializations. Calculations have shown that all initial hypotheses should be rejected as erroneous and alternative hypotheses should be recognized, according to which the goals of spatial development cannot be achieved as a result of the implementation of the activities listed in the two strategies. The researcher gives the distribution of prospective economic specializations in the Arctic territories and the significance of the similarity of these territories to each other. The Arctic Zone is found to be not a single economic macro-region, but is represented by four different clusters. The author notes the need for the formation of promising specializations in the digital economy. The practical significance of the study may be associated with the adjustment of existing or the development of new strategies for the economic development of the Russian Arctic Zone.

Spatial Development Strategy

The purpose of the study is to verify the correspondence between the inclusion of regions in macroregions and the distribution of promising economic specializations by regions. The initial data are taken from the “Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2025”. The theoretical basis of the study was the concept of “economic convergence.” According to the initial hypothesis, the boundaries of macro-regions reflect the distribution of promising specializations by regions in the case of relative convergence of Russian regions into twelve clubs (macro-regions). To test the hypothesis, the idea of contrasting and blurry (fuzzy) boundaries of regions is formulated. A quantitative measure of the difference between the two regions by a combination of promising economic specializations is proposed. To confirm the club convergence hypothesis, it is necessary that the interregional boundaries along the perimeter of macro-regions be contrasted, and within the macro-regions – blurred. Calculations showed that most of the inter-regional borders are blurred, and contrasting borders are more common within macroregions than along their perimeter. Therefore, the initial hypothesis was recognized as erroneous and an alternative hypothesis was adopted when the union of regions into groups according to a combination of promising economic specializations does not correspond to the union of regions into macro-regions. The results can be used to adjust the spatial development strategy. It is proposed to take into account Russias transition to the digital economy and the introduction of artificial intelligence systems in determining promising specializations.

The list of promising centers of economic growth is analyzed according to the “Strategy for the spatial development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025”. The aim of the study was to test the correspondence between the centers of economic growth represented in the strategy and the growth poles of the future digital economy based on artificial intelligence. The theoretical basis of the study was the concept of “growth poles” by F. Perroux with subsequent extensions. To identify the growth poles of the digital economy, the author’s database on telecommunication lines of the Russian Federation and Rosstat data on the population of cities as of January 1, 2019 were used. The author’s algorithm for identifying digital urban agglomerations was used as the research method. It is proposed to identify the leading, driven and potential growth poles of the digital economy. According to the initial hypothesis of the study, all centers of economic growth presented in the strategy are promising, since they fully correspond to the growth poles of the digital economy. An alternative hypothesis of the study was the lack of correspondence between the growth centers in terms of strategy and the identified growth poles of the digital economy. Analysis of the signal delay value in fiber-optic communication lines between 1115 Russian cities made it possible to identify 43 digital urban agglomerations. They represented clusters of cities with ultra-low signal delay from agglomeration centers. These centers were seen as the leading growth poles for Russia’s digital economy. Comparing them with 95 centers of economic growth in terms of strategy made it possible to reject the initial hypothesis as erroneous and accept an alternative hypothesis. This allowed us to come to the conclusion that not all the growth centers listed in the strategy are promising for the development of the digital economy. The driven and potential growth poles of the digital economy are listed. The set of all kinds of growth poles also do not correspond to the set of growth centers by strategy. The ten most problematic centers of economic growth are analyzed. The research results can be used to develop a new strategy for the spatial development of Russia. Seven directions for further research are proposed

Subject. This article examines the set of economic relations and problems emerging within the spatial development of settlements and constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to develop key indicators and methods for assessing transport accessibility, potential market capacity, taking into account socio-economic characteristics, geographical location and the level of connectivity of areas. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of economic, statistical analysis and synthesis, comparison, and the k-means method. Results. The article proposes a system of cost-benefit equations for economic agents, and criteria, and a methodology for assessing the Transport Accessibility Index. Based on the clustering of Russian subjects by k-means, the article describes four groups of regions by level of transport accessibility. Conclusions and Relevance. The practical use of the approach presented to assess the Transport Accessibility Index will help form the basis for management decisions aimed at improving efficiency in the planning of spatial development and assessing the socio-economic effects of the proposed measures. The developed Transport Accessibility Index should be used as part of the analysis and monitoring of the effectiveness of infrastructure expenditures affecting changes in the transport accessibility of settlements within individual regions (municipalities).

Introduction. Currently, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, like many state bodies, is faced with a global challenge – the coronavirus pandemic, which has affected all public processes. The need for social distancing has contributed to the more active use of modern technologies that facilitate remote court hearings. Theoretical basis. Methods. The theoretical basis of the study were the Russian and foreign scientific works devoted to the problems of introducing information technologies into judicial activity. The methodological basis of the study was a systematic approach that made it possible to consider the possibilities of remote justice in its relationship to significant factors of a legal and organisational nature. The study used the methods of logical generalisations, analysis and synthesis, together with a systematic approach and the method of comparative jurisprudence. Results. The article briefly presents the results of a systematic analysis of measures carried out by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation aimed at ensuring the widespread use of remote technologies in the administration of justice. Discussion and Conclusion. Given the current pandemic situation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has introduced integrated related web conferencing and video conferencing technologies for remote court hearings. These technologies began to be actively used by courts during the pandemic period. Their application ensures a reasonable time frame for legal proceedings and makes it possible to ensure the availability of justice even in conditions of social distancing. The undoubted advantage of remote technologies is their potential to reduce procedural costs in the course of legal proceedings. However, the issues under consideration require further research, as well as preparation of conceptual suggestions to the legislator aimed at optimising procedural legislation.
