Subject. The article focuses on the articulation of the innovative policy in maintaining the national security of the Russian Federation. Objectives. We evaluate the current situation in the Russian Federation in terms of innovative development and compare it with other countries. The study also determines what impedes the deployment of innovation across regions. Methods. The methodological framework is based on the comparative analysis of innovative development indicators of Russia and countries all around the world. Results. We examined key economic security imperatives of the Russian Federation. The development of innovation is proved to be the only vector that will help Russia remain competitive worldwide. The national economic security is found to mainly depend on the efficiency of innovative activities in the real economy. We provide the comparative description of innovation indicators of China, Germany and the Russian Federation. The article also analyzes changes in the innovative development of the Russian regions, illustrating the case of the Bryansk Oblast. Conclusions and Relevance. China is an undeniable leader by the number of patent applications for inventions, utility models, industrial specimens. As the analysis shows, there is a close and direct relationship in China between resident’s patent applications and GDP. The fact signifies that the economic growth of the country does not draw upon innovation. Notwithstanding efforts, Russia’s Global Innovation Index has remained almost the same for the recent years, with Innovation Output sub-index even falling.

The problem of ensuring the economic security of the state is quite urgent. This study examines theoretical approaches to defining this definition, as well as the structural elements of the concept of economic security. The aim of the study is to identify the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the economic security of the state and the development of strategic directions for ensuring the economic security of the Russian Federation in the face of modern global challenges. The stages for assessing the level of economic security of the state are determined. Based on the existing methods for assessing the economic security of the state, a methodological approach to this assessment is proposed, taking into account the totality of macroindicators, industry, financial and social indicators. The calculation of the indicators of the economic security of the Russian Federation showed that the indicators do not go beyond the threshold values. The results of constructing an econometric model made it possible to determine the indicators of national economic security that have the most significant impact on the level of economic development of the state, as well as to identify internal and external threats to the Russian Federation. Thus, we can conclude that the economic security of the state can be represented as the state of protection of the national economy from external and internal threats, which ensures the progressive development of society, its economic and socio-political stability, despite the presence of unfavorable external and internal factors; ensuring national economic security and neutralizing all possible threats is the fundamental task of the state government. The level of economic development of the country as a whole and the quality of life of its citizens depend on the success and effectiveness of countermeasures.

The article considers some current scientific approaches to assessing regional economic security and notes the lack of an innovative component in them. However, innovative factors are necessary, since one of the main directions in the field of economic security is innovative development. The purpose of the research is to develop and test a modified methodological approach to the formation of indicators for assessing regional economic security, taking into account innovative factors. The authors generated extremely modified approach to assessing the economic security of the region, taking into account such principles as: task orientation, comprehensiveness, comparability, sufficiency, information security, applicability in practice. The authors developed an algorithm for studying the economic security of the region, formed a system for assessing the economic security of the region taking into account innovative factors, and calculated threshold values and evaluated a sample of regions according to the described methodology. As a result, it is concluded that the regions are diverse in terms of economic security and actually correspond to the conditional division in terms of socio-economic and innovative development. The most vulnerable for the majority of the subjects of the Russian Federation considered was the innovation component, the threshold value of which should have been determined in the stability zone, but most of the regions did not pass. Thus, it is necessary to study this topic in detail, namely, to assess the functioning of the regional innovation infrastructure and its impact on the economic security of the region due to the fact that the creation of conditions provided by its activities is one of the main strategic directions for strengthening the economic security not only of the region, but also of the Russian Federation as a whole.

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of the development of innovations on the economic security of the regions. Based on the assumption that innovative development plays a key role in the process of ensuring the economic security of the region, the authors proposed a system of indicators for assessing the innovative component of the economic security of the region, including the indicators of economic security reflected in the Decree «On the Strategy of Economic Security of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030». The impact of innovations is realized through the achievement of the goals of ensuring the country's security, among which is the dynamic and progressive development of the economy. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the innovative component of economic security based on the scoring method, developed an assessment scale for interpreting the results of calculations, assessed the innovative security of regional economic systems of the Federal Districts of Russia for the period 2015–2019. As a result of the analysis, factors were identified that hinder innovative development and negatively affect the provision of economic security at the regional level: underdevelopment, low efficiency of the innovation infrastructure, reduction of internal costs for research and development, a decrease in the number of developed advanced production technologies, and others. It has been established that the economic security of a region depends on its ability to perceive innovations, while institutional factors have a significant impact on the pace of development. The work has improved the methodological tools for diagnosing the innovative security of the regions of the Russian Federation by optimizing the system of criteria for its assessment. The results of the empirical studies carried out confirmed the possibility of practical use of the developed methodology for diagnosing the innovative security of the regions of the Russian Federation and identifying priority areas for its improvement.

This article discusses the current issues of the development of the digital economy. The significant role of information technologies in the development of modern production and services is noted. The development of digital means of economic activity creates new risks that are not yet sufficiently taken into account by modern economic mechanisms. The digitalization of economic activity is the basis for the emergence of new types of economic activity, as well as a fundamental change in traditional ones. The Digital Economy of the Russian Federation program is a set of measures in various fields of activity aimed at stimulating the creation of an information society. According to the" Strategy for the Development of the information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017-2030", a distinctive feature of the information society is the critical level of influence of information on the economic, socio-cultural living conditions of citizens. Such a definition takes into account the possibility of applying certain information in economic activities. Consideration of such changes should be reflected in the Information Security Document, the updating of which is an actual issue of national economic security.

At this stage of development of the world economy, all countries, business and scientific organizations are engaged in the issue of quality monitoring of innovative development of society and the economy, inventing for this various indicators that could most comprehensively assess the level and quality of innovative development of an economic unit. Currently, the global innovation index is used to assess the level of the country's innovative development. The Global Innovation Index (GII) stimulates and supports innovation during this critical period. The Global Innovation Index is a global study and its accompanying ranking of countries in the world in terms of the level of innovation development. This article has reviewed the Global Innovation Index from 2015 to 2020 for the Russian Federation and the first 10 in the rating, based on the 2020 rating. We also analyzed the indicators that make up the main components of the global innovation index in Russia for 2020, and identified the strengths and weaknesses of 7 main components. The author proposes the main directions of development in terms of problem indicators of the global innovation index of the Russian Federation.

The purpose of the is to summarize and present the results of the study of economic prerequisites for the situation when trade between the aggressor (the Russian Federation) and the victim (Ukraine) was not stopped despite the conflict as well as to assess the dynamics of this trade in the context of indicators of national economic security of Ukraine. Methodology. The study is based on the analysis of International Trade Center data on exports and imports of Ukraine and the Russian Federation and mutual commodity flows for 2002-2019. In addition, the Herfindahl-Hirschmann index and the Linda index were calculated to determine the level of concentration of commodity and geographical structure of foreign trade. To assess the impact of the external sector on the level of economic security of Ukraine, indicators regulated by national legislation were evaluated such as economy openness, export coverage ratio of imports, times; share of the leading partner country in total exports of goods, share of the leading partner country in total imports of goods, share of the leading commodity (commodity group) in the total volume of goods exports, share of leading goods (commodity group) excluding energy imports in total imports of goods, share of raw materials and low degree of industrial export processing in total exports of goods, share of imports in domestic consumption, terms of trade index (price). Results of the survey showed that The Russian Federation was the largest trading partner, and remains a significant participant in Ukraine’s foreign trade operations today. At the same time the objective process of reducing the importance of the Russian Federation in the export-import trade of Ukraine had begun long before 2014. Despite the fact that the level of danger in the foreign sphere has decreased to a certain extent, such an improvement occurs against the backdrop of the impossibility of completely terminating trade and other economic relations with the Russian Federation. Practical implications. Based on the analysis, the areas of overcoming risks in the external sphere should be recognized: strengthening the capacity of the domestic market, including the implementation of infrastructure renewal programs for transport facilities and military-industrial complex, stimulating foreign investment in mechanical engineering; stimulating foreign investment in high-technology activities; implementation of energy efficiency programs; simplifying administrative and tax conditions for the provision of service as a substitute to commodity trade. Value/originality. Data on concentration level of foreign trade of Ukraine and the Russian Federation and on level of foreign economic component of national economic security of Ukraine.

This article is devoted to the assessment of innovative development of the Russian Federation regions using self-organizing Kohonen maps. The relevance of this paper is due to the need to develop various criteria for making decisions on state support for regions, the use of which will allow to conduct a comprehensive assessment of regional development. Its findings should serve as a reliable, high-quality source of information about the feasibility and type of support for a particular region. The study provides a justification for a set of indicators that are used in conducting cluster analysis. The methodology developed by the authors provides an opportunity to divide the regions into clusters, conduct their quantitative and qualitative analysis, and further predict the key indicators of the regions based on their belonging to different clusters. All this allows to study regional innovative development in dynamics. The authors draw a conclusion about the uneven innovative development of the Russian regions and the ambiguity of connections between the indicators of the share of organizations engaged in technological innovations and the degree of environmental friendliness of the economy. The findings of this study will be useful to public authorities when making decisions on the allocation of budgetary funds for the development of territories.
