The article examines the import activities of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the context of the coronavirus infection spread, analyses the import dynamics for 2019–2021, and constructs a regression model of panel data confirming the relationship between imports and the number of COVID-19 cases. It has been found that the number of cases of COVID-19 is directly impact on the import. Import volumes, in value terms, for the period 2019–2021, show a steady increase, which can be explained by an increase in mortality in the Russia, socio-economic consequences associated with the spread of COVID-19, and anticovidal sanitary and epidemiological restrictions.

This research paper addresses the need for digitalization of the economy in socially important areas of the Russian Federation, particularly its regions. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship of digitalization with the processes of inclusive growth and regional development. The study identifies the main directions of the digitalization policy, its overall effectiveness, as well as those processes that make certain public goods more accessible for the population, namely: education, healthcare, security, infrastructure and their possible impact on inequality and the level of income of the population. Problems are identified in the existing national and regional digitalization policy, which is not able to ensure a steady increase in citizens’ incomes, high-quality and affordable higher education, as well as reduce the social tension of the population. Based on the foregoing, the authors offer recommendations for resolving these problems in terms of a digitalization approach and an improved digitalization policy with a view to sustainable inclusive socio-economic growth and development of the Russian Federation regions.

This article examines the relationship between indicators of poverty and inequality and the electoral behavior of the population. For the purpose of the study we use the results of elections of governors of Russian regions and the results of elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation. The analysis was carried out on the basis of regional data for 2015–2019. Methods of cross-sectional regression analysis were used to reveal causal relationships. Based on the results of the analysis, it was revealed that the results of the election campaigns of the regional governors do not depend both on the level of poverty in the region and on the scale of socioeconomic inequality. At the same time, the scale of regional inequality had a significant impact on the regionallevel results of elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in 2016. Subsequently, the results of the election campaign in some regions turned out to be unpredictable.

Aim. The presented study aims to address the issues of the unevenness of construction market development and regional infrastructure development in the Russian Federation.Tasks. The authors analyze the scale of the construction markets in Russian regions and compare it with the level of infrastructure development.Methods. This study uses statistical methods of information processing, including the index method, ranking, and expert assessment. Input data for the analysis include official statistical reports of the Federal State Statistics Service (major socio-economic indicators and indicators of construction activity development in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation), analytical reviews of InfraOne Research — Russian infrastructure: development index 2020, and data from the SPARK service.Results. The study examines the specific features of regional construction market development and divides regions into five groups based on the scale of construction markets. The authors assess the relationship between the volume of construction works and the scale of the contractor market with the values of the infrastructure development index and the volume of housing commissioning. It is concluded that there is a mutual influence between the scale of the construction market and the level of infrastructure development. The results of the study can be used in the development (updating) of strategies for the development of the construction complex and infrastructure, as well as in the implementation of government policy in this area.Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the volume of construction works, Russian regions are divided into five groups depending on the scale of the construction market. The scale is assessed based on the extent of the region’s contribution to the total volume of construction works performed in the Russian Federation. Assessment of the relationship between the volume of construction works and the scale of the contractor market with the values of the infrastructure development index indicates that regions with a large volume of construction works have a higher infrastructure development index. The volume of construction works and the number of construction companies do not always have an effect the infrastructure development index.

The article examines the impact of various socio-economic and financial indicators on the resilience of Russian regions. For each region, the integral index of resilience is calculated, and its correlation dependence with the selected indicators is revealed. The study confirms the relationship between fiscal resilience and socio-economic resilience of the regions. The analysis of panel data for 75 regions from 2007 to 2016 shows that there are significant differences in the dynamics of indicators in different periods. In particular, the degree of exposure to the negative effects of the crises of 2008—2009 and 2014—2015 in non-resilient regions is higher than in resilient ones.

The paper is devoted to the examination of issues related to the increasing importance of budgetary regulation for the proper functioning of a modern innovative society. The key role of the budgetary regulation in the financial process of the State is particularly acute in the context of systemic crises that include socio-economic consequences caused by the spread of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in Russia. In the course of the study, the features of changes in the state financial policy caused by the above-mentioned crisis phenomena are highlighted. The paper describes various approaches to the interpretation of the budgetary regulation as a category of financial law, explores various types and legal forms of methods of the budgetary regulation, analyses mechanisms and the impact of the State on the budget system through the existing legal structure of the budgetary regulation. It is determined that the rules of financial law governing the whole complex of public relations concerning the distribution and redistribution of the national product between the levels of the budget system of the Russian Federation constitute the institution of financial law, namely: the budgetary regulation. The author concludes that the approach based on the concentration of basic powers in the financial field at the federal level significantly slows down the dynamics of development of economic activity in the majority of regions of Russia, while the need for breakthrough innovative development of Russian society determinates the expansion of long-term tax sources of income for regional budgets. In this regard, it is proposed to consolidate additional regulation for revenues gained by regional and local budgets in the form of targeted deductions from federal taxes on a long-term basis.

Due to the new coronavirus pandemic, high alert regimes were introduced across the Russian Federation in spring 2020. These emergency regimes were established exclusively by the state bodies of the Russian Federation’s constituent units – federal authorities did not introduce their own emergency regimes. This decentralized strategy of fighting the pandemic was also introduced by the USA and Brazil. Their states, without the sanction of the federal government, and in the case of Brazil, ignoring its bans, set emergency restrictions similar to those in Russia. The legal regulation of emergency regimes existed before 2020, when constituent units of the federation (states) actively used their emergency powers. However, the regimes introduced during the fight against the pandemic were slightly different to previous ones. The restrictions on rights and freedoms within these regimes were so severe that not only their proportionality was questioned, but there were also doubts as to whether the regional level of the government had the authority to establish such strict restrictions. In addition, the pandemic exposed old problems and revealed new shortcomings in the legal regulation of emergency regimes: lack of control over the realization of the emergency regime by legislative (representative) authorities, and gaps in legislative regulation – notably in the establishment of possible restrictions and of a mechanism for scrutinizing their proportionality. All this raised questions about the proportionality of the established restrictions. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation resolved a very insignificant amount of the problems. While the United States and Brazil faced similar issues, the practice of scrutinizing implemented restrictions in these countries was more common. This article takes domestic and foreign experiences into account, while examining certain aspects of the establishment and the operation of regional emergency regimes.
