The study verifies the compliance of sectorial specialization of Russian regions and the priorities of regional development presented in the form of cluster initiatives. The case of cluster policy shows that sectorial specialization of Russian regions, which was identified statistically, is often ignored when applying public support measures. The paper reports on the results of comparative analysis of the method for determining regions’ specialization industries used in the paper with the list of “economic specializations of Russian regions” mentioned in the “Strategy for spatial development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025”. The paper suggests recommendations that ensure the multi-level coordination of policy makers’ actions and concentration of resources on the justified priorities of regional development.

The paper discusses the theoretical aspect of the formation of a multi-level model of clustering and innovative development of Russian regions. The purpose of the work is to identify a set of factors that affect the effectiveness and efficiency of these processes to work out an integrated approach in their regulation. The object of the study is the pecu-liarities of the functioning of cluster formations on the territory of the regions of the Russian Federa-tion. The formation and development of clusters of the entities of the Russian Federation is influenced by a combination of factors of macro- (federal dis-tricts), meso- (entities of the Russian Federation) and micro-levels (local production systems and in-dividual enterprises). Development tools for each of them are highlighted. A structural and logical scheme of a multi-level model of clustering and in-novative development of Russian regions has been developed. The functions of state authorities and local self-government within the cluster policy are defined: mediation, infrastructure, regulatory. It is summarized that the presented multi-level model has a promising potential of methodological foun-dations for managing the processes of transfor-mation of the economic space of regions, the main elements of which are the zones of clustering of production.


No breakthrough in the economic development of the Russian Federation could be achieved without the maximum utilisation of the inner regional potential. This implies high relevance of studies concerning the aspects of influence produced by internal and external factors on regional development, as well as analyses of the existing conditions at the macroeconomic level that support or hinder the engagement of inner regional reserves and opportunities in the regions' socioeconomic development. This would make the basis for a more comprehensive view of the regional system and its inherent properties, helping to identify ways to manage regional development. Objectives. Analysis and decomposition of developmental shifts in the Russian regions and their classification based on internal and external influences. Methods. The primary research method is the shift-share analysis method. The methods of logical and statistical analysis, particularly, correlation analysis, are also used. Results. The driver effects of shifts are calculated at the national, industry, and regional levels for 80 regions of the Russian Federation and the period comprising two time points, 2012 and 2017. The regional and industry effects are analysed by the types of economic activities. It is established that, firstly, the regional effect is negative for most regions and, secondly, the industry effect (in combination with the national effect) acts to smooth out the negative regional effect. Conclusions. A conclusion is made that positive shifts can be achieved both in strong and weak regional economies. Generally, the shifts in Russian regions are mostly influenced specifically by the internal regional conditions, which are mostly adverse, suggesting high importance of regional effects. The research highlights the significance of industry policies at the federal level, primarily in economic activities such as agriculture and manufacturing, and the need for improvement of regional policies implemented at the federal level to raise the number of self-developing regions.

The subject of this research is the support measures provided by the government Russian Federation for self-employed citizens who fall under a special tax regime “tax on professional income” in the conditions of the spread of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The experiment of implementation of a special tax regime and the adoption of measures to support self-employed population in the time of pandemic plays an important role for the Russian economy. Legalization of activity of the growing number of self-employed citizens is the indicator of awareness and the manifestation of legal culture of the Russian population, and support provided by the government testifies to their participation in well-being of the population. Successful accomplishment of the set task is reflected in the statistics – as of December 31,.2020, the number of self-employed population amounted to 1,603,638 persons, while in the beginning of the pandemic it was 563,722 persons across the Russian Federation. The authors determine the two types of state support measures: general measures for businesses and the self-employed; as well as special measures intended solely for the self-employed. The application of systematic, formal-legal, comparative-legal, and structural-functional methods, allows examining the state support measures for the self-employed within the framework of implementation of the economic function by the government. Analysis is conducted on the actual statistical data and recent amendments to the legislation. The scientific novelty and practical importance of this work lies in comprehensive examination of the key measures of provided by the government of the Russian Federation for self-employed citizens in the time of COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in comparative analysis with the measures provided in foreign countries. Special attention is given to the comparative analysis of state support measures in Russia and Germany.

The article examines the potential and prospects for the development of the digital economy of the re-gions of the Russian Federation. The process of digitalization is one of the most important drivers of both economic and social development of the regions, which is the relevance of this topic. Modern digital technol-ogies affect and actively improve most of the spheres of life: education, trade, production, and much more. As a result of the research, the main ways of development of the digital economy of the Russian Federation were studied, the level of digitalization of its subjects was determined through the prism of open sources on the basis of the new author's methodology of the Moscow School of Management «Skolkovo». The authors made a comparative analysis of the level of digitalization of various regions of Russia, as well as recommen-dations for the development of the digital economy of the country and its subjects.

Nowadays, the development of regions in the Russian Federation is determined by a multitude of competing factors that require comprehensive analysis. Of particular interest are territories that differ from the rest of the country due to their unique status. The object of the research is the regions that make up the Baikal natural territory. The subject of research is the analysis of key parameters and sustainability of territorial systems in the Russian Federation enjoying a special status. The purpose of research was to study various modes of sustainability of regional development using a set of objective statistical indicators. It is concluded that according to many significant socio-economic parameters the situation in the regions of the Baikal natural territory is deteriorating, which, in aggregate, leads to degradation of the regional development sustainability and creates prerequisites for further deterioration of the situation. The results obtained can be used by regional administrations as well as by federal bodies.

The purpose of this study is to assess the resilience of the development of the Russian regions using the Mahalanobis distance methodology. I test a number of hypotheses about the relationship between resilient development and its level, rate, and the degrees of economic openness and sectoral diversification of the economy. The study relies on the data provided by the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation on 83 Russian regions from 2000 to 2017. The level of economic resilience was determined using five particular indicators per capita: the revenue of the consolidated budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the actual final consumption of households, the investments of firms in fixed assets, exports and imports. Bringing partial indicators of development to a single indicator was carried out by calculating the Mahalanobis distances, demonstrating the average normalized distance of the region to a particular center. The construction of temporal regressions of the Mahalanobis distances for each region made it possible to separate the stable trend of their development from the cyclical component. To assess the absolute and relative levels of the instability of regional development, I used the standard deviation of the residuals of these regressions and its ratio to the time-average Mahalanobis distance of each region. To test the hypotheses, I constructed multivariate regressions based on spatial samples of regions. As a result of the study, I obtain assessments of the level and rate of development, as well as the levels of absolute and relative stability, both for 5 particular indicators and for a composite indicator in all Russian regions. A positive and rather high correlation was found between the level of regional development and its absolute instability. Among the least stable, I found a number of dynamically developing mining regions of the Russian Federation, such as the Tyumen and Sakhalin regions, the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, but also the Kaluga region with a developed manufacturing industry. Some of the less developed regions of the European part of Russia with a fairly diversified economy (Chuvash Republic, Ulyanovsk, Penza and Kirov regions) turned out to be the most stable. The study confirmed the hypotheses about a positive relationship between the degree of development instability and its level and rate, as well as the degree of openness of the economy, and about the negative relationship between the instability and the level of sectoral diversification of the economy. The results of the study can be useful in managing the resilient development of Russian regions.

The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that the right to life belongs to the basic constitutional human rights, therefore, its observance and protection is the duty of the state. Despite its undeniable importance, today the right to life anywhere in the world is not really ensured in sufficient quantities. The constitutional consolidation of the right to life raises a number of issues related to the concept, nature, legislative and practical implementation of this right. It should be noted that various aspects of the human right to life were considered in the scientific works of G.B. Romanovsky, O.G. Selikhova, T.M. Fomichenko, A.B. Borisova, V.A. Ershov and other Russian authors. The aim of the study is to study and comparative analysis of the legal content of the constitutional norm that defines the right to life, to comprehend and identify possible problems of the implementation of this right. To achieve this goal, this article discusses relevant issues of ensuring the right to life, proclaimed by Article 20 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Article 27 of the Constitution of Azerbaijan Republic. The results of a comparative analysis of these constitutional norms and the relevant norms of industry law allow us to determine, that there is no contradiction between Article 20 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the norms of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation, which imply the death penalty as an exceptional measure of punishment, because a moratorium has been imposed on the death penalty in the Russian Federation since April 16, 1997. However, after the abolition of the death penalty in the criminal legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 1998, there was a discrepancy between parts II and III of Article 27 of the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the criminal legislation of Azerbaijan Republic that requires the introduction of the necessary changes in the content of the analyzed constitutional norm. The value of the work is determined by the fact that the introduction of appropriate changes will contribute to the further improvement of the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the effective implementation of the right to life of everyone.
