The article considers the factors that impede the sustainable development of entrepreneurship. The results of the studies are presented that prove that spatial development based on the growth of agglomerative formations with time can start to hamper the innovative development of entrepreneurship in the regions. The change of the consolidated innovation index is studied depending on the size of the agglomeration zone and the scope of works in terms of the number of city inhabitants. The reasons limiting prospects of the agglomeration growth of large formations, in particular, the mass outflow of the population to large cities and low natural growth of the population, are researched. The compensatory possibilities of migratory flows have been studied and the expediency of ensuring sustainable entrepreneurship based on the new scheme of spatial development of Russia on the basis of agglomeration transformations, and primarily the formation of non-urban agglomerations, has been proved.

This article is an attempt to estimate the impact of the volatility of oil prices on the income of Russian economic entities associated with the oil realization, as well as the importance of the price of oil in stabilizing the exchange rate of the national currency. The authors have analyzed dependencies between the variance of the price of oil, ruble exchange rate against the US dollar and Russian oil export volume and observed the correlation between these indicators. It has been concluded that the problems of the Russian economy are expressed in the loss of dollar revenues from oil sales by 2.37 times in the last five years, which significantly affected the trade balance and served as the basis for the devaluation of the ruble. According to the results of the research, the authors suggest several solutions for raising the price of oil and stabilizing the ruble exchange rate.
