The formation of a full-fledged digital national economy integrated into a single world order is today’s trend. Under a single technological human habitat, it is necessary to understand territories as separate systemic mechanisms of the state, lined up in a logical sequence region-city-municipality city-municipality of each element’s region position to the previous and subsequent ones. That is consideration of the socio-economic development of the system from the standpoint of the agglomeration effect. Based on the above, the article considered various approaches to identifying a territory from the point of view of digital maturity in the global digital transformation process. The existing methods for assessing the digital maturity of Russian regions are considered, groups of metrics for such an assessment are given, and a critical assessment of existing methods is given to develop new ones or improve old ones. The rationale for this is the ability to track digital transformation dynamics through the digital maturity of territories.

The objective of the study is to determine the nature of heterogeneous structural deformations in the economy of Russia. The structural deformations result from the development strategy formed during the transitional period in the 1990s. Implementation of the strategy caused an increase in investment in the commodity sector along with its shortage in the hightech sector; it resulted in a low knowledge-intensity level of the Russian production which became uncompetitive both on the domestic and global markets. The article covers all the aspects of the structural deformations in the Russian economy including the preconditions for these deformations to arise.
