T he paper proposes a model for verifying ways to identify scientific-technological priorities in Russia and suggests instruments for their implementation and adjustment. Our model for the identification of priorities is based on Russia's socio-economic development goals, and takes into account the impact of different scientific and technological development scenarios on the implementation of models of socio-economic arrangement. Based on this logic, a group of technological priorities unchanged in face of the wider spectrum of national economic and social goals is suggested.Global economic, social, and scientific-technological trends and their Russian projections are taken as exogenous Keywords: S&T objectives; priorities; forecast; global trends; effects on the Russian economy; policy instruments factors for selecting technological priorities. The suggested approach is based on the assumption that a new system of priorities should ensure support for implementing strategic development goals and tasks in the medium-and long term, and aims to help define these goals and tasks more accurately.As a result, the paper identifies two groups of priorities. The first group outlines the already institutionalized areas of technological development while the second group outlines fields for institutionalization in the near future. The proposed logic is illustrated through an analysis of five global trends and their applications in Russia, and we highlight which technologies will be driven by these global trends.

The article analyzes government instruments aimed to foster innovation activity in Russia and results of their application. Policy measures that are in the focus of the article include financial instruments, measures to stimulate demand on innovations from side of industry, and infrastructural projects. The conclusion is made that even though there are a variety of government measures to stimulate technological innovations, they are inconsistent and do not form a system of interconnected measures encouraging innovations. KEYWORDS development institutions, government policy, infrastructure, research and development, Russia's technological innovations TRENDS IN THE STATE OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN RUSSIAThe goal of the article is to analyze the major policy measures aimed to foster technological innovations in Russia and to assess their effectiveness. Russia has developed its own ways to support and stimulate innovations as well as copied foreign instruments and practices. Almost all types of instruments used in developed countries are in place in Russia. However, there is no effectively functioning innovation system. The article interprets the factors that hamper technological innovations in Russia.
