The main indicators of the innovative development of the Russian Federation are considered on the basis of the data presented in two regulatory documents developed in 2008 and 2011. The indicators cover a wide range of areas of socio-economic development, and their values should be achieved by 2020. However, the targets of macroeconomic indicators laid down in the documents at the current moment of time are seen to be overestimated. The analysis of the main achievements in the field of innovative development of our country over a ten-year period is carried out. For the analysis, a set of statistical data published in various sources was used, as well as the values of target macroeconomic indicators published in the concept and strategy. Based on the assessment of indicators and their deviations, an analysis is made of the success of the innovative development of Russia in various areas - from the development of the high-tech sector to the publication activity of the authors. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that these or those target values of macroeconomic indicators have been achieved at the current time and an assumption about achieving these values by 2020. In addition, based on the analysis, it was determined which of the three options for innovative development our country is implementing at the present stage. The main reasons that prevented the experts and the Government of the Russian Federation from reaching the main target indicators of the concept and strategy and transferring our country to “innovative tracks” are summarized.

The unstable development of the economy of the vast majority of Russian regions and unstable indicators in modern conditions require the establishment and determination of the causes of the observed negative events. This situation is relevant at the regional level, where, in addition to the devastating consequences, the inconsistency of state policy in the field of institutional Economics has created a General lag in the pace of socio-economic development. Based on this, the timeliness and relevance of the consideration of improving the instrumental forms of ensuring the spatially-uniform development of the regions is that the current stage of development of the regional economic level is identified by us with the increasing center-periphery differentiation. The processes of its growth, which are formed under the influence of evolutionary-acquired and inertial-hereditary factors, negatively affect the pace of socio-economic development of peripheral and semi-peripheral territories, do not allow to develop the real sector of the territorial economy, to improve the level and quality of life of the population of localities. In this regard, it seems that the solution of scientific problems of finding new and improving existing instrumental forms of spatially-uniform regional development is relevant in theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of the element of scientific support for the development of the regional economy, its subsystems and components, and the study is desirable to focus on the growth of methodological principles of spatial development of most regions operating in the conditions of center-periphery stratification, as well as the argument of practical recommendations for their depolarization on the principles of improving the organizational and economic tools, as well as methods of analysis and evaluation of the spatial development of the region.

The article suggests an analytical evaluation of social, environmental and economic balanced development of the regional economy on the example of the Voronezh region. The assessment is based on a correlation analysis of indicators. The calculation of correlation coefficients revealed similarity and direction of the relationship of the studied parameters. Analytical assessment reflects the interrelation of indicators in the three main components of the regional economic sectors (economy, nature and society). Any development of economic activity causes significant harm to the environment by emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, discharges of polluted effluents into surface water bodies, formation of a huge amount of production and consumption waste. The measure of this impact are different in their strength, as well as the magnitude of the applied social, environmental and economic damage to the environment in different periods of economic development of the countries. The process of innovative development in production creation of new materials and other fields, (as well as any technogenic impact) can cause a negative, adverse impact on the environment. Environment protection becomes one of the priority tasks of modern eco-oriented economic development. This assessment can be further used in regional management to diagnose the current situation, identify cause and affect relationships between indicators and predict the parameters of balanced development.
