“…Occasional critical notes on the model (e.g., Alampiev, 1960; Moshkin, 1962) had failed to reach sufficient momentum to introduce radical changes to the paradigm, and most scholars maintained the paradigm by developing or reinterpreting theoretical and functional elements of the template (Lis, 1975; Privalovskaya, 1979; Probst, 1977) without questioning its foundational principles or underlying assumptions (Pokshishevskiy, 1979). The Central Committee had officially initiated construction projects of new TPCs in its Basic Guidelines for the Development of the National Economy in 1976–80 , which cemented the position of the model as the principal economic geographical model and as a practical planning tool for the rest of the Soviet period (Linge, Karaska, & Ian Hamilton, 1978). The Soviet articles analyzing the prospects of the TPC plans from this period (e.g., Kosmachev & Losyakova, 1976; Shotskiy, 1976; Sochinskaya, 1977) reflect a consensus regarding the role of the TPC model as an integral part of the projected technological trajectories.…”

In this article, I draw from organizational imprinting theory to illuminate the impact of the Soviet legacy on contemporary Russian economic geography and regional policy. I argue that central coordination in the creation and regulation of Russian urban agglomerations is connected to a socialist imprinted paradigm associated with the Soviet economic regionalization model and territorial-production complexes (TPCs). I conduct a qualitative historical study to analyze the role of the foundational environment and the dynamics in the development of this imprint. I propose that this imprint effect is prone to reproduction in contemporary regional development strategies and community-based paradigms due to exaptation and cultural-cognitive persistence. The article extends the literature of socialist imprinting by demonstrating how imprints may emerge, transform, and affect localized organizational communities in transition economies and highlights the role of imprinted paradigms in policymaking and regional development.

“…Imprinted processes describe the occurrence of imprints and adherent mechanisms, which take place during the sensitive period. Marquis & Tilcsik (2013) One contributing factor to this was the introduction mathematical models into economic geography in the 1950s and cybernetic movement (Peters 2016), which found congruent elements with application of TPC theory (Linge, Karaska & Hamilton 1978). However, another source of imprinting stems from sequence of events prior to the Party Congress.…”

“…At the same time, many Soviet economists considered that the management model based on decentralization principle and sectoral ministries was ineffective (Kuznetsov & Mezhevik 2017). TPCs received official endorsement from the Central Committee in its Basic Guidelines for the Development of the National Economy in 1976-80, which alongside the establishment of associated science institute in Novosibirsk cemented its position as the principal economic geographical model and as a practical planning tool(Linge, Karaska & Hamilton 1978).…”

Russia's strategy for regional development has taken an authoritarian direction during the recent decades, despite simultaneous pressures to modernize economic structures and increase growth in regional agglomerations. In this paper, I use the concept of imprinting to study the impact of Soviet organizational environment on the Russian economic geography and the contemporary forms of regional policy, highlighting specifically the persistence of elements associated with the Soviet regional economic system and territorial-production complexes (TPCs). Analysis of different processes of imprinting suggests that certain elements of the Soviet economic geography are prone to reproduction and the Soviet authoritarianism constitutes a cognitive template for the contemporary Russian decision-makers in directing regional development. The paper extends the literature of socialist imprints by demonstrating how imprints may influence organizational communities and invoke characteristics of socialist economic management in the contemporary regional policy context.
