“…Russia has a vast territory extending from north to south for more than 4.000 km and from west to east for almost 10.000 km. The country's natural, climatic and ethnic landscape is diverse (Gubanova & Kleshch, 2019) and each of its regions has some unique characteristics (Bondarenko & Gubarev, 2020). For example, Ivanovo region is the country's top-performing region in textile production, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area-Yugra is one of the main oil-producing regions, and so on.…”

Relevance. Considerable regional disparities in Russia pose a threat to the country’s economic security, which makes the task of identifying and supporting underperforming regions especially urgent. Research objective. The purpose of the study is to identify the struggling regions by using the "volcano" model. This model has not been previously used in studies on economic space features, which determines the novelty of the proposed research. We are also going to describe the possible ways to support these regions. Data and methods. The study uses correlation analysis to investigate the dependence of GRP of 85 Russian regions on the degree of their remoteness from the ‘vent’ region – the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area–Yugra. The analysis was carried out on the basis of cross-sectional data for 2018-2020. The study relies on the data on GRP provided by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat). Results. The results of this study showed that, according to H.Giersch’s methodology, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area-Yugra is the "vent" of the "volcano". By applying this methodology, we have also identified 13 struggling regions. An effective measure to support these regions is to transfer the federal component of the corporate income tax and VAT revenues to their budgets. Meanwhile, the volume of transfers provided to them from the federal budget should remain unchanged. Our calculations show that this measure can create a significant increase in GRP of the Russian regions at the aggregate level, exceeding considerably the losses of the federal budget. Conclusions. The study has shown that the ‘volcano’ models is better suited for the analysis of such countries as Russia, because it makes the research less time-consuming in comparison with the growth poles theory. The results of this study can be used by policy-makers developing the state fiscal policy.

This article is devoted to the analysis of the factors aimed at ensuring the sustainability of development, as well as certain markers of the presence of the stable development of the Russian Federation regions. As part of the work, it is planned to analyze the relationship of digital development in the country and its effective effects for the process of interregional differentiation in modern conditions of a prolonged economic crisis, aggravated by an unfavorable epidemiological situation. In this case, particular importance should be given to the analysis of the ecological component as a factor that predetermines the possibility of the development and implementation of certain technologies. Due to the dynamic assessment of the decoupling effect, the differentiation of regions is assumed, the analysis of the tendency towards a decrease in the inconsistency of the development models of territories. Herewith, special attention is focused on the factor of a potential further decrease in differentiation based on an increase in the sustainability of economic and environmental development processes.

Introduction. Dynamic economic growth and improvement of the quality of life of the population throughout the country are the priorities of the state policies in modern Russia. Differences in natural and climatic conditions, sectoral specialization of the economy, and infrastructural constraints have caused the differentiation of interregional and intraregional socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities. The current measures of state regulation and support for the regions do not provide for overcoming inequality. Based on the results of the research conducted, the article formulates proposals on substantiation of tools that take into account the features of territories and the ways of their self-development. Materials and Methods. The research on inequality of municipalities was conducted on the basis of data from the territorial body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Mordovia, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Entrepreneurship of the Republic of Mordovia, as well as from reports and strategic documents of municipalities. The empirical material was processed using the methods of comparison and grouping. The level of inequality of municipal territories was identified, which made it possible to substantiate the main directions and tools for their development. Results. An assessment of the socio-economic state of the municipal districts of the Republic of Mordovia has been carried out and the level of their differentiation has been revealed with the calculation of variation indicators; the administrative and territorial units have been grouped according to the demographic situation, the differences between them and the possibilities of self-development of each of the selected groups have been analyzed. Discussion and Conclusion. The tools to overcome inequality have been identified, taking into account the features of the municipalities, which require adjustments to municipal strategies for socio-economic development until 2025 and formulation of a concept for the spatial development of the Republic of Mordovia. Recommendations for activating some of the existing tools and developing new ones have been put forward. The results obtained can be used by local governments when updating the priorities for the development of territories and the applied tools of the economic mechanism of strategic management.
