New patterns of modern socio-economic development of Russian regions

The article analyzes the differentiation of Russian regions according to the dynamics of their socioeconomic development in 2022 on the basis of a number of statistical indicators, primarily indices of output of goods and services by basic types of economic activity and industrial production (taking into account the current picture of interregional differences in the dynamics and structure of gross regional product in 2020-2021). It is shown that the economic development of the regions in 2022 was significantly influenced by the dependence of their economy on foreign capital, which previously did not play such a significant role, which for the first time in recent years led to the greatest problems of the North-Western Federal District. In manufacturing, as in 2015, the highest growth rates were characteristic of the Southern Federal District, primarily its largest regions, as well as the Central One. The latter one at the same time was distinguished by great contrasts between individual regions, which turned out to be among the leaders and outsiders in terms of production indices. The real monetary incomes of the population in 2022 were weakly dependent on the dynamics of economic indicators – traditionally, a significant role was played by the redistribution of income within the framework of state social policy. In addition, as is typical of the crisis years, the dynamics of retail trade turnover by region was not determined by the real monetary incomes of the population.
