THE PROBLEM OF TERRITORIAL ZONING OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS
The current economic regions in Russia were zoned in the 20-30s of the last century by the soviet State Planning Committee. Back then they played an outstanding role in economic development. However, today they do not correspond to the contemporary Russian realities of market economy.We tried to ide...

However, today they do not correspond to the contemporary Russian realities of market economy.We tried to identify new regions, considering natural, economic, social, geo-ecological conditions. Therefore, the identified regions have a complex geographical nature. We carved out ten such regions: Stolichny, Central, European North, European South, North Caucasian, Uralo-Povolzhsky, West Siberian, North Siberian, South Siberian and Far Eastern.The authors collected statistical information of land area, population size and density, physical and geographical conditions, natural resources and economic activities for each district.
