Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to identify « growth points» of economic growth in the regions, determine their type, and assess the conditions for their development. Methods: the main feature of this study is to obtain an expert assessment of the qualitative aspects of regional development. The main source of empirical data was an online survey conducted by the authors in 2016. Results: the study identified potential «growth points» in five regions of the Russian Federation and determined their nature according to the idea of modernizing the socio-economic environment. The selected points allow to develop the potential of the region horizontally. However, there are certain problems that hinder this development and they have been identified. Conclusions and Relevance: at the moment, the identified «growth points» can not be classified as information or intellectual, but in all regions there is the possibility of activating such industries. The «growth points» allocated by experts are still potential, because their technical, technological and innovative components have medium level of development. «Growth points» in the Republic of Sakha and the Nizhny Novgorod region have a greater modernization activity. Such expertise can be used by local authorities to adjust development vectors and strategies. It can also be an element of monitoring the socioeconomic development of regions.

Purpose: the aim of the article is to study the reasons for the decline in agricultural production, withdrawal from the market of tens of millions of hectares of cultivated areas, reduction of livestock and poultry. Justification of the importance of the use of domestic and foreign experience of state regulation of economic relations, the financial support for the development of agricultural production. This article analyzes the structural changes in the agricultural sector of the Russian economy in the post-reform period, with an emphasis on solving problems of modernization of agricultural production. The stages of structural reforms, their characteristics, which are based on the methodological approaches related to the adoption and implementation of normative acts of the federal authorities with an estimate of the dynamics of agricultural production and the state of the economy producers has been reviewed. Methods: the methodological basis of this article are the economic and statistical methods of analysis, regulatory documents in the field of food security, public analytical materials in the field of the problems of modernization and import substitution. Results: the results of the work became – development of proposals addressing the problems of increasing efficiency of structural reforms. The necessity of the following was proven: the transition of the agricultural sector in the resource-innovative development model based on the integration of science and production; adjustment of the State program of agricultural development and regulation of agricultural products, raw materials and food for 2013–2020 in terms of economic relations; improvement agro-industrial production management mechanism. Conclusions and Relevance: structural reforms in the agricultural sector as a result of errors did not contribute to the sustainable growth of its efficiency, which lead to a sharp decline in production, the country has lost food independence. It is necessary to develop a qualitatively new development program of agricultural production in view of its ongoing modernization, the transition to resource-innovative model of operation.

A research purpose is the analysis of the European natural gas market environment and the modernization opportunities of the delivery system from Russia in connection with the current geo-economic changes. The main methods are the factorial approaches and the content analysis, which allows allocate and structure this sector’s driving forces.Export of the Russian natural gas on the European market still remains the dominating activity, in terms of the total amounts of deliveries, though over the last ten years its specific weight has been considerably reduced. The situation has sharply become aggravated both in connection with the "Ukrainian" crisis, and that of the European Union policy, which is taking the active measures for the gas supply system diversification. As a result of the conducted research it is proved that the Russian gas transportation system in the Arctic regions requires the strategic upgrade which shall go in two main directions.The first direction is the forming of the new pipeline schemes replacing the unreliable transit routes. The second direction is a rather innovative development of exploration and transportation of the liquefied natural gas which amount exceeds thirty percent in world export and in Russian has not yet reached ten percent.Scientific novelty of the received results consists in system approval of the opportunities of adaptation of Russian export deliveries to the market demand changes. The proposals of increase of the liquefied natural gas exploration in the Arctic regions and formation of the basic centers (special zones) have also a practical importance.

The state of present Russian economics is discussed from the standpoint of conditions and problems of its transition to innovative economy. Since the time Russian economy begun transition to market relations, Russian scientific potential has suffered essential losts, its rehabilitation in XXI centuryproceeding slowly. Among numerous infrastructural, managerial and legal problems, there are those of the innovation sector «external encirclement». While solving innovative development problems, both their numerous interconnection and simultaneous implementation of the results should be taken into account.

Russian economy modernization strategic aims can be attained only on the basis of normally functioning machine-building, metallurgic and energetic industries. However, basic heavy machines used in enterprises of these industries at present are under operation for 30 to 40 years and got worn up to 65–85%. Rehabilitation of these machines is to be carried out on the basis of thorough diagnostics and innovative projects that would make it possible to preserve the machines’ basic heavy components making up to 80% of their weight and cost and to update or replace active components (drive, control, mechanization, etc.). Since most of these enterprises are currently private-owned, certain organizational and legal actions are needed.

Kazakhstan is one of world largest oil extracting countries. Nevertheless, Kazakhstan oil refineries prefer to use Russian crude oil. This situation results from the fact that oil exported from Russia to Kazakhstan has for many years been imposed with zero export tax. Moreover, December 2010 Russia and Kazakhstan agreed not to change this regime till 2015. Hence, it is more profitable for Kazakhstan to export own oil and to import that produced in Russia. Resulting from this, as well as taking into account technical condition of domestic refineries, it seems to be unreal that any effective modernization of its oil refineries will be carried out in Kazakhstan within the nearest future. Investment amounts required for the modernization, including those stipulated in programs, three times less than actual amounts. Fuel deficiency is more preferable for government officials than abundance. Lack of modernization means that increased volumes of petrol will be imported nearest years.

Pigstry is most promising livestock farming branch. Its modernization may decisively help solving Russia foodstuff independence problem. At present, Russian meat and meat foodstuff producers use mainly imported pig meat owing to the fact that the domestic one is too fatty and costlycompared to that grown and prepared in pigstry leading countries. Most of Russian agricultural companies use obsolete technologies. Among few Russian companies who operate on the basis of most advanced pigstry technologies is Mortadel Ltd. Activities of its Selection and Genetics Center (SGC) spread to all relative production stages from making own fodder to production of delicatessen. The pigs are grown by farmers under control and with the help of SGC. Business approach used by this company is many dozen years ahead of those used all over the world andpresents the way of solving the painful Russian farmer economy problem.

Issues related to role Russian regions play in the development of the country economy are discussed along with most efficient modernization development trends and factors most seriously influencing advantages and drawbacks of different approaches to innovative development ofthe country. Main national innovative system formation tasks are denoted. Influence of the state support to innovations and importance of this support for the development of the country economy are examined.

The innovative economics model is examined in its interaction with the environment that includes such components as science, society, state, education, business and market as well as safety and court systems. Three main RF economics innovative and active development strategies are suggested and discussed: «resource-export», «resource-science» and «resource-innovation» strategies. Preference is given to the resourceinnovation strategy characteristic with multiple effect resulting from innovations used to update domestic technologies and to restructure the processing and manufacturing industries. An instrument called «Road map» is developed as a set and succession of measures required for Russia to transit to innovative economy.

The task of accelerated modernization of Russia may be solved provided objective causes of the system crisis spread all over the country as a certain mankind system are revealed and efficient crisis way-out instruments are found. These instruments are determined in the article on the basis of a new method. It is demonstrated that only two mankind association development paradigms have existed over the long period of the history of mankind. Cycles, crises, utter confusions and other negative phenomena have been natural products of the second development paradigm, thetime factor playing most negative role therewith. Disproportions and desynchronization of all processes in time and space may be eradicated only if relations with every individual and his interests over the whole of his spiritual and material demands are synchronized with production that covers these demands; nothing extra should be produced. The new life arrangement model at every local level is actually the former first development paradigm based on the production/demand direct interrelation realized at a new hi-tech level.

Russian economy modernization problems are to be solved on the basis of innovations and very soon, since it is vital for the increase of competitiveness of national economy and economy of domestic enterprises. Discussed in the article are issues related to modern development of business as well as most actual directions of development connected with innovations and integration processes. Reasons of unpreparedness of Russian entrepreneurship for innovative development are revealed. Governmental measures and directions of innovative development are critically analyzed, examples from foreign experience are provided for. Directions of development and increase of competitiveness of enterprises on the basis of innovations and integration are proposed.

Modernization process currently underway in economics of the Russian Federation subjects reveal serious discrepancy between present professional education systems and demands of regional economics real sectors in professionals of all categories from workers of leading occupations to engineers and technicians. The problem of preparation of professionals qualified in conformity with up-to-date regional economics modernization demands may be solved only through creationof equal conditions for citizens of all regions of the Russian Federation to obtain qualified professional education.

Past some years after collapse of the USSR, a party most members of which are regarded by country people as «swindlers» and «thieves» has come to power in Russia and remains there at present. Corruption, fraud and other criminal phenomena blossom in Russia, since there is no struggle against them. State machinery bureaucrats consume 40% of the GIP. Modernization of the country’s political and economic life is possible only through fundamental break of current public relations and taking new orientation on the basis of a combination of capitalist and socialist features.

Agricultural production in Russia, even together with the forestry and fisheries, accounts for only about 5% of GDP and added value produced in the country. In all developed and most rapidly developing countries of the world there is a process of synthesis of the scientific, industrial, economic and social policy in the form of innovative clusters. Russia also began to follow this path in the form of the «Industrial and agricultural regional clusters» (PARC) federal project. Russian first and for many years successfully running agro-industrial cluster is MORTADEL association of companies. Creation of regional agroindustrial clusters have to become agricultural economy sector general modernization direction in Russia. On their basis, it is possible to carry the country’s agriculture out of the prolonged systemic crisis very soon.

Basic directions of the institutional change in the process of modernization of Russia’s post-industrial society are discussed on the basis of macroand microeconomics. Institutions set a system of incentives and direct activities of the subjects to respective channel, which reduces uncertaintyand makes the socio-economic environment more predictable. «Exchange» means a balance of interests of different society groups and sectors that manifests social acceptance of the distribution of resources and social products. System achievement of this goal in Russia consists in transition of its economy from the raw material export pattern to the innovative social-oriented type of development.

Russian agroindustrial complex development history is abundant with serious mistakes. At present, we drag considerably behind developed countries in this respect.

This paper analyzes the main directions of modernization of the public administration industry universities in rail transport, as well as difficulties in the process. Particular attention is paid to the introduction of public-public form of management of railway universities. Modern management mechanism modernize industry universities, is not possible without a comprehensive approach not only to the study of this problem, but also mandatory synergy of all the components of this complex process. Quantification of the problems existing in the management mechanism to improve the quality of training industry universities requires immediate practical solutions. Currently, the railway industry in a critical situation due to lack of personnel at all levels. Various reformist measures were not given a synergistic result, and in the industry in a critical situation on the lack of training on the background of ever-increasing burden on the rail as the transportation of persons and various cargoes. The Russian Government attaches great importance to this issue and take appropriate action, but they are not enough. The article provides an analysis of the situation and proposes a number of measures to resolve the problem.

A structural analysis of macroeconomic dynamics of the OECD countries andRussiain 1970–2008 has allowed to detect the main problem of Russian economy connected with the accumulated structural disproportions. It is shown that in order to perform a transition to a balanced economic structureRussiahas to fulfill an innovation-technological breakthrough in the forthcoming decade. It is shown that the optimum place forRussiain the world economy of the 21st century is connected with the high technology scientifically based production. The strategy of modernization and industrial policy that could allow to form it are discussed. We suggest the medium-term import substitution strategy as a trigger of the long-term strategy of the formation of innovation scientifically based Russian economy in the first half of the 21st century. We offer a forecasting calculation of the dynamics of technological progress and GDP forRussiaup to 2050 on the basis of our mathematical model that describes the abovementioned long-term strategy of the innovation development of the Russian economy. Those calculations suggest that the Russian economy (using GDP PPP as a criterion) may become already by 2030 the 4th largest economy of the world.

The article describes an influence of the government support of science, education and the scientific manpower preparation system on innovation development ofRussia. It has been hypothesized that the key factor of Russian economy modernization should be the increase of financial support of research efforts and the education system.
