Abel Aganbegyan made an excursion into the economic policy of the Russian government in 2013-2014, which led to stagnation. The scientist considers the main mistake to be the curtailment of state investments (and state support of private) just at the time when they needed to be increased - primarily due to the increasing (both in terms of time and proportionately) depreciation of fixed assets, which almost reached the point of full depreciation today, while 22 percent of all equipment works beyond the allotted time. And about 70% of acquired machinery and equipment in Russia are foreign-made. “The trouble does not come alone,” the academician quoted the Russian proverb. - Lack of investment and low input of fixed assets were aggravated by the outflow of capital that arose during the crisis of 2008-2009, which has been going on for the ninth year. For 8 years, about 650 billion dollars have left the country. Export revenue also decreased. ” Falling oil prices, sanctions and counter-sanctions also played a role.

When you get acquainted with the strategies of the regions, you see that their authors usually try to formulate several tasks that cover all aspects of society. For example, increasing the competitiveness of a region or raising the level of culture, etc. Meanwhile, in each strategy, the improvement of the living standards of the region’s population is always in the center of attention. But almost never do we see in the strategy specific tasks to increase the contribution of this region to the socio-economic development of the country. It does not come down to increasing the specific gravity of the region, for example, in creating the country's gross domestic product, but usually it is much higher than that due to those industries and areas of specialization in which the region plays a significant role. Many consider it extremely important that each of these tasks, which they list in the usual regional strategy, be divided into subtasks, and those, in turn, into smaller tasks. As a result, several dozen tasks of the region are formulated, usually set out not specifically with respect to any large enterprise or organization of this region, but with regard to the direction of activity.
