Abstract

— The main common properties, differences, and problems of studying old-developed areas are considered after a brief review of the reasons for and the circumstances of the late Soviet attention to these territories in geography. The place of the array of regions chosen for the study in the country’s economy is shown, their enlarged sectoral composition and the post-Soviet, mainly post-industrial, transformation of the main structural types of regional economies are analyzed. Russia’s long-lasting desire to develop its sparsely populated spaces rich in natural resources prolonged the interest of science in the centers of new development, partly to the detriment of studying and solving the problems of old-developed areas. Mastering of territories as a form of spatial development is in principle uneven. It mirrors the fate of new and old areas, which retain traces of several waves of development. Areas are genetically heterogeneous and subject to stratification and fragmentation in the course of uneven development. The relationship between the concepts of uneven development, concentration, polarization, and shrinkage of the developed space is considered. Successive development waves, leading economic sectors, and stages of urbanization reduce the stability of the population and its dynamics. This can be seen in Russia from the opposite dynamics of large cities and rural areas even though urbanized areas also destabilize sooner or later. In Central Russia, something like a funnel of depression around the Moscow capital region is revealed. It is shown that with a general manufacturing shrinkage, its concentration at the regional level increased. Many old-developed areas remain industrial, having changed their profile and position in the ranking, however. A complete restoration of industrial output to its Soviet volume and structure, according to the author, is impossible. Innovative development through hightech is more vital. The question is how to provide it.
