Abstract

— This article discusses the changes typical in the 20th and 21st centuries for cities and rural areas in the regions surrounding Moscow oblast. Despite the fact that Central Russia makes the impression of a relatively densely populated area in comparison with the northern and eastern regions, the contrasts of socioeconomic development here are among the strongest in the country. The processes of concentration of the economy and population are accompanied here by the peripherization and desertification of the old-developed areas. Moscow, on the one hand, makes investment in the surrounding regions, and on the other hand, pumps labor resources, especially young people, from cities and rural areas. This area is characterized by strong differences in population dynamics, employment, wages, and the state of cities and rural economy between districts to the north and south of Moscow oblast, between the suburbs of regional centers and the periphery of the regions, as well as between municipalities adjacent to Moscow oblast and remote from it. Different economic conditions of cities as well as the degree of concentration of agricultural production are shown, taking the latest trends into account. Changes in the forest complex in the Central Russia are considered separately.
