摘要：Under the conditions of market-economic reforms that have been taking place in Russia over the past 30 years, the sectoral and territorial structure of the country’s economy has changed dramatically. The economy of some regions, that were successful during the Soviet times sagged and failed, while other regions experienced an actual economic take-off. This paper discusses the main aspects of the spatial organization of the Russian Federation and the development of the Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk agglomerations, which are the largest economic centers of Western and Eastern Siberia. To answer the main question of the study-whether thirty years of economic restructuring in the country could affect the leading position of Novosibirsk and make Krasnoyarsk the new regional leader of Siberia, the authors perform the comparative socio-economic analysis of both agglomerations.
