Introduction. The transformation of Russia's economic inequality in the context of geopolitical challenges and the integration of new regions actualizes the tasks of analyzing the reproductive imbalances of territorial development. The spatial development of the national economy is characterized by a stable asymmetry in the indicators of gross regional product and the actual final consumption of households, which requires a rethink of approaches to regional policy. The integration of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions into the socio-economic space of the Russian Federation takes place in conditions of deep interregional differentiation that has formed at all stages of the reproductive cycle. New regions are characterized by deformed parameters of demographic and economic processes, which necessitates the development of special mechanisms for their spatial development. An analysis of the territorial proportions of the Russian economy shows that the traditional policy of income redistribution, with certain positive results in smoothing social inequality, does not provide qualitative structural shifts in the spatial development of regions. The integration of new territories into the system of inter-regional economic relations requires the formation of a stable production base capable of generating primary incomes and stimulating domestic demand.Purpose. To identify the features of the spatial development of the Russian economy through the analysis of the reproductive parameters of the regions and substantiate the directions of regional policy in the context of the integration of new territories. The key hypothesis is that ensuring sustainable spatial development requires modification of reproduction proportions based on the formation of the production base and the growth of primary incomes of the population, which is especially important for new regions at the initial stage of integration processes.Materials and methods. The data of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, presented in information and analytical materials and statistical publications, were mainly used as a statistical and analytical base for the preparation of the study. To reliably record trends in economic differentiation, an array of data has been used since 2000; due to the publication of annual estimates of the gross regional product with a lag of 1.5 years (actually more), calculations are limited to 2023. The use of an array of information transmitted by subjects of federal statistical accounting, administrative data ensures the objectivity and stability of the assessment, the ability to compare the results (subject to the invariance of methods) for different periods / points in time. The methodological basis of the research is a systematic approach, methods of statistical analysis (typological groupings, analysis of series of dynamics, tabular presentation of data).Results. The study identified key trends and factors of regional socio-economic differentiation in the Russian Federation. The task of positive economic alignment remains important, but requires the adaptation of assessment methods (including indicators and their target parameters), mechanisms and tools. The results of the study contribute to the expansion of ideas about the spatial structure of the Russian economy in the context of the implementation of new actors (Azov Sea macro-region).Conclusions. The stable nature of the majority of the imbalances in the territorial development of the Russian Federation, expressed in the asymmetric parameters of the reproduction process, determines the search for means and tools to achieve real progress. The traditional alignment of the levels of regional socio-economic development through the policy of redistribution is not the dominant state regulation at the present stage.

Introduction. Modern economic science is characterized by a diversity of theoretical approaches and methodological tools for studying regional labor markets, which creates methodological heterogeneity and complicates the development of unified models for analysis, forecasting, and decision-making in their management. In the absence of reliable statistical information on the labor market of reunited territories, this issue becomes especially relevant, necessitating the development of new regulatory approaches that ensure both their stability and competitiveness. The purpose of this study is the development of strategic directions for the regulation of regional labor markets in reunited territories based on a cognitive approach, which allows for consideration of qualitative factors and causal relationships under conditions of incomplete statistical data. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research was the cognitive approach, implemented through simulation modeling methods. For structuring knowledge and analyzing causal relationships, cognitive maps of various levels of detail (weighted directed graphs) were constructed. Scenario modeling was conducted using the GMCS and "Ados-Pro" software systems. Additionally, content analysis of expert surveys and analysis of statistical data were applied. Results. The article argues that effective regulation of the regional labor markets of reunited territories requires the integrated application of cognitive modeling and traditional analytical methods. The developed methodological toolkit enables the consideration of qualitative factors and the construction of forecasts under conditions of uncertainty. The proposed strategic directions represent a practical mechanism for transitioning from crisis management to strategic development based on the simultaneous enhancement of the stability and competitiveness of regional labor markets. Conclusions. The article proves that effective regulation of regional labor markets in re-connected territories requires an integrated application of cognitive modelling and traditional methods of analysis. The developed methodological tools allow to take into account qualitative factors and make forecasts in conditions of uncertainty. The proposed strategic directions represent a practical mechanism of transition from crisis management to strategic development based on synchronous increase in resilience and competitiveness of regional labour markets.

The regional development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation differs depending on the specific characteristics and factors determining uniqueness. This article is devoted to the analysis of the state of creative industries in the Southern Federal District, as well as assessing the impact of these factors on the trends in the development of the creative sector. Regional measures to support the creative sector in the Southern Federal District have been systematized. The current tasks of the development of creative industries in the South of Russia have been proposed and substantiated.

In today 's environment, the issues of integrated development, economic independence and financial resources for the Territories are becoming most important. The ability of the region to have such resources in sufficient quantity and volume to fully implement the tasks set, to solve economic and social problems within the competence of the relevant level of power, and is its economic autonomy. In any case, the region, having gained such autonomy, is to some extent separated from other regions of the country within the framework of the national economy, as well as limited reproductive ties in the territory. At the same time, there are problems related to the lack of own revenues and the dependence of regions on free revenues from other levels of the budget system. Integrated development depends directly on the financial basis (base) capable of providing it. Coherent and balanced economic, social and spatial development, taking into account and respecting the interests of present and future generations, constitutes the integrated development of the Territories. The purpose of the work is to define new directions of complex development of rural areas on the example of Bagayevsky district of Rostov region.
