Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the regional trajectories of the poverty changes in Russia in 1995-2020, to identify the most and least successful regions in terms of poverty reduction. In the process of work, the author uses the methods of analysis and generalization of statistical data of Rosstat, systematization and classification of scientific data obtained in the course of early domestic research on poverty. The study results confirm that the all-Russian dynamics of poverty reflect the crisis and recovery periods of the country's economy and highlight a polarization of Russian regions by poverty level. The author analyzes the main changes that have taken place in the redistribution of regional groups of "leaders" and "outsiders", the main aspects of regional poverty in Russia and the possible reasons for the sharp polarization of regions in this indicator. The research results can be of practical importance in the context of studying the experience of the most successful regions that have demonstrated the most effective poverty reduction compared to other regions, and be useful to federal and regional authorities in developing poverty reduction policies. The author concludes that the results of this study may become the basis for further detailed analysis, for example, clustering of regions and typical characteristics of the regions of each cluster in order to identify factors that ensure effective poverty reduction or, on the contrary, successful poverty combating.
