Abstract

Are there prospects for diversifying the economy of the country’s «eternally» problematic areas? The question is relevant. The purpose of the work is to study and reveal the main reasons for the systemic lag, to formulate proposals for creating the necessary conditions (mechanisms) for the industrialization of the economy of the depressed East Siberian border region – the Republic of Tyva – which, if effectively implemented, can be used in other similar spaces of the Russian Federation. As a result of the research, the stages of development are shown, the facts of achieving an 87-fold increase in the volume of industrial production in the region from 1945 to 1990, and the main reasons for the lag in subsequent periods are identified. It has been suggested that it is necessary to consider the peculiarities and selective approach when developing regulatory laws regarding problematic Russian border territories. It is proposed to create stimulating legislative and legal conditions for the industrialization of the economy of the Republic of Tyva (in a pilot version) as necessary tools for attracting investment in the production sectors, increasing the volume of gross regional product, increasing the standard of living of the population, including per capita monetary income to the average Russian level, and in in the future – up to 60 thousand rubles per month. The results obtained in the study were partially applied in the development of sectoral and strategic development programs for the region (including the Individual Program for Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of Tyva for 2020–2024) and can subsequently be used in the formation of legislative mechanisms to ensure the effective implementation of diversification programs economy of the country’s problematic border areas
