Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the influence of demographic factors on the development of innovations in the regions of Russia. The relevance of the study is associated with the fact that the Russian economy is distinguished by the presence of a large number of various problems that impede the rapid activation of innovative mechanisms. Not every region has opportunities for an innovative breakthrough. The purpose of the article is to compare the Russian regions (Kalmykia, Buryatia) in terms of the characteristics of the main demographic processes and their influence on the innovative development of regions. The article analyzes the following demographic indicators: population size, birth and death rates, age structure, working-age population, etc. The main research methods are the comparative method, analysis of statistical information. Analysis of the data presented showed that complex demographic processes are taking place in the republics. High migration outflow of the population, high mortality rate, a decrease in the share of the working-age population, migration of the rural population — all this affects the demographic potential of the region and, accordingly, the indicators of innovation development.

Summary
The main task of modern socio-economic development of any country is to bring it to an innovative trajectory. Innovations introduced in new products, technologies, equipment, services are the most important factor in competitiveness in all economically developed countries. Russia is inferior to many countries in terms of innovative development. In the Global Innovation Index 2020, Russia is ranked 47th, down one point from last year. For Russia in this situation, the stake on innovation and the knowledge economy is an uncontested scenario of social development. Despite the fact that the regional diversity of the country opens up great opportunities for the implementation of promising innovative strategies in every constituent entity of the country, not every region has opportunities for an innovative breakthrough
