Abstract
The research project `Changes in the Russian urban system after the dissolution of the Soviet Union' supported by the German Science and Research Society aims to reveal the impact of change in (1) the national and regional urban network, (2) the type and condition of Russian cities, and (3) the factors and actors affecting urban development. In this contribution the focus is made on the first task. The authors argue that visible stabilisation of the Russian urbanisation under crisis and/or under a new stage involves a good deal of restructuring and qualitative change. The hierarchy of the nation-wide functional centres is in flux. Within regions `alternative' foci attract industries, capital and people, and compete with regional capitals.
