Abstract
The remit of the article is regional development strategizing. Regional development strategy as part of regional regulatory environment could ensure the task of sustainable development due to determining priorities for resource conservation, development of a “green” economy, and restoration of natural resources. This is especially important for the extractive economies of the Russian regions. On the contrary, the research revealed the preservation of extractive policies in most of the Ural regions. The manuscript contains the description of the ecological and economic position of the regions of the Ural macroregion, that have a high anthropogenic impact on the environment because of their nature of economy. We analysed the content of the development strategies of the regions of the Ural macroregion and the issues of sustainable development. The Chelyabinsk region and the Republic of Bashkortostan didn’t include sustainable development in the top priorities. It leads them to stick their place in the tail of the National Environmental Rating of Russian Regions. Orenburg region’s strategy conclude the most quality mechanisms for ensuring environmental safety in regional strategic documents. The author highlighted the comprehension of the deep interrelationships of ecological well-being with all spheres of human life in the development strategy of the Sverdlovsk region. The regional development strategy is an important mechanism for ensuring a balance between industrial growth and environmental conservation. Therefore, the authority of traditional industrial regions of the Urals should strengthen the component of sustainable development in their strategies.

Summary
The set of characteristics of the modern Russian Federation determines the relevance of the research. The objects of strategic planning are becoming more complex and the new objects (macroregion, parts of the subject of the Russian Federation, etc.) require specific approaches. There are no unified methodological approaches to strategizing the socioeconomic development of a territory in Russia. The authorities do not sufficiently involve various groups of stakeholders in the processes of strategizing the socio-economic development of a region. Economists, sociologists, regionalists, political scientists, and other researchers have developed many theories, models and approaches to analyse the process of strategizing the socio-economic development of a territory of various hierarchical levels, their individual territories, industries, etc. The issues of studying the existing shortcomings of strategic planning for the Russian Federation are relevant despite the successes of recent decades in improving these processes [1; 2, p.
