Abstract
Under the conditions of market-economic reforms that have been taking place in Russia over the past 30 years, the sectoral and territorial structure of the country’s economy has changed dramatically. The economy of some regions, that were successful during the Soviet times sagged and failed, while other regions experienced an actual economic take-off. This paper discusses the main aspects of the spatial organization of the Russian Federation and the development of the Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk agglomerations, which are the largest economic centers of Western and Eastern Siberia. To answer the main question of the study-whether thirty years of economic restructuring in the country could affect the leading position of Novosibirsk and make Krasnoyarsk the new regional leader of Siberia, the authors perform the comparative socio-economic analysis of both agglomerations.

Summary
The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world by its area. This fact has led to emergence of wide variety of natural, historical and socio-economic conditions for the development of its regions. One of the main documents in this sense is the Federal Law N 172-Fz of 28 June, 2014 “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation” [4], which provides the development plan for both industry-specific and regional programs, since the country's socio-economic system is a complex of industries, and a territorial-economic system. The content and basic concepts of regional development are defined by such documents as “The Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030” [5], The Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On Approving the Fundamentals of State Policy of Regional Development of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2025” [6] and others. The whole host of documents such as territorial planning schemes, strategies for the socio-economic development of economic regions, macro regions, constituent entities of the Russian Federation and various sectoral programs are based on The Spatial Development Strategy
