The purpose of this research is а study of the priorities of reforms implemented by President Putin from 2000 to 2008, based on the materials of three medium-term socio-economic development programs. The researcher used various modern methods of historical and political science research, including: content and comparative analysis, the method of comparative institutional analysis. Results. At the first stage, from 2000 to 2003, the government declared the solution of social problems - levelling the poverty level, raising incomes, solving problems with social benefits, and only at the second and third stages it was planned to implement administrative and economic reforms. In the second program, the priority was shifted towards economic and institutional transformations. In the third document, on the one hand, the focus of the Government’s attention returned to the social agenda and on the other, the country’s leadership did not declare new reforms, only continuing the ones being implemented. Discussion and Conclusion. The relevant decisions on prioritization and implementation of reforms could be motivated by several factors: firstly, successful economic stabilization, and secondly, strengthening the power and economic foundations of the state. Thirdly, the decrease in motivation to reform the economy could be caused by the new rental income (oil and gas).

The original materials illustrating the problem have been represented using an example of industrial development of the Priangarsk districts of the Irkutsk Oblast and the Krasnoyarsky Krai. The relative risk of children’s morbidity in the zones of the aluminum production increases by 1.4-1.7 times based on the materials of the social-hygienic monitoring, the nature observations and the results of the numerous experiments using mathematical models.
