Topicality of the research One of the important tendencies in economic policy became the obvious increase of attention of public and regional authorities to problems of strategic development, which was determined by lack of visible final results of reforms (economic growth, growth of living standards, etc.). Russian government actively seeks for ways of solving this problem, but achievement of this goal is related to many difficulties, including difficulties with development of socially oriented strategy of economic growth. Research of the formulated problem was performed by many Russian and foreign scientists: (R.D. Barro, A. Smith, D. Ricardo, J.M. Keynes, D.S. Traceman, L.I. Abalkin, I. Ansoff, O.S. Vikhanskiy, V.P. Krasovskiy, N.D. Kondratyev, R.S. Kaplan, R.M. Nureeva, R.A. Fatkhutdinov, et al.). At that, there are various opinions for determination of key notions of strategic development, and methodological foundations of the process of formation of economic strategy are insufficiently developed. Therefore, there is a need for theoretical consideration of processes which stipulate activation of socially oriented direction of economic growth and objective necessity for characteristics of peculiarities of formation of socially oriented strategy of economic growth of national economy, aimed at account of specifics and state of economy through diagnostics of the level of its infrastructural provision. Problem setting National economy of the Russian Federation within historical period of existence is characterized by a range of stages which could be tracked by dynamics of GDP (Figure 1). After collapse of the Soviet Union, the economy stagnated, which was caused by destruction of existing economic relations between the republics and change of principles of public life management. The year 1999 became the decisive one. Starting from that time, a complex of measures of stabilization character began to be realized within radical market transformations--which led to significant growth of GDP. Economic development of national economy from 1999 till now faced two crises. The first crisis of 2008-2009 was caused by the global tendencies. The second crisis, which began in 2013 and continues up to now, was caused by the political events in Ukraine and Russia's positions as to solving conflict issues. As a result of the crisis, which began in 2014, contribution of gross accumulation into growth of Russian GDP became negative, constituting 1.6 %. Analysis of causes of change of economic growth rates during these periods showed the following: --economic growth had mostly extensive character; --at present, a certain limit is reached in possibility for using raw-material model of economic growth of Russian economy, and there's necessity for transition to intensive development through conduct of the policy of import substitution, implementation of innovations and leading technologies into economy; --Russian potential does not conform to the scale of national production and dynamics of economic development, achieved by now. Analysis of results of research by Russian scientists (Koptelov, 2014 & Stroeva & Mironenko & Merkulov & Chubarets, 2015 & Stroeva & Shinkareva & Lyapina & Petruchina, 2015) allowed determining several important problems in economy which hinder economic growth in Russia and do not allow using all potential of the country. Let us view them. 1. Structure and growth rates of Russian export. Up to recent times, emphasis was put on the main component of Russian export--raw materials (oil, gas, etc.). However, reduction of global process for them does not provide significant addition to growth rate of GDP, as it was before 2008. The solution is to shift accents to high-yield products, which raw products are not. Realization of this problem leads to gradual change of situation. …
