Abstract

This article analyzes the characteristics of the formation of clusters and cluster policy in Russia’s regions. Improving the efficiency of the organization of the economic territory of the space – is the most important problem of the modern development in the context of globalization. The article describes the stages of cluster policy and cluster initiatives in Russia. Regional features of creation of clusters in the country have been considered and was recognized the specificity of their activities by industries. Features of the application of tools to stimulate the clustering process of the Russian economy at the present stage of development were highlighted in the article. It is noted that the formation of cluster forms in the Russian economy has a close relationship with the spatial forms of production organization that emerged in the Soviet period. At the same time, and in the modern economy of Russia the development of clusters is not possible without support from the state (the federal government). It highlighted the special role of technology-innovative special economic zones, emerging technology platforms and program-target method of functioning of innovation and support regional clusters in the development of clusters in Russia. However, it emphasizes that the formation of clusters should be carried out not at the direction of the federal government (or «top»). It must be carried out within the framework of the implementation of regional strategies for the development of Russian regions. And it must be carried out with the obligatory account of the potential and needs of each region, where a cluster is formed.
