Abstract: The subject of this research is the influence of the aggravated international situation and crisis economic phenomena upon the energy complex of the Russian Federation. On one hand, there had emerged a number of new threats to the energy security of the Russian Federation, which carry foreign policy and foreign economic character.

The work demonstrates that the problem of energy security must be viewed in the context of ensuring national security to the Russian Federation. The author suggests introducing into the National Security Strategy an additional category of “energy aspects of national security”. The article also underlines the importance of measures aimed at restoration and development of the national production of energy technologies, increase of economic efficiency and functionality of the energy complex, as well as formulation of the approaches towards financing of energy complex in Russia under the conditions of the limited capital market.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the organizational and economic state of the Russian research complex. The main goal of the work is to describe the current state of the scientific and research base in Russia. In the course of the work, methods of logical and statistical analysis, synthesis, data extrapolation and forecasting were used. The methodological basis of the study was the work of domestic and awakened scientists, legislative and regulatory acts of state authorities. The article analyzes the costs of research and development in the Russian Federation, including comparative characteristics in relation to the country's GDP. To identify the research potential, the general structure of organizations performing scientific research and development by sector of activity in the Russian Federation was presented. Analysis of the sources of financing has made it possible to determine the prevailing influence of the public sector, while in the advanced economies, industrial enterprises are the "locomotive" of development. The application of research results is possible at the level of the formation of a scientific and practical basis for determining critical points in the development of the research complex of Russia. In the course of the work, methods of logical and statistical analysis, synthesis, data extrapolation and forecasting were used. The methodological basis of the study was the work of domestic and awakened scientists, legislative and regulatory acts of state authorities. The novelty of the study is to justify the need for the formation of an updated management system for Russia's research complex, taking into account the identified point indicators that characterize its current state. At the end of the study, it was concluded that the state of Russia's research complex does not allow the economy to move to an innovative type of development in a timely manner without additional measures aimed at attracting private investors to the research sector.
