Abstract: The relevance of this research is substantiated by the fact that currently there exists a number of the state conceptual documents on the development of economic security of Russia; however, the unified organizational-economic mechanism of strategic management of the country’s economic security is yet to be developed. Within the framework of this article, the authors selected the meso-level analysis. The object of study became the Perm Krai and Vladimir Oblast (the small cities were chosen for demonstrating the regional level of the system of economic security of Russia). An important selection criterion was the remoteness from the capital region. Verification of dependence of the separate structural indexes of components on the mechanism of economic security of Russia will allow more efficiently managing the regional development – the basic of economic security of Russia particularly forms at the regional level. The absence of the scale of existing indexes and their assessment prior to this research confines the development of regional potential, because the strategic management requires the rational allocation of the provided resources meeting the actual needs in order to ensure the necessary balance – the suggested scale of the level of structural indexes is aimed  at solving this issue. The authors observe the intercorrelation between not only the components of organizational-economic mechanism of strategic management of economic security, but also each of the structural indexes that form the importance of components in the mechanism. The subsequent vector of research can become the determination of the entire list of significant indexes of all components of the organizational-economic mechanism of strategic management of economic security of Russia, as well as the emergence of the analytical model of the system of economic security, which will be an effective instrument for formation of the development strategy of Russia.

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.
