Subject. This article discusses the importance of self-development of regions for the country's economy.
Objectives. The article aims to identify the reasons for the decline in interest in the idea of self-development of regions and search for approaches to its mainstreaming.
Methods. For the study, I used statistical and analog procedure approaches.
Results. The article names and describes the main factors hindering the self-development of the Russian Federation regions.
Conclusions. It is necessary to change the strategy of the political and economic infrastructure arrangement of the country to promote a model implying that strong regions do construct the basis of a strong center and power of the country. The methodological approaches to encouraging the regions to switch over to the self-development mode should be adjusted.
