Ecological and economic development of Russian regions. Topic . Assessment of spatial and functional features of ecological and economic activity of Russian regions.Purpose. Identification of the level of ecological and economic activity and the balance of Russian regions in terms of economic, social and environmental properties. Methodology. Logical, comparative, economic and statistical, and cluster analysis. Results . Five virtual clusters (groups of regions) were formed with a sufficient level of confidence and significance of parameters. The analysis of the ratio of economic, social and environmental parameters made it possible to assess the activity and balance of regional groups within and between the respective spheres. The correlation of ten parameters (three social, three economic, and four environmental) showed that at the beginning of the analyzed period (2005), there were two groups of the most active regions with high values of indicators of ecological and economic activity. Applicationarea . Economic and environmental policy of regional authorities. Conclusions . In General, there was no link between environmental and economic activity and balance at the level of regional groups. During the period up to 2018, there were noticeable changes in the configuration of regional groups and their environmental and economic parameters. The level of balance of active clusters decreased and increased in the clusters of medium and low activity.
