Relevance of the topic. The necessity of developing a theoretical and methodological approach to assess the state and prospects of sustainable development of regions with varying levels and dynamics of their parameters. Objective. To provide theoretical and methodological framework for researching the dynamics of sustainable development within Russia's administrative-territorial units (regions). Methodology. A spatial-functional approach was employed, utilizing methods of logical, comparative, cluster, and correlation-regression analysis to examine the contemporary dynamics and outlook for sustainable development in Russian regions. Results and conclusions. Based on the analysis of the current situation and its forecasting for the medium term, the parameters of sustainability (sustainable development) of the model region (Yaroslavl Oblast) were established. The study identified trends in the change of sustainability parameters for economic, social, and environmental blocks by their types: inertial, plastic, restorative, and multiplicative. The combination of different types of sustainability requires the development of tools for managing the socio-ecological-economic development of regions, ensuring upward movement despite contradictory actual and forecasted dynamics of its parameters. A special place among the sustainability parameters is occupied by individual deposits in banks — high variability of forecasts indicates their significant dependence on external influences. The scope of application. Monitoring and forecasting the processes of sustainable development of administrative-territorial entities in Russia and their groups.

Relevance of the topic. The need to establish the level of sustainability of Russian regions according to the indicators of social, economic and environmental development. Goal. To assess the level of sustainability of old-industrial regions according to the basic parameters of socio-ecological-economic development. Methodology. Monographic method; cluster and comparative analysis. Results and conclusions. Old-industrial regions form a rather homogeneous group in the sphere of sustainability of socio-ecological-economic development, forming a medium-level cluster. In general, the group is characterised by a low level of integrated sustainability. The low level of sustainability for most indicators requires adjustments in strategic planning documents at the federal and regional levels with a stronger emphasis on increasing the level of income and a system of environmental protection measures. Scope of application. Public administration of federal and regional levels.
