Economics and Management2022<p>The article compares the goals and content of the Strategy of the Leningrad region with the guidelines formed in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation as of February 4, 2021 № 68 On assessing the effectiveness of the activities of senior officials (heads of the highest executive bodies of state power) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the activities of the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to form recommendations for correcting the Strategy of the Leningrad region in order to ensure the implementation of the goals and objectives set in accordance with the guidelines of the federal level. As a research method, the article uses diagnostics based on the author's table, which allows assessing the goals and content of regional strategies according to 20 parameters established in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation as of February 4, 2021 № 68, and compliance with the criteria for achieving indicators: the presence of target orientation, quantitative standards, measures to achieve, resource support. The results of the study made it possible to conclude that the Strategy of the Leningrad region is inconsistent with federal standards; according to the results of diagnostics, the strategy of the region scored 36 points. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the document can be classified as a set of events. The work also highlighted those indicators, the achievement of which is spelled out in sufficient detail in the Strategy of the region (for example, the quality of the urban environment), as well as indicators that were not taken into account when developing the document (for example, trust in authorities). The practical significance of the results obtained is determined by the possibility of their application in the practice of strategic regional forecasting and planning. The prospects for the study are to evaluate the strategies of other regions of the Russian Federation on the basis of the author's diagnostic table, in particular, the subjects of the Northwestern Federal District, and conduct a comparative study on this topic.</p>стратегиярегионпланированиестратегическое планированиедиагностикаориентиркритерийstrategyregionplanningstrategic planningdiagnosticslandmarkcriterion[Decree of the President of the Russian Federation as of April 25, 2019 № 193 «On assessing the effectiveness of activities of senior officials (heads of the highest executive bodies of state power) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the activities of executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation».
