EXPERIENCE OF TYPOLOGY OF MUNICIPALITIES IN EASTERN SIBERIA: COMBINING TERRITORIAL AND SECTORAL APPROACHES
The aim of the study is to create a typology of municipal formations in the regions of Eastern Siberia for the purpose of assessing the impact of large investment projects on their socio-economic development; to compare the resulting types with existing typologies of the regions studied at the micro level, as well as with E.E. Leizerovich’s microdistricts. The author’s methodology takes into account both the characteristics of the territory (level of development, transport accessibility) and the characteristics of large investment projects being implemented there (focus – new construction or development of existing facilities, specialization).
The resulting typology showed that underdeveloped, difficult-to-access, and moderately accessible municipalities are characterized by raw material development – the development of new deposits or the expansion of production at existing deposits with a focus on exports. In developed areas, investments in fixed capital are more often directed towards the development of existing facilities, although most of them are also reoriented from the domestic market to exports. Examples of deepening raw material processing in underdeveloped areas, as well as the start of mineral extraction in accessible developed areas, are few and far between.
Existing typologies often focus on factors of socio-economic development of territories and do not take into account the vector of their development, while the author’s typology is consistent with T.V. Litvinenko’s typology of resource use transformations, excluding options for the degradation of territorial and economic systems due to the author’s focus on new large-scale investment projects.

Problems of Municipal Administration in Russia and Ukraine
This article analyzes problems of municipal administration basing on a survey on a comparative program for municipal managers in Russia and Ukraine. Although the two countries have different social and economic situations, we observe similar weaknesses in local administration. The paper shows how imperfect the current laws and regulations are, because they are limiting the possibilities of local government. We draw a conclusion that it is necessary to devise a science-based concept of municipal reforms which would be relevant to constitutional principles of local government organization and would provide a reliable legal base for municipal administration

Information and communications technologies: how they are used by municipal authorities in the Altay Krai
The paper identifies the indices of how information and communications technologies are used by local authorities and other municipal institutions. The values of such indices are calculated for some city districts and municipalities of the Altay Krai. We show the difference between the application of the information and communications technologies by city districts and other municipalities in an agro-industrial region through using the data for the Altay Krai. The measures undertaken by the Altay Krai authorities to overcome such differences are presented

Evaluating inequalities in the municipal development
The paper analyzes economic inequalities in the development of municipal units, and compares them with those concerning the subjects of the Russian Federation. We can state that the economic inequalities within the RF subject may be higher by some indicators than those between the RF subjects; and also can state that there are some municipal units observed in different RF subj ects and characterized by equal indicators. This proves the existence of trans-border regions that are economically similar. We also identify the scales of backwardness existing in most regions in comparison with regional capitals and industrial centers, and show their steady character.
