 Against the backdrop of growing interest in and the increasing importance of the creative sector of the economy in regions with a high level of socio-eco­nomic development, located primarily in the European part of the country, the development potential of creative industries in the Far East has become a relevant topic of research. The objective of this study is to formulate pro- posals for the development of the creative sector of the economy, taking into account regional characteristics, based on a systematic analysis of issues in the field of creative industries within the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District.
Based on data on job vacancies in the labor market within the creative industries, supplemented by microdata on aggregated revenue and profit and the average headcount of employees at creative enterprises, and taking into account the level of the Russian Regional Index of Creative Industries, a quan­titative analysis is conducted of the development potential of creative industries in the regions of the Far East, as well as a qualitative analysis of the relevance and demand for creative professions and employer requirements. The quali­tative analysis is supported by an in-depth comparative analysis of the regions, taking into account their institutional, infrastructural, and cultural charac­teristics, and an interpretation of the identified patterns is provided. The study drew on data from the RosNavyk platform regardingjob openings by region, as well as financial reports from companies in the SPARK-Interfax information and analytical system.
The study’s findings indicate that constraints on the development of crea­tive industries are linked to a shortage of skilled personnel, insufficient edu­cational attainment, and remoteness from Russia’s central regions. Over­coming these constraints is seen in the development of the export potential of creative companies, the formation of creative specialization, the develop­ment of creative education, and support for joint projects between the Arctic and Far East regions to achieve a synergistic effect. The results of the study contribute to an understanding of the challenges facing the development of creative industries and identify the conditions for their successful operation in today’s reality.

 

 In the context of implementing Federal Law No. 330-FZ “On the Develop­ment of Creative Industries in the Russian Federation ", informal institutions, primarily professional and thematic communities, are acquiring special signi­ficance in the formation of social capital as a resource for regional deve­lopment. This study aims to identify the role and functions of such communities as institutions for the creation, mobilization, and conversion of social capital in the creative industries. The study empirically documents, for the first time, self-reported changes in key components of social capital (trust, networking, access to resources, emotional support) resulting from participation in commu­nities. Based on an online survey of 132 participants in the “PR-sreda" professional community and the thematic club “‘Women’s Territory" in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, it was found that the most pronounced effects are seen in the expansion of professional connections (+90.2%) and increased confidence in the ability to mobilize social resources through the use of other participants’ contacts (+87.9%); an increase in trust (+48.5%) was also re­corded. The results confirm that communities act not only as repositories but also as generative institutions of social capital, fulfilling both instrumental (networking, knowledge) and expressive (support, inclusion) functions, which makes them a strategically important asset for the development of the creative economy at the regional level.
