Problems of classified cities
Analysed is the economy of classified spatial-administrative units of Russia formed in the Soviet period to provide national security with a nuclear shield. The change of priorities in favour of nuclear disarmament has brought financial and economic instability to major enterprises of the Atomic Ministry and economic depression to the classified cities. The author examines reasons for which the law of conversion is inapplicable to major defence enterprises. He thinks that the principle of scientific-technical cycle (life cycle) in creation and development of missile-nuclear shield of the USSR should be extended to classified cities too, where new types of weapons are designed and produced.
