Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the regional cluster structure of the Russian economy. To achieve this goal the following things were done. The cluster groups’ kernels structure, which had been developed by the European cluster observatory, was adapted for the Russian economy. Statistical databases were created with the number of employees and number of companies for the regions of the Russian Federation over the period of 2008–2012. The geographical concentration of cluster groups was assessed. The cluster groups developed in the Russian regions, for example in St. Petersburg, were identified according to the European cluster observatory criteria. Detection of positive agglomerative effects of concentration or urbanization in advanced cluster groups of the region allows assessing the innovative potential of the region development. The results of the study can be used to substantiate actions following the regional cluster policy.
