Abstract

The article discusses three issues that became central to the discussions at the Gaidar Forum-2019, these are regionaldevelopment and the relationship between the Center and the subjects of the Federation after the start of a new political cycle inRussia (after the election of the President of the Russian Federation); fulfillment of the state's social obligations; improvement ofpublic administration. The author presents the opinions of leading experts, and also shows collisions of opinions, inconsistency of theses andproposed plans, makes a generalization about the fact that a new (for the Russian Federation) model of government is currentlybeing formed - a distribution model, when decisions are made at the Center and there is no much space for independence neitherfor the regions, nor for the citizens for making their own decisions, choosing their own strategies of action. The key problem for Russia's progress, as in previous years, and the participants of the Gaidar forum, and after them, theauthor sees in the improvement of administrative power, the state civil service. However, as the speeches of the largest expertsin this area have shown, there are no significant and sharp reforms planned, and therefore, there is a painstaking work toreconfigure the existing management system.
