In the article the relevance of the topic of using and improving the methodological base in order to obtain in advance the necessary indicators on the deterioration of the situation in the regions and the corresponding adjustment of processes in response to changes in the socio-economic situation is noted. The basic indicators are specific indicators of small business turnover and investments in fixed assets, as well as the degree of depreciation of fixed assets. Trend analysis is carried out according to several parameters, which allow to identify average results on key national economic processes within selected time intervals and change of level of interregional differentiation. In order to increase the objectivity of the conclusions, the stability values of specific indicators in different monetary courses have been compared. The diagnostic tools used are based on econometric methods and are supported by graphical interpretation of the data. The possible directions of application of the developed methodology for assessing the stress resistance of socio-economic systems are determined.

The three-indicator analysis for a long period of time of the usage efficiency of non-material resources in regions of the Russian Federation is considered in the article. Comparison of territories is presented in various evaluative dimension including the current, average and dynamic estimated parameters. On the basis of the carried-out diagnostics the social and economic systems showing unsatisfactory or, vice-versa the most successful results of development are revealed. The all-Russian trend of development of ‘economy of knowledge' is defined. A three-factor model of regional distribution is presented on the basis of indicators of the efficiency of extraction of intangible resources. The authors consider the spheres of possible practical application of the developed methodology.

The issues of regional imbalance of development of different territories attract the attention of all professionals involved in the socio-economic problems. The researchers consolidated the view that these imbalances pose real risks and threats for developing countries. For identification of problem areas, causes of their formation and ways of overcoming there are quite a number of techniques. However, perhaps it is the multiplicity of approaches in this area that allows to select key performance indicators to diagnose the development of the regions. The article tested the author's approach for the diagnosis of the level of development of innovation-resource potential of the Russian regions. On the basis of official statistics the calculation of current, average and dynamic development of regions and Federal districts was made. The assessment of variation of critical indicators over a long period of time was given. The interrelation between economic and infrastructural factors was stated. The key directions of development of the depressive territories are outlined.

In article the solution of a problem of classification of regions on level of innovative functioning on the basis of statistical comparison of a set of criteria is offered. Indicators of productivity and efficiency of innovative activity are involved in calculations. The additional criteria, allowing to characterize stability and balance of scientific and technical development of territories in the Central federal district of the Russian Federation are defined.

The author studies the level of food supply in a state as one of the crucial factors of economic security formation and the latter's relation to the degree of employment of the agricultural potential and the development of resource opportunities in the regions, providing suggestions concerning the assessment of the development of various types of agricultural activity in the regions and identification of prospects for further development.
