The article discusses the key economic and geographical problems of the Russian regions, draws attention to theaspects of depopulation and migration within the country, the asymmetry of economic and social development. The constructionand launch of new high-speed railways, which form the transport framework of the country, is considered as the object of analysis,the key and the most effective solution to this issue in the long term. The creation of such a framework and a network of high-speed communication lines - high-speed rails (HSR), as the experience of developed countries in Europe (Spain, France) and Asia(Japan, China) shows, will greatly enhance the social and geographical mobility of citizens, will create additional channels forbusiness development and international trade and accelerate economic country growth. The combination of the proposed‘channels of resettlement' will make it possible to form a rigid spatial framework of the country, ensuring its territorial integrity anda uniformly high level of development in the long term. The proposed system, taking into account the rapid transport accessibility,enables the homogeneous development of a high level of the entire territory of Russia and its individual regions, regardless oftheir location and the number of permanent residents. The phased implementation of the proposed system for the construction of high-speed infrastructure and (in the future) resettlement channels in Russia will contribute to the planned development of theentire territory of the country, labor migration and increased activity of the population in the East, which in turn will lead to thedevelopment of industry, tourism, agriculture and other business.
