On measures of the Government of the Russian Federation
on the implementation of the priority program
"Comprehensive development of single-industry towns"
Having heard information from the First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation on the measures of the Government of the Russian Federation to implement the priority program “Integrated development of single-industry towns”, the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation notes the following.
Ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of single-industry towns of the Russian Federation is one of the most important tasks of the state, a necessary condition for a decent life for citizens living in these settlements.
The priorities outlined in the messages of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, and the tasks set in the decrees of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 7, 2012, determined the development of the priority program “Integrated development of single-industry towns”, the passport of which was approved by the presidium of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Strategic Development and priority projects.
The list of single-industry municipalities of the Russian Federation (single-industry towns), approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 29, 2014 No. 1398-r, includes 319 municipalities in 61 constituent entities of the Russian Federation in which
13.5 million people (about 10 percent of the country's population). The economically active population is
7.3 million people. The average unemployment rate in single-industry towns exceeds the Russian average by more than 1.5 times.
The issue of restructuring and development of single-industry municipalities, the economy of which is completely dependent on one city-forming enterprise, is currently quite acute due to undeveloped infrastructure, outdated technologies and deterioration of fixed assets of city-forming enterprises, low level of cooperation between industry enterprises and other factors. At the same time, the program for the integrated development of single-industry towns is based on such basic advantages as a high level of general education of the population, the presence of scientific and engineering schools in a number of promising areas of industry, a favorable geographical location and an extensive domestic market.
Along with the strong dependence of the economy of single-industry towns on changing market conditions, the main problems of their development include risks when releasing employees of city-forming enterprises, the outflow of qualified personnel, infrastructure restrictions for creating new businesses, low investment attractiveness of single-industry towns, low quality of the urban environment, and also, in some cases, high level of environmental pollution.
In the current situation, it is the diversification of the economy of single-industry municipalities, including the creation of non-core industries with new jobs, as well as improving the quality of the urban environment in single-industry towns that can have a positive effect.
Currently, the non-profit organization “Fund for the Development of Single-Industry Towns” has been created and operates. To implement its main tasks, it is planned to allocate budgetary allocations from the federal budget in the amount of 6.5 billion rubles in 2017, 4.7 billion rubles in 2018, 4.7 billion rubles in 2019.
In order to stimulate internal entrepreneurial resources and increase the attractiveness of single-industry towns for external investors, such a mechanism is used
support as an opportunity to create territories of advanced socio-economic development in the territories of single-industry towns. Residents of territories of rapid socio-economic development in single-industry towns are provided with benefits on corporate income tax, corporate property tax and land tax. Reduced rates of insurance contributions to state extra-budgetary funds are established. To date, territories of rapid socio-economic development have been created in 14 single-industry towns, in the territories of which 20 residents are registered, which should help create more than 5,100 jobs and attract
1.5 billion rubles by 2026.
The implementation of these measures, as well as other activities of the priority program “Comprehensive Development of Single-Industry Towns” will help create conditions for the launch of new alternative industries that will contribute to the diversification of the economy of single-industry towns and, as a result, reducing the number of municipalities classified as single-industry ones.

The issue of the functioning of PSEDA in the republic was considered
On August 2, 2019, a working meeting was held at the Government House of the Republic of Belarus on the effectiveness of the functioning of territories of priority socio-economic development (PSED) under the chairmanship of the acting Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan - Chief of Staff of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan Ilshat Tazhitdinov. The event, organized by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Belarus, was held with the participation of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Government of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Sheldyaev, Acting Minister of Economic Development of the Republic of Belarus Liliya Mazitova, representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Belarus, as well as heads and deputy heads of municipalities in a video conference format.
It should be noted that today residents are registered in the TASED “Belebey”, “Kumertau” and “Neftekamsk”. There are a total of 23 residents, of which 9 are in Belebey, 12 in Kumertau and 2 in Neftekamsk. They invested about 2 billion rubles and created over 1,000 jobs.
Ilshat Tazhitdinov noted in his opening remarks that in order to attract residents implementing investment projects in the territories of single-industry towns, there are support tools at the federal level provided by the development institute “Single-Industry Town Development Fund”, which municipalities need to actively develop. This organization provides preferential loans at an interest rate of 0 to 5% and co-finances the construction of engineering infrastructure necessary for the implementation of the project.
Representatives of municipalities reported on the achievement of target performance indicators for the functioning of PSEDAs and the application of support measures for the Single-Industry Towns Development Fund.
The Acting Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Belarus - Chief of Staff of the Government of the Republic of Belarus noted the need for the administrations of single-industry towns to carry out systematic and constant work in this direction, including comprehensively informing potential investors about the current tools for supporting the Single-Industry Towns Development Fund.
At the end of the event, in order to fulfill the KPI indicators of the effectiveness of the functioning of the TASED, Ilshat Tazhitdinov instructed the heads of administrations of single-industry towns to intensify work to attract residents (investors) and apply support measures for the Single-Industry Towns Development Fund, as well as to ensure high-quality support for investment projects. In addition, it was instructed to develop action plans to achieve PSEDA target performance indicators for their functioning for each municipality separately.
Representatives of federal and regional authorities, development and business institutions highly appreciated the results of the implementation of the priority program “Integrated development of single-industry towns” in 2017. Its discussion took place on February 15 at the session “Single-Industry Towns - Designing the Future,” organized by the Single-Industry Towns Development Fund as part of the Russian Investment Forum in Sochi. New directions for the implementation of the program in 2018-2025 were also outlined.
“According to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, over the 2 years of implementation of the program, 244.5 thousand jobs were created in single-industry towns, of which 144.4 thousand are permanent, the rest are temporary,” said the Deputy Chairman of Vnesheconombank, head of the priority program “Comprehensive Development of Single-Industry Towns” Irina Makieva.
She also said that by January 1, 2018, 285 single-industry towns had renovated the central streets recommended by residents, implemented the activities of the priority program “5 steps for improving everyday life” in 170 cities - they put parks, squares, playgrounds, and embankments in order. We renovated entrance and waiting areas in clinics in 266 cities. Last year, new ambulances of various classes were sent to all 319 monosettlements in Russia, in total over 400 vehicles.
“One of the most important events of 2017 was the completion of a two-year training program for teams managing single-industry town development projects. During the training, 1,546 specialists were certified under the professional retraining program. Teams from all cities have been formed, trained and are already working. Now we need to accumulate successful experience for its further replication,” noted I. Makieva.
Governors and mayors of cities confirmed the high effectiveness of the training program. “We began to approach solving tasks and problems in a completely different way. Of course, a single team should work in the city, uniting the regional municipal and city-forming levels. And it is very important that we involve the population in dialogue. Because the heads of single-industry towns should hear, listen and do what people want, and not what they thought up themselves, without leaving their offices,” said Alexander Ustinov, mayor of the city of Krasnoturinsk in the Sverdlovsk region.
General Director of the Single-Industry Towns Development Fund Ilya Krivogov spoke about supporting investment projects in the territory of single-industry settlements.
“Over the past 3 years, the state has provided the Fund with over 18 billion rubles in the form of agreements with single-industry towns, of which we have already transferred 12 million to the regions - these are 29 co-financing agreements, another 8 investment projects are financed on a repayable basis. Together with governors and regional heads, we are creating a new economy, we are working quite hard, but fairly, because it is budget money,” noted I. Krivogov. - The investment of 12 billion made it possible to attract about 40 billion rubles of investment from enterprises that are being created in single-industry towns. Over 8 thousand new jobs have appeared, here we are talking primarily about medium and large businesses, since there are other support tools for small businesses.”
In 2017, the Single-Industry Town Development Fund actively lobbied for government support for small businesses through the Ministry of Economic Development. Some of the projects were transferred to the SME Corporation, and they have already been financed. Cooperation is underway with the grant fund and with presidential grants, thanks to which many mayors of single-industry towns were able to “reach out” to federal development institutions. This work will continue.
“In 2018, the state provided another 14 billion rubles to the Mongorod Development Fund for the further development of support programs,” said I. Krivogov. - A pool of projects is now being formed. The partners will be the SME Corporation, the Industrial Development Fund, Sberbank, VTB, Rosselkhozbank, UniCredit Bank. We have learned to structure joint transactions with leading institutions, and now we are quite actively entering the territories of single-industry towns.”
As for non-financial support, line managers of the project office of the Urban Development Fund are assigned to all cities. With their participation, by the end of 2017, development programs for each of the 319 monosettlements were formed, and the first results of their implementation are already available. At the same time, along with economic development, emphasis is placed on improving and improving the quality of life of the population.
Many session participants noted the urgent need to work with the younger generation. An important step here was the launch of a social project by the CSKA football club, within the framework of which more than 1,000 children from single-industry towns will take part in away football master classes. The best will go to study at the CSKA Academy. The first master class was held on February 13, 2018 in the city of Kotovsk, Tambov region. According to the Governor of the Tambov Region, Alexander Nikitin, such an initiative should be extended to other sports, in particular hockey.
Another new project, presented at the session by Strelka KB partner Alexey Muratov, will help curb the outflow of young people from single-industry towns.
“Now almost 2 million schoolchildren and students are forced to gather in parking lots, playgrounds and entryways. A network of youth centers created on the basis of inefficiently used buildings, for example, abandoned industrial sites or cultural centers, will help change the situation. It is important to create a truly interesting and useful space with educational programs and thoughtful design. Similar centers have already appeared in Naberezhnye Chelny, Nizhnekamsk, Novotroitsk,” noted A. Muratov.
Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Savva Shipov emphasized that it is necessary to improve the approach to the creation of territories of priority socio-economic development (PSED). Also, in his opinion, the Spatial Development Strategy, which will be launched in 2018, will allow single-industry towns to receive support and develop in the right direction. The introduction of new technologies also plays an important role.
“You can build effective local teams, but if you don't give them the opportunity to use new technologies, it will be more difficult to achieve significant results. The Ministry of Economic Development has prepared a proposal to include a new block to improve state and municipal management in the Digital Economy program. We are waiting for recommendations from the teams of single-industry towns; all of them will be considered, and the most successful ones will form the basis for changes,” said S. Shipov.
At the end of the discussion, Irina Makieva presented plans for further work on a comprehensive program for the development of single-industry towns in 2018 - 2025.
“It was decided that the best 10 single-industry towns based on the results of 2017 and 2018 will take part in a new training program for leaders, which will be specially developed together with educational institutions, expert and business councils,” said I. Makieva.
It is planned to create territorial development centers that will aggregate all regional support measures. Regions will be recommended to introduce quotas for funds (10%) to support single-industry towns in all regional programs - following the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
An initiative will be put forward to extend the “Zemsky Doctor” and “Zemsky Paramedic” programs to all single-industry towns. There are also plans to develop the material and technical base of children's clinics and medical organizations using funds from the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund. Projects and activities to promote a healthy lifestyle among the population will be further developed.
City-forming enterprises, having their own social responsibility programs, will be more actively involved in the development of territories and, together with the city mayor, select areas for priority implementation.
When working with children, emphasis will be placed not only on sports, but also on patriotic education. Also among the priority areas is the development of inbound and domestic tourism in single-industry towns, the activation of the volunteer movement and other socially significant initiatives.
The non-profit organization “Monotown Development Fund” was established by Vnesheconombank in October 2014. The Fund’s work is aimed at creating conditions for creating new jobs not related to the city-forming enterprise, and attracting investment in single-industry towns through the implementation of infrastructure and investment projects. The Fund co-finances the expenses of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities during the construction or reconstruction of infrastructure facilities necessary for new investment projects, participates in the financing of investment projects, performs the functions of a project office for the development of single-industry towns, forms teams that manage development projects for single-industry towns to stabilize their socio-demographic and economic status. The activities of the Fund are regulated by the rules for the provision of subsidies from the federal budget, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 11, 2014 No. 1186.
