62.In the interests of ensuring national security in the medium term, competitive economic sectors are being developed and markets for Russian products are being expanded, the effectiveness of the fuel-energy complex is being enhanced, instruments of public-private partnership are being used to resolve strategic challenges to economic development and to the completion of a basic transport, energy, information, and military infrastructure, especially in the Arctic zone, Eastern Siberia, and the Far East of the Russian Federation.
63.The strengthening of economic security will be supported by the improvement of state regulation of economic growth, by developing conceptual and programmatic documents of interregional and territorial planning, and creating a comprehensive system of risk control, including:
—introduction of an active state anti-inflation, currency, exchange rate, and monetary-credit and taxation-budgetary policy, aimed at import-substitution and supporting the real economy;

64.At the regional level, the stable condition of national security is ensured by the balanced, comprehensive and systemic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
One of the main medium-term directions of national security at the regional level is the creation of mechanisms intended to reduce the level of interregional disparity in the socioeconomic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, by means of balanced territorial development.
In the long term, threats to national security related to the disproportionate levels of development of the Russian regions are prevented by launching a full-scale national innovation system, by creating territorial-industrial areas in the southern regions and Middle Volga, in the Ural region and in Siberia, in the Far East, and in other regions of the Russian Federation.
65.In order to achieve regional development, the forces of national security in cooperation with civil society institutions support the effective implementation of the powers of state bodies of the subjects of the Russian Federation and local self-governing bodies, by coordinating and implementing measures taken at the federal, regional, and municipal levels, directed at the development of the regional economic and social sphere, including the equalization of their budgetary provisions.

—increasing social mobility, the population’s general and professional level of education, and the professional qualities of highly qualified cadres, by means of the accessibility of competitive education.
67.A direct negative effect on national security in terms of science, technology, and education is caused by the country falling behind in the transition towards the next technological order, by dependence on imported deliveries of scientific equipment, instruments, electronic components, and strategic materials, by the unsanctioned transfer abroad of competitive domestic technologies, by unfounded unilateral sanctions against Russia’s scientific and educational institutions, by the insufficient development of the normative legal base and weak motivation to formulate policies around innovation and industry, by the low level of social protection for engineering-technical, professorial, and pedagogical, the low quality of general secondary education and of professional primary, secondary, and higher education.
