Institute for the Development of Creative Industries Faculty of Creative Industries The National Research University Higher School of Economics conducted a study, within the framework of which a rating of the development of creative industries in the regions was compiled. This study assessed both the state of creative industries in the region as a whole and the efforts of local authorities to develop the potential of territories.

The study developed and tested a new approach to ranking the subjects of the Russian Federation by the level of development of creative industries. This approach allows us to identify groups of territories, each of which is characterized by its own level of development of both the creative industries themselves and their infrastructure.

The developers divided the regions into 3 rating groups:

Group A – regions with high rates of development of creative industries; in this group, regions are distinguished mainly by a comprehensive system of measures to support creative entrepreneurship.

Group B — regions with lower assessments of creative industries development indicators. With the exception of several regions in this group, at least two elements of the system of measures to support creative industries have been implemented in the regulatory field.

Group C — regions where creative industries development indicators have significant growth potential, but are currently at a low level. With rare exceptions, in the regions of this group the system of measures to support creative entrepreneurship is in the process of formation.

In all of the creative industries considered and studied, the leaders of Group A were Moscow, the Moscow Region, and St. Petersburg. Moscow, the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, and the Sverdlovsk Region occupy leading positions in the development of IT, architecture, design, photo industry, event and advertising industries.

Tyumen Oblast and Krasnodar Krai are among the top 5 in terms of gastronomy development; Voronezh Oblast and Krasnodar Krai are among the top 5 in terms of game design and computer graphics development; Novosibirsk Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, the Republics of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan are among the top 5 in terms of animation and film industries; Krasnodar Krai and Tatarstan are among the top 5 in terms of media and publishing industry development. Chelyabinsk Oblast, Crimea and Tatarstan are among the top 5 in terms of folk crafts and trades industry development; Sverdlovsk Oblast and the Republic of Tatarstan are among the top 5 in terms of television and radio, as well as theatre and performing arts.

Ivanovo and Novosibirsk regions entered the top five leaders of Group A in the development of the fashion industry, Yaroslavl region and the Republic of Tatarstan – museums and galleries, Arkhangelsk region, Krasnodar region and the Republic of Sakha – the music industry.

The leading regions contain 44.3% of organizations implementing specialized activities in the field of design, 76.3% of companies implementing activities in the field of architecture, and up to 69.8% of the number of organizations engaged in the production of folk arts and crafts.

The distribution of companies from various creative industries across regions is uneven. For example, game design is one of the industries with a pronounced geographical concentration – according to statistics, this industry is practically not represented in a number of regions. And in 35 regions of Russia, commercial art galleries and organizations for the retail sale of works of art in commercial art galleries were not registered.

The results of the study confirmed the uneven development of creative industries in the subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as the direct influence of the systemic efforts of regional administrations on the level of development of creative industries. Also important factors in the development of creative industries in the regions are specialized education, tourism and a number of other related industries and areas of activity, in addition, there is a connection between the infrastructure at the regional level and the results of the development of the creative industries themselves.
