The distribution of productive forces in the spatial economy of Russia is unique: the regions of the Russian Federation are located within eleven time zones, the Russian Federation includes 85 subjects located in various natural and geographical conditions, there are no cities with a population of 2 to 5 million people, 85% cities have a population of less than 100 thousand people. Geographical individualities, climatic diversity and the consequences of the planned economy of the Soviet period determine the relevance of studying the features of the spatial imbalance of Russian cities and regions. The purpose of the article is to assess the spatial equilibrium in the regions of Russia. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the method for assessing the spatial balance is based on determining the potential of spatial proposals and the intensity of demand for development with the determination of the state of spatial equilibrium. Based on the results of the calculations, it was concluded that Moscow and the Moscow region have the maximum potential, since industrial, financial, labor, and scientific resources are concentrated on their territory. High values were obtained for oil-producing regions (Nenets, Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets autonomous okrugs). The intensity of demand for development is widely differentiated: a high level is determined for Moscow and St. Petersburg, the remaining regions have a low level of this indicator. The balance of a high level (1.15 %) is present only in one subject - the city of Moscow. Overuse of potential (1.15%) is observed in St. Petersburg. A strong lag in development is characteristic of 6.9 % of the regions; lagging behind in the development of 18.39 % of regions; 72.41 % of Russian regions have a low balance. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the results obtained by the authorities in terms of preparing regional strategies and programs for socio-economic development aimed at improving the quality of life of the population.
