Abstract

This article is devoted to Moscow oblast and its interaction with Moscow. The latter largely explains the increased level of investment and retail turnover, and, most importantly, the attractiveness for the population. The share of Moscow oblast in the population and economy of the country is increasing against the background of depopulation of other regions of Central Russia. The uneven distribution of the population within Moscow oblast, which is converging closer to Moscow, is also growing. The maps of fractional municipal units show the dynamics of the population, the direction of its migration, as well as the change in the location of the manufacturing industry, retail trade and agricultural production. This reflects the decline in the role of industry in the municipalities closest to Moscow, while maintaining some large competitive enterprises, and the rapid development of logistics and trade. Industry, as well as agriculture, are relegated to the periphery of the region, where they enter into contradictory relationships with the expanding dacha use of the territory. The cities located to the northeast of Moscow (Mytishchi, Korolev, Pushkino, Ivanteevka, Sergiev Posad, etc.) are considered in more detail, including the change in their economic base and functions in the post-Soviet period.
