The object of this article is to build forecasts of the development of Kazan, Naberezhnye Chelny and Almetyevsk agglomerations, located in the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan. The agglomerations’ formation has firmly taken place as one of the main strategic goals of our country’s development over the past few years. According to forecasts, almost 80% of GDP growth until 2020 will be provided by agglomerations. In this regard, it is especially important to study the existing agglomerations from the position of the achieved and future level of development. The results of the analysis of these agglomerations’ state over the past decade have presented in the article, on the basis of which the forecasts of the development of these agglomerations in the medium term until 2020 were calculated. The research methodology is the least squares method and the moving average method, comparing the results of which allowed us to make more adequate forecasts. When using each of the methods, also there was carried out the analysis of the forecast’ average relative error. A comparative analysis of the situation and agglomerations’ forecasts showed that Kazan agglomeration can be considered the most developed, because most of the estimated indicators show growth. Naberezhnye Chelny and Almetyevsk agglomerations lag behind Kazan agglomeration especially in demographic indicators. In general, all three studied agglomerations in the formation of their development plans should focus their attention primarily on level of migration, the volume of investment in fixed capital per capita, GDP per capita factors. The conducted analysis allowed to identify the main trends in the development of each agglomeration, as well as to formulate recommendations for the management of these agglomerations development.

In modern conditions, of great importance is the concept of «saving citizens» and their impact on the economic situation in the country, which largely depends on the correctness of their management. Savings are a source of financial wealth of citizens, which is manifested not only in monetary form, but also in tangible and intangible assets. The article reveals conceptual approaches to the definition of categories of «citizens’ savings» and «management». It has noted that in most scientific sources savings are considered from the point of view of the individual, but it does not take into account the importance of savings in the economic growth of the country. On the base of the identified approaches, the author’s definition of the category of «citizens’ savings» has given.

From the position of the modern theory of crisis management, a hypothesis of the presence of a critical point in the development of a socio-economic system has proposed. Depending on the severity of the crisis, limited resources and time, the relationship between the degree of controllability and destructible system has considered. The degree of crisis affects the replenishment of the resource mass of the system, as a result, the available lack of time and resources leads to loss of controllability and at the same time an increase in the probability of destruction. Moreover, if at a certain moment we start implementing anti-crisis measures, then we manage not to lose control over the managed processes and reduce the losses from the crisis and, most importantly, to preserve the stability of the socio-economic system. The feedback of the functions of controllability and destructibility makes it possible to determine the critical point of crisis processes in the socio-economic system. Constant monitoring and evaluation of the position of the critical point contribute to forecasting, early identification of crisis processes, and early preparation for them in order to ensure the sustainable and continuous functioning of socio-economic systems at various levels. The monitoring indicator is the basis for building an anti-crisis monitoring system. Such a parameter should be an integral indicator, represented by a set of variables, each of which reflects the state of the enterprise from different angles. This indicator allows you to assess the probability of destruction of the enterprise and determine the place on the trajectory of its development. One of the options for determining the degradability of the system in the article proposes to use bankruptcy assessment models. The provisions of the theory of crisis management in finding the critical point of crisis processes in socio-economic systems have developed.

The issues of management and financial and economic activities of state, municipal and private institutions have considered in the article. Mostly in our paper we talk about state and municipal institutions, which, in contrast to private ones, are divided into types (autonomous, budget and state). Each type has a number of unique features that, depending on the situation, give it strong or weak features. The type of institution is mainly due to its scope of detail and the purpose for which it has created. The most progressive type is considered an autonomous institution. It has greater freedom of financial and economic activity (it can open not only personal accounts in the treasury, but accounts in credit institutions, purchases on the basis of regulations approved by the supervisory board, etc.) and has a collegial body represented by a supervisory board consisting of representatives of state and municipal government, workers and independent specialists. The actions of official duty institutions, created for the execution of works and the execution of state (municipal) functions are most constrained. The average «freedom» is endowed with budgetary institutions established to fulfill the state (municipal) assignment in the spheres of education, health, culture, science, social protection, employment of the population, physical culture, sports and other fields. This is the main part of kindergartens, schools, houses of culture, theaters, museums, leisure centers, sports clubs and schools, clinics, hospitals, dispensaries, higher educational institutions, scientific institutes. They are most prevalent in the Russian Federation at both the federal and regional (subjects of the federation) and municipal levels.

The subject of the article’s study are the statistics on the volume of sales of four hundred leading Russian companies, consolidated by media holding «Expert», on the eve of the adoption of the order of the Russian Federation Government (July 28, 2017 № 1632-p) on the approval of the national program «Digital economy of the Russian Federation». The main program’s objective is the process transformation of real export-oriented Russia economy into a digital economy. The transformation process implies gross domestic product should be generated by the production of mainly «virtual» goods. Thus, the economy digitalization implies the reorientation the productive forces of society from the production and transformation of material objects to the production and transformation of numerical arrays sphere that are stored, processed and transmitted through modern IT-infrastructure. The extent to which the economy and industry of the Russian Federation are ready for such a transformation, the state of social and productive forces to support the process of the real export-oriented economy of Russia transformation into a digital one, can be indirectly estimated by the sales volume of leading Russian companies. It is assumed that the higher the share of IT-oriented industries and companies in the total volume of leading domestic companies, the higher the degree of transformation of resource-oriented and material-intensive economy into digital economy. If we assume that banking services constitute the main part of the modern digital economy along with IT companies and mobile data transmission companies, their share in comparison with the resource companies of the top ten leading Russian companies will be more than a third percents of the sales volume. That situation makes it possible to talk about a confident process of digital transformation of the Russian economy.

The ecological crisis, which so suddenly stroke the human habitat, made significant adjustments in the relationship between nature and man, forced to reconsider all the significant developments of human civilization and is extremely actualized today social and environmental issues at all levels: regional, national, global. In this regard, the ecological issues, as a result of man’s consumer attitude towards the entire natural system, are today among the most discussed topics in scientific publications, in the media space, and in scientific discourse. The thoughtless, unlimited satisfaction of the growing needs of people has led to an irreversible change in the properties of landscapes, the depletion and loss of minerals, the disappearance of many species of the animal and plant world. Unsolved problems in the field of ecology, at the moment, reflect the reality of the twenty-first century. Solving the environmental problems, that have arisen, depends not so much on the level of development of production, science and technology, but on the ecological culture of the population, on understanding the sources, nature and ways out of the current crisis situation, on everyone’s participation in preserving natural resources, minimizing waste products.In the article, based on the study of the state of environmental consciousness of students, the role of environmental education as a factor in the formation of culture, moral standards in relations with nature, and overcoming the environmental crisis has considered.

Neocorporatism, formed in the last third of the twentieth century, is undergoing a serious test of modality at the beginning of the twenty-first century as a political and managerial concept. The moral aging of political ideas, doctrines, institutions is due to the nature of he development of society, the non-linear process of political modernization.

The urgent management problems already can`t longer be solved by proven management methods in a changing environment. Scientific novelty of the research: solution of the definitional problem of non-corporatism, determination of the inertial nature of the management system functioning.

The practice of applying public hearings in the Moscow region in the transformation of municipalities for the period 2015-2018 has considered. In connection with changes in Russian legislation in recent years, public hearings have become an indispensable element of the interaction of citizens and municipal authorities when merging municipalities. The purpose of this article is to determine the actual influence of citizens, their opinions, suggestions made by them, the expression of consent or disagreement on the issue being considered at the hearing on the final decision. For this purpose, an analysis of the protocols and conclusions of public hearings has conducted, the main characteristics of this form of public participation in the implementation of local self-government have determined. Statistical data on the average number of participants in public hearings on the transformation of municipal districts into urban districts, time to prepare for them in the scale of 20 municipalities of the Moscow region, the results of citizens ’voting, the presence of representatives of state authorities and some other characteristics have provided. Also, a study of the arguments “for” and “against” the association has conducted, some contradictions in the points of view of representatives of the municipal government on the issues of transformations have identified. According to the results of the study, an assessment has made of public hearings as a form of democratic participation of citizens in the implementation of local self-government on the basis of its practical implementation in the Moscow region, and situations have identified in which the opinion of the population is able to correct the intended outcome of the changes. In particular, a conclusion has made about a fairly high percentage of citizens’ attendance at hearings, the absence in most cases of a unanimous opinion about the association of municipalities among citizens, and, on the contrary, a uniquely positive assessment of changes by the municipal government. It is also assumed that the most rare scenario - the abolition of the merger of municipalities under the influence of public hearings - is possible to a greater extent for rural settlements with a high initiative of the population.
