The article presents the author’s point of view on the formation of the mixed (convergent, doubletrack)
model of socio-economic and community development in the Russian Federation – as inherent in
the federal state with multinational population, open space, and diversified economic orders determined
by historical and national-cultural traditions. The author’s stance is based on the wildly discussed and
debated thesis about the necessity of organic combination of primary state regulation of macroeconomic
processes with predominant market self-regulation of microeconomic processes. The framework of the
mixed model of socio-economic and community development presupposes more active and effective
use of the “point” state regulation in the creation of favorable and equal conditions for the systematic
development of all forms (private, with public participation) of business and the expansion of the “corridor
of opportunities” for the spatial development of all regions and the improvement of quality and standard
of living of the Russian population (regardless of place of residence and position). The article substantiates
theoretical and methodological possibility of successful implementation of the mixed model in the Russian
Federation
