Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the spatial distribution of economic resources in the Central Federal District (CFD) of Russia, a macroregion that concentrates 40% of the country's GDP. Based on data from Rosstat, the Ministry of Economic Development and regional development strategies, key factors of hyper-centralization of resources in Moscow have been identified, including agglomeration effects, infrastructural advantages and migration flows. It was found that 68% of investments in the Central Federal District are concentrated in the capital, while the depressed regions (Ivanovo, Smolensk regions, etc) They are facing depopulation and deindustrialization. Statistical analysis, mapping and clustering methods were applied, which allowed us to identify three groups of regions: the "core", "industrial periphery" and "depressed regions". Measures have been proposed to reduce imbalances, including the development of growth hubs, infrastructural integration, and tax redistribution. The results show that the implementation of the proposals will make it possible to reduce Moscow's share in investment by 2030.
