Endnotes:

i This paper focuses on capitals of constituent members of the Russian Federation (Districts,
Regions, Republics, autonomous regions and areas). Another aspects of this problem have
been discussed by Brade, Perzik & Piterski (2000); Pertsik & Piterski (2000).

ii Here it is necessary to bear in mind that there are two types of urban settlements officially
recognised in Russia: cities proper and towns or settlements of an urban type. In general,
cities have a population of more than 12,000 and settlements of an urban type of under
12,000, although the criteria for the classification of each depends on function as well as size.
iii The evaluation includes all of the capitals (cities) of constituent members of the RF
(Districts, Regions, Republics, autonomous regions and areas) with the exception of Grosny
(Chechen Republic) and Nazran (Ingush Republic) as well as of the rural centres of
constituent members of the RF (Palana, Tura, Aginskoe, Ust-Ordynskiy). Besides that it was
impossible to evaluate some cities in Khanty-Mansi aut. District (Chanty-Mansiysk) and in
Yamalo-Nenets aut. District (Salekhard) because of a lack of statistic date.

iv Moscow became a most prominent case in the economic and social-political development of
Russia. On the other hand, the disproportionate concentration of capitals (80% of financial
resources in Russia are actually concentrated in Moscow) creates difficulties for the
