This article deals with the problem of ensuring the economic security of the regions of the Russian Federation at the present stage. The methodological and practical features of its solution are highlighted. The role and place of regions in the overall system of national and economic security of Russia is substantiated, the key concepts of security in relation to regions are clarified and the main threats and challenges are considered. The results of the study showed that the Russian Federation has a complex federal structure. The territory of Russia is territorially divided into 8 federal districts. All regions have distinctive features in terms of geographical location, length of territories, population size and density, availability of natural resources on the territory, level of development of productive forces, proximity of borders with other countries, etc. These features are the main factors that determine the socio-economic situation of the regions, the level of their economic security, the nature of external and internal threats. Within the framework of the state regional policy, territories of advanced social and economic development are being created. These entities are provided with a special legal status and economic benefits (tax, customs, concessional lending, etc.) to attract domestic and foreign investors, accelerate economic development and improve the life of the population. There are 26 special economic zones and 28 priority development territories have been created and are functioning effectively in Russia. The basic principles of the state regional policy are also taken into account in the development of national projects and other regulatory instruments.
