The administrative closure of a business caused by the coronavirus epidemic has postponed the issues of the quantitative and qualitative development of small businesses for an indefinite period. In these conditions, the tasks of preserving and surviving SMEs in the post-pandemic period, making new strategic decisions at both the federal and regional levels of government, which differ from the «firefighting» measures of anti-crisis support in 2020, are of particular relevance in these conditions. The aim of the study is to identify problems in the system of state support for small and medium-sized businesses at the regional level based on the analysis and assessment of its dynamics in the pre-quarantine and post-pandemic periods, as well as to determine the directions of its transformation. To achieve this goal, legislative innovations in the field of small economy were considered, regional programs for anti-crisis support for small and medium-sized businesses were analyzed; assessed the possible prospects for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the post-crisis economy of our country, as well as strategic changes in the system of its state support. The following general scientific and special methods were chosen as scientific tools: systemic, retrospective analysis, as well as statistical survey methods. The paper concludes that there was no significant effect from those legislative innovations that were designed to reverse the negative trends in the small business sector that had developed over the three years preceding the introduction of restrictive measures in the economy. The formulation of the question of whether the use of an anti-crisis (costly) model of support for SMEs in the post-pandemic period will become a strategy for its development in the future differs in scientific novelty. The results of the study are aimed at identifying the problems that the system of state support for regional small and medium-sized businesses may face as it emerges from the pandemic, in particular, on the aggravation of the contradiction between the preservation of anti-crisis measures to support SMEs and the possibilities of financing them from regional budgets. In this regard, the question of the need to change the configuration of the existing support system for small businesses, based on methods of direct allocation of budget funds, is of particular importance. The results of the study can be applied in the formation of a strategy for the development of medium-sized entrepreneurship in the constituent entities of the Federation. As practical recommendations, proposals are presented to abandon traditional measures to support SMEs in favor of a transition to the formation of a new model, in which modern business institutions of the ecosystem of medium-sized entrepreneurship occupy a central place.
В условиях разразившейся эпидемии коронавируса, повлекшей за собой режим самоизоляции, наметились серьезные проблемы в экономике страны, и самым слабым звеном в этой ситуации оказалось некрупное предпринимательство в сервисных отраслях. Выживаемость сектора малой экономики поставила под сомнение достижение целей, намеченных ранее в Стратегии пространственного развития РФ на период до 2025 г. Приоритетным становится реализация пакета правительственных мер поддержки некрупного предпринимательства. Излишняя избирательность государственной политики по сохранению малого бизнеса в стране не гарантирует получение финансовой помощи всеми нуждающимися мелкими предпринимателями и в недостаточной степени учитывает их региональную специфику. In the context of the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic, which led to a regime of self-isolation, serious problems have emerged in the country's economy. And the weakest link in this situation was small business in the service industries. The survival of the small economy sector has cast doubt on the achievement of the growth prospects previously outlined in the spatial development Strategy until 2025. The priority is the implementation of a package of government measures to support small business. Excessive selectivity of the state policy to preserve small businesses in the country does not guarantee financial assistance to all small entrepreneurs in need and does not sufficiently take into account their regional specificity.
Восстановление некрупного предпринимательства после локдаунов 2020 года становится важнейшей задачей органов власти всех уровней. Однако проблема состоит в том, что конфигурация системы поддержки малого и среднего бизнеса до сих пор опирается на ме тоды прямого государственного финансирования. В условиях кризиса предоставление эталонного объема помощи всем без исключения регионам вполне обоснованно, но в посткризисном периоде эти меры неэффективны. В этой связи обосновывается необходимость разработки новой модели поддержки малого и среднего предпринимательства (далее – МСП), ориентирующей на переход от бюджетного распределения средств к укреплению инфраструктуры бизнеса.
