ABSTRACT

The article examines spatial differentiation in the innovative development of Russian regions amid the simultaneous spread of digital technologies and tightening external technological restrictions. A methodological framework is proposed that distinguishes resource provision, intensity of innovation processes, innovation performance, digital maturity and technological resilience. The paper substantiates indicators, normalization and aggregation procedures, measures of interregional inequality and a regional typology algorithm. Sanctions exposure is separated from observed impact and adaptive resilience. The novelty lies in integrating digital maturity and technological resilience into one analytical framework while preserving their independent meaning. The approach supports differentiated regional innovation policy instruments.
