Determining the relationship between the innovative development of the Russian economy and the dynamics of scientific and technological progress in the economies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is an important, yet understudied, issue in Russian science and practice. Given the Russian economy’s focus on ensuring technological sovereignty, the importance of assessing each region’s contribution to the country’s scientific and technological development increases exponentially. The purpose of this article is to analyze the dynamics of regional scientific and technological development over several years. This analysis was conducted using statistical data for 2019, 2022, and 2023 published on the websites of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. The authors also used statistical data posted on the website of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. The study is based on the aggregate index proposed in previous studies. A fairly stable relationship was found between economic structure and the scientific and technological revolution. Regions with a more diversified economic structure have a higher scientific and technological revolution index. As expected, a strong correlation was found between the share of scientific activity in a region and the scientific and technological revolution, particularly for the subindex responsible for science funding.
