The article examines the problems of development, disproportions and spatial inequality of Russian regions, the reasons for the economic and sociocultural stagnation of small regional cities, the lack of balance in the development of large cities and small settlements in the context of interregional inequality. An analysis of the study of problems and reasons for updating the quality of life of the population of small towns is presented, and the possibilities for their development are considered. It is emphasized that population growth in agglomera-tions does not always lead to better living conditions. The emphasis is laid on the human-centered system of assessment of this indicator, which is conditioned by cultural characteristics and value system. It is stressed that in modern Russia regional management uses a model of active social policy based on the inclusion of human capital in the process of overcoming the inequalities of territories. Conclusion emphasizes the fact that promot-ing the development of civic and creative potential of small town residents to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of small settlements is the most important task of the authorities in the context of Russia's strategic geopolitics.

The article scrutinizes the assessment of the potential for social and labor mobility of the population of the Re-public of Tuva through the prism of migration potential. The empirical basis is the data of sociological surveys conducted in 2019, 2021 and 2022 in this constituent entity of the Federation. The results of the survey revealed that about 10 % of respondents can potentially leave the region, but the opportunities for such migration are not very significant. The determining factor for relocation is not so much an active life strategy as the financial level of citizens. In other words, insufficient funds for travel and settling in a new place of residence is a priority for refusal to migrate. Possible causes for the population's potential departure from the republic have also been identified: problems of infrastructural unsettlement and personal circumstances, such as low wages, lack of suitable employment, fear of losing ethnic identity, changes in the habitual way of life.
