Abstract

The current stage of development of the entire world community, including Russia, is associated with the transition to the sixth technological order, the development of Industry 4.0, and the development of the digital economy. The importance of solving the problem of Russia's transition to an innovative path of development is obvious; numerous scientific publications of the last two decades have been devoted to this. However, the real results of the policy of the Russian state in the field of innovation are rather contradictory. Within the framework of this article, the evolution of state policy, its current trends and problems in the field of innovations in the Russian Federation are considered. The purpose of this study is to identify the features and prospects of the innovation policy of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the following tasks were set: to determine the place of Russia in the modern world in terms of the development of the innovation system, as well as its potential, to identify the features, strengths and weaknesses of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of innovation, and to determine possible directions for its adjustment in order to overcome the country's lag in the innovation field. Based on the results of the study, directions of economic development have been proposed. The conclusions obtained in the course of the study may be of interest to the scientific community studying the experience and problems of organizing and managing innovations in the countries solving the problem of keeping pace with the leaders of innovative development by mastering the advantages and possibilities of transition to a new technological order, the fourth industrial revolution and digitalization of the economy.
