The transition from programmatic to strategic management in Russia, including its theoretical, methodological and regulatory support, is a natural consequence of the implementation of market reforms using the management practices of highly developed countries. Unlike foreign experience, in Russian management practice, the transition from programmatic to strategic management at both the state and regional and municipal levels was based on the use of the methodology for developing five-year plans during the socialist period, as well as its additions by the results of domestic research. These include the systematization of methodological approaches developed so far, as well as the basic principles of forming a strategic management system, presented by the authors of this article.
