SOME FORMS OF INFLUENCE ON CRISIS PROCESSES IN REGIONAL ECONOMIES

Background. In recent years, price fluctuations have increasingly affected the socio-economic stability of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, especially under conditions of global turbulence and sanctions pressure. The aim of the study is to iden tify mechanisms capable of mitigating inflationary pressure and stabilizing regional econo mies. Materials and methods. The study employs an integrated approach combining eco nomic analysis, historical parallels, and critical evaluation of current regulatory measures. Results. The paper analyzes the impact of inflation on key sectors of regional economies, examines historical examples (including those from the 1990s), and assesses anti-crisis tools applied at the regional level. Special attention is paid to regional specifics, such as differences in economic structure, dependency on the federal center, and the population's social sensitiv ity. Conclusions. The effectiveness of responses to crisis processes largely depends on the coherence of fiscal and social policies, regional openness to innovation, and the flexibility of administrative decision-making. The article may be of interest to anti-crisis strategy devel opers, public administration bodies, and scholars studying regional resilience mechanisms under inflationary shocks.
