   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Дано определение понятий «креативные индустрии» и «креативные кластеры» в соответствии с международными и российскими нормативными документами, показана динамика занятости в креативных индустриях, приведены нормативно-правовые источники развития креативных кластеров в России, принятые в 2021-2025 годах. Отражены цели развития креативной экономики, виды креативных индустрий. Рассмотрены основные цели и задачи, обозначенные в Стратегии развития креативной экономики до 2036 года. Показано, что одна из важнейших функций креативных кластеров – аккумулирование талантливой молодежи в регионе. Сделан обзор направлений исследований в области формирования и развития креативных кластеров в регионах России. Исследование показало, что многочисленны публикации по развитию креативных индустрий в российских, прежде всего, крупных, крупнейших городах и городах-миллионниках. Исследований по развитию креативных индустрий и кластеров в малых городах и поселках немного. Обозначены проблемы развития креативных кластеров, причины неудачных практик создания креативных кластеров в российских регионах. Показана важность учета особенностей региона, где планируется размещение креативного кластера. Опираясь на публикации других ученых и экспертов, авторы приводят группировку креативных кластеров, предлагаемые направления и этапы формирования креативных кластеров в регионах, результаты рейтинга регионов по индексу креативных индустрий. Рассмотрены заинтересованные стороны в развитии креативных кластеров в регионах. Проведено сравнение развития креативных кластеров в таких регионах, как Калужская область, Ярославская область и Калининградская область – выделены особенности развития креативных кластеров, их институциональная среда, направления формирования креативных индустрий. Показано, что развитие креативных кластеров идет параллельно с развитием других региональных кластеров.</p>

    <p>According to international and Russian regulatory documents, the research defines the concepts of ‘creative industries’ and ‘creative clusters’, shows the dynamics of employment in creative industries and the regulatory sources for creative clusters development in Russia in 2021-2025. The purpose of the research is to consider the development of the creative economy and the types of creative industries highlighted by the Strategy for the Development of the Creative Economy until 2036. Indeed, the one of the most important functions of creative clusters is the accumulation of talented youth in the region. The research reviews the formation and development of creative clusters in the regions of Russia. Moreover, there are numerous publications on the development of creative industries in Russia, primarily in large and extra-large cities. However, there are few studies on the development of creative industries and clusters in small towns and villages. The research defines the problems of creative clusters development and the reasons for the unsuccessful practices of creating creative clusters in Russian regions in terms the specifics of the region where the creative cluster is planned to be located. Based on publications by other scientists and experts, the authors propose the classification of creative clusters, directions and stages of their regional formation, and the results of the region’s rating on the creative industries index. Moreover, the research focuses on the stakeholders in regional development of creative clusters. The article compares the development of creative clusters in the Kaluga region, the Yaroslavl region, and the Kaliningrad region, and highlights the features of those development, institutional environment, and the directions of creative industries formation. Hence, the development of creative clusters follows with the development of other regional clusters.</p>
