“Pikalyovo syndrome” is a challenge that single-industry towns, which arose under the conditions of the planned Soviet economy and experienced special difficulties of the “transition period,” faced en masse. Many of the settlements with city-forming enterprises that failed to successfully fit into the new economic realities are still in a depressed state to this day, lacking reliable “road maps” for further successful development. The strategic session of the Strategic Forum “Single-industry towns in a difficult socio-economic situation: ways out of the crisis” will be devoted to the problems of single-industry towns.

The organizer of the session is the Center for Strategic Research Foundation, which, together with the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, is developing individual programs for the economic development of single-industry towns that are in a difficult socio-economic situation. The event was moderated by Tatyana Karavaeva, Deputy General Director of the Center for Strategic Research Foundation.
