Today, as in the previous world financial and economic crisis of 2008–2009, the problems growworse for the single-industry regions of Russia due to their narrow sectoral specialization.The poorly diversified economic structure of the single-industry regions, the reduction of prices for output products, a highdependence on foreign technologies under the natural resource depletion are being the strong deterrent to the development ofsingle-industry regions. Therefore, the need to place special emphasis on identifying the ways to diversify and modernize theseregions becomes obvious.The article presents the genesis of the single-industry territories of Russia with the allocation of essential characteristics andproblems that prevent the development of single-industry regions. The special attention is paid to the dominating industriesdetermining the regional features of the socio-economic development of these regions. Therefore, the algorithm of determinationand classification of the single-industry regions of Russia has been developed and approved.The world experience of modernization and reconstruction of the single-industry regions was analyzed.
