Abstract: The national concept of "accelerated development of the Far East" declares the consolidation of population and the growth of human capital through the provision of attractive conditions and high living standards in the region. Together with the state investment into large pretentious projects in social sphere, the decrease of state support to public utilities sector in the region continues. Based on the comparative analysis of state and population expenses on public utilities, the author shows real consequences of changing the parameters of "communal guardianship" for the Far Eastern households' budgets. The author concludes that decreasing the state guardianship in the public utilities sector forms a negative vector of migration mobility. At the same time ignoring the results of unified communal policy, which leads to the destruction of system of state guardianship of social sphere in the region, contradicts the spatially oriented socio-economic policy in the Russian East.
