Abstract: There is a great difference in revenue capacity and expenditure needs among Russian regions. Thus the fiscal equalization is an important issue in Russian federalism. The goal of this article is to encourage the discussion about the adequacy of the current horizontal fiscal equalization for the challenge of regional fiscal inequity. In this opinion piece the great attention is paid to Russian and German experience in «negative fiscal transfer» paid by rich regions to the poor regions. The probable design of such a «negative fiscal transfer» on the federal level in Russia and its potential influence on budget capacity of different regions is also discussed.
