Abstract: Introduction. The article considers the problem of spatial asymmetry in the relations of the federal center with Russia’s regions. The aim of this article is to assess the asymmetry of the fiscal federalism relations between the federal center and Russia’s regions on the basis of the author’s methodology. Methods. In the research process, methods of comparative analysis, generalizations, and systemic approaches were used. The empirical information base of the study is the data of The Federal Treasury of Russian Federation. Scientific novelty. The author proposes a methodology for assessing relationships with the help of indicators. The methodology is based on a dual assessment of indicators of a region being provided with its own financial resources and the sufficiency of these resources to fulfill its own regional powers. Results. The using author’s methodology made it possible to distinguish 5 groups of Russia’s regions with similar characteristics in the relations of these regions with the federal center. Conclusions.
