The uneven development of countries and regions is one of the major topics of geography. Since its subject, as defined by N N Baransky, is the difference from place to place. Considering economic activity, socio-economic processes and indicators in the territorial aspect, we are confronted with the inequality of their distribution across the territory. This problem is particularly relevant, because the objective reality, due to the diversity and uniqueness of local conditions, as well as historical, economic, political reasons. Currently, there are various approaches to measuring socio-economic asymmetry. The “centre-periphery” model is remarkably resilient and flexible, and is able to maintain its properties under different socio-economic conditions. Based on statistical analysis (1995-2018), GRP per capita by regions of Russia was examined, as well as correlation coefficients.
