In the article, we consider changes in the arrangement of the subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of labour productivity for the period 2000–2017. We show that currently in Russia, there is an extremely high differentiation of regions in terms of labour productivity, and over the past two decades, there has been an increase in it. The figures that allow us to conclude about the unique territorial structure of Russia we give in the text, namely: part of the Russian regions belong to the group of core countries in terms of technological development; the other part — to the countries of the semi-periphery; the third — to the countries of the periphery. We showed that in the periods of 2000–2010 and 2010–2017 characterised completely different structural schemes of the country’s development. The share of so-called “between effect” in the growth of the total labour productivity in Russia in the second period increased more than ten times as compared to the first period. It means that in the second decade of the XXI century the country’s regional labour overflows accelerated. It simultaneously contributed to the growth of productivity and even more entrenched concentric model of development, increasing the differentiation of subjects of the Russian Federation.
