The Russian forest sector is running down. To remedy the situation, a strategy for developing the forest sector of the Russian Federation until 2030 was developed. The strategy basically repeats the mistakes of various concepts, strategies and programs developed in recent years for the Russian Federation as a whole and its subjects.Essentially, these documents are aimed at developing the forest industry, i.e. use of wood. The strategy analysis shows the unsatisfactory nature of this document, as it is based on the provisions of the detrimental Forest Code of 2006.The strategy primary error is underresourcedplanned indicators of forest products export and domestic consumption of wood raw materials. The strategy does not fix problem of forestry financing under a market economy. Based only on wood accounting, forest evaluationsare counterproductive for the forest sector, as they underestimate the value of forest areas, which are of great environmental and social importance. Further development of the forest sector will largely depend on the ability of the Federationto dialog withits subjects, forest companies and enterprises, scientific and public organizations in the field of forest policy and practice.
