Irkutsk Oblast of the Russian Federation is usually regarded as an industrial region. Its economy is oriented predominantly at extracting industries (coal, gas, iron ore, gold, salt, mica, timber cutting, hydropower) and first stages of processing (including petrochemicals and aluminium using imported raw materials). The principle proprietors (earlier sectoral ministries, now trans-national corporations) have their headquarters very far from Siberia and their interests are rather alien to the region. In fact, such a picture makes even the given definition ("industrial region") somehow doubtful and too optimistic. However, it can be said that we deal here with an early stage of industrialization, far from post-industrial development. Still, all this does not mean that such functions as science, education, or culture do not exist here. They do exist but are not used as "locomotives" of regional economy. In the last several years, the authors of the report have taken part in investigations and discussions on strategic planning of regional development in Irkutsk Oblast for the first half of the 21st century.
