Abstract
Urals economic region has become through centuries of industrial development the stronghold of Russian military-industrial complex (MIC). Two stages of conversion (starting from 1988) have sharply reduced its role in the economy and its technological potential. Total social and economic crisis in the country together with sectoral and spatial peculiarities of Urals’ MIC make the process of conversion extremely vulnerable. A programed approach is needed to keep the balance between national and local priorities of the Defense sector. A sketch of such a program is presented in this paper.
