This article analyzes some aspects of the spatial basis of state territorial administration in modern Russia. Attention is focused on spatial-territorial units such as the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, region, macroregion, federal district, military administrative district, the Arctic zone of Russia, federal territory, and territory of advanced development. As a result, generalized conclusions and judgments on the research topic have been formulated. It has been suggested that state territorial administration in Russia cannot be based solely on a single type or form of spatial organization that is non-alternative.
