Sukiasyan Asatur Albertovich

The paper deals with the concepts of state investment policy that were included in the program documents of political parties and movements of the Russian Federation during the parliamentary elections of 2003 and the presidential campaign in 2004. By investment policy, the author understands a set of doctrines and managerial decisions that determine the sources of formation, goals and methods of using financial resources aimed at the development of the country. The research task is to form scientific ideas about the content and results of socio-political discussions on the problems of state investment policy in Russia in the early 2000s. The paper was carried out on the basis of general scientific approaches and applied methods of historical and socio-humanitarian research: content analysis, comparative method, system analysis, etc. The novelty of the research is determined by the first comprehensive study of election programs and other public documents of the leading political parties and social movements in Russia in the early 2000s from a thematic perspective of state investment policy. The author notes that the economic policy of the Russian leadership received the support of the majority of voters in 2003-2004. And this policy including the combination of state financing of the strategic directions of the country's development with the stimulation of the activity of private business has shown its effectiveness in subsequent years. The results of the work can be used in the development of programs for the state investment policy of Russia, as well as in scientific and educational activities in universities of the humanitarian and financial profile.
