The research is aimed at substantiating a mechanism for the formation of interregional clusters. In order to identify the current state and development prospects for the Russian wood industry, we conducted an analysis of its functioning on the basis of official statistics. We substantiated the advantages of a cluster form of integration and made an assessment of the foreign and domestic clustering experience in the wood industry on the basis of an in-depth study of the related literature, analysis and synthesis of the data taken from certain specialized Internet portals of the Russian wood industry. To implement into practice our approach to the formation of interregional wood industry clusters in the Central Federal District (CFD), we carried out a research into these territories’ resource potential for clusterization (a rating-and-score method, methods of localization and concentration, a method of territorial proximity, a method of formalization, etc.). The obtained results showed that is it possible to form 4 wood industry clusters in the CFD of Russia, allowing to concentrate a resource capacity of several territories for the purpose of strengthening the interregional interaction of the timber industry enterprises, to create opportunities for the implementation of large-scale innovative projects in the industry.

该研究旨在证实区域间集群的形成机制。为了确定俄罗斯木材工业的现状和发展前景，我们根据官方统计数据对其运作进行了分析。我们在深入研究相关文献、分析综合来自某专业互联网的数据的基础上，论证了集群整合形式的优势，对国内外木材产业集群经验进行了评估。俄罗斯木材工业的门户。为了将我们在中央联邦区 (CFD) 形成区域间木材产业集群的方法付诸实践，我们对这些地区的集群化资源潜力进行了研究（评级和评分方法，本地化和集中的方法，领土接近的方法，形式化的方法等）。得出的结果表明，在俄罗斯CFD中形成4个木材产业集群是可能的，可以集中几个地区的资源能力，以加强木材工业企业的区域间互动，为实施的机会创造机会。行业内的大型创新项目。
