Abstract. In the article an attempt to give an idea of the main subjects which concern the community of strategists today is made. The review of the program and the results of discussions which were reflected in recommendations of the XV anniversary All-Russian forum “Strategic planning in regions and the cities of Russia: dialogue in search of coherence” (St. Petersburg, October 24–25, 2016) is presented. The author who is the research supervisor of the Forum since 2002 pays a special attention to the first three thematic lines of discussions: “Strategy making at the federal level and general questions of the quality of strategic management”, “Spatial and territorial planning”, “Strategy making at the macroregional, regional and municipal levels”. The analysis of the subject and the content of papers of participants of the forum allows to reveal urgent problems of the present stage of the implementation of the federal Law “About Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation” adopted in 2014. These are first of all the questions raised by the lack of sufficient and qualitative methodical materials which could have been already released. Owing to their absence the discussions about the ratio of the forecast and the strategy, a concept of a priority, a format of the plan of measures on the strategy realization, an interpretation of the requirement about the coherence of strategic documents, etc. continue. The recommendations of the Forum give an idea of the best practices of the creation of the strategy in a number of regions, such as the Republic of Tatarstan, the Republic of Sakha – Yakutia, the Tomsk and Sverdlovsk regions, and also of the technologies of strategic planning used by leading experts and consultants (Information and analysis center of St. Petersburg, the Russian Government Analytical Centre, Consortium “The Leontyevsky Center – AV Group”, etc.).
