This article presents the study results for the administrative elite in ten Russian regions (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Leningrad, Rostov, Kaliningrad, Kostroma and Novosibirsk Oblasts, Khabarovsk and Stavropol Krais, Republic of Dagestan). The analysis of the socio-demographic characteristics of the administrative elite showed no significant differences between men and women in terms of age, birthplace, as well as the type and the place where first (and subsequent) higher education was received. Studying the career trajectories of women in the ministerial elite showed that they most often occupy elite positions, like men, in middle age, but less often come from economic and security structures; horizontal and vertical movements mostly take place within the same professional institution - executive power agencies. The author identified regional governments with similar gender specifics (relative gender parity and relative gender imbalance). The study revealed that more feminized governments are formed in bordering and economically successful regions, while gender imbalance is most characteristic for the governments of economically dependent regions and those located in the south of the Russian Federation (with some exceptions).</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В работе представлены результаты эмпирического исследования административной элиты десяти российских регионов (г. Москва, г. Санкт-Петербург, Ленинградская, Ростовская, Калининградская, Костромская и Новосибирская области, Хабаровский и Ставропольский край, Республика Дагестан). Анализ социально-демографических характеристик административной элиты показал, что существенных различий по возрасту, месту рождения, типу и месту полученного первого высшего образования (и последующего) между мужчинами и женщинами практически не наблюдается. Исследование карьерных траекторий женщин в министерской элите показало, что чаще всего они занимают элитные позиции, как и мужчины, в среднем возрасте, реже приходят из экономических и силовых структур, горизонтальные и вертикальные перемещения в большинстве случаев осуществляют в рамках одной профессиональной институции - органов исполнительной власти. В работе были выделены региональные правительства со схожими гендерными характеристиками (относительного гендерного паритета и относительного гендерного дисбаланса). В ходе исследования выявлено, что в приграничных и экономически успешных регионах формируются более феминизированные правительства, а режим гендерного дисбаланса в правительстве чаще всего характерен для экономически зависимых регионов и тех, что расположены на юге РФ (за некоторым исключением).</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>gender</kwd><kwd>woman</kwd><kwd>man</kwd><kwd>administrative elite</kwd><kwd>power</kwd><kwd>Russian region</kwd><kwd>feminization of power</kwd><kwd>recruitment</kwd><kwd>career trajectories</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>гендер</kwd><kwd>женщина</kwd><kwd>мужчина</kwd><kwd>административная элита</kwd><kwd>власть</kwd><kwd>российский регион</kwd><kwd>феминизация власти</kwd><kwd>рекрутирование</kwd><kwd>карьерные траектории</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Aivazova, S.G.
