This paper explores the applicability of the experience of the European Union (EU) cohesion policy in the Russian Federation. Using comparative and content analysis, we focus on primary components of the EU cohesion policy for our study: territorial classification, financial base, institutions, legislative base, and civil factor. The last highlighted component has not been previously investigated in such studies, and we emphasize it differentiates the EU's regional policy from other concepts, providing an upper level of territorial convergence and integration. This topic is relevant and has the potential for practical application since Russia does not have a unified regional plan. The author manages to identify 20 basic principles of the EU cohesion policy applicable in Russia.
