В статье на основе анализа существующих работ на тему статуса субъекта государства и смежных с ней исследований российского федерализма, а также представленного списка показателей статуса, которые включают в себя две основные группы характеристик: формальные нормы и ресурсы (экономические, политические, культурные), предпринимается попытка количественно измерить политический статус субъектов РФ и проанализировать его динамику за период с 1998 по 2021 гг. Несмотря на распространенный тезис о наличии особого положения исключительно у российских республик в 1990–2000-х гг. и о потере данного положения в процессе политики централизации 2000–2010-х гг., проведенный анализ демонстрирует сохранение большинством субъектов РФ своего политического статуса на прежнем уровне, а в некоторых случаях – его повышение, что, однако, оказывается возможным из-за трансформации самого концепта политического статуса в рассматриваемый период, в котором потеря формальных показателей вследствие централизационных процессов компенсируется ростом ресурсных показателей статуса – в первую очередь экономических и культурных.

In the article, based on the analysis of the existing works on the status of the constituent units of the state and related studies of Russian federalism, as well as the presented list of status indicators, which include two main groups of characteristics: formal norms and resources (economic, political, cultural), an attempt is made to quantitatively measure the political status of the subjects of the Russian Federation and analyze its dynamics for the period from 1998 to 2021. Despite the widespread thesis that Russian republics had a special position exclusively in the 1990s–2000s and that this position was lost in the process of centralization policy in the 2000s–2010s, the analysis shows that the majority of the Russian subjects retained their political status at the same level, and in some cases increased it, which, however, was possible due to the transformation of the very concept of political status in the period under consideration, in which the loss of formal indicators due to centralization processes is compensated by the growth of resource indicators of status – mainly economic and cultural.
