Abstract
The paper presents the analysis of the changes that occurred in the post-Soviet period in the main industrial structures of the Irkutsk oblast - industry, food, institutional and territorial. We revealed a sectoral shift in industry and product structures in the direction of strengthening resource and raw material specialization and increasing the share of industries and types of products that focus primarily on the foreign market. The transformation of the institutional structure as a result of the privatiza tion of basic enterprises and their transfer under the control of metropolitan capital has led to a significant reduction in the fiscal return for the region. The main trend in changing the territorial structure of industrial production is a dramatic shift to the pe ripheral northern regions with the formation of a new large Verkhnelenskii territorial-production complex there. The main direc tions of regional industry development in the foreseeable future, their advantages and disadvantages are outlined.
