Abstract
The paper investigates the distribution of social capital components of Russian regions. For this purpose, the clustering of Russian regions was performed in accordance with indicators of social capital in innovation. It was found that economically weak regions are trying to search and create radical innovations through the establishment of the relationship with the scientific and educational sphere. In other words, these regions attempt to form their social innovation capital in depth. The regions with a strong economic potential focus on the development of relations with agents of the market that means that they try creating their social capital in width. Results of the study confirmed that necessary conditions for region's innovation activity are a mature market, an existence of strong universities and high concentration of research institutions in the region.
