Abstract
Economic security is a focal point for regional development in the context of the volatile geopolitical situation. Ensuring economic security requires achieving sustainable economic growth. The study focuses on the role of innovation in the system of regional economic security by considering the innovative activity as an indispensable condition for the long-term development of the regional economy. The article emphasises the significant divergence of Russian regions by the level of innovative development. The innovation space of the Western borderland of Russia is differentiated into three types of territories: growth poles, semiperiphery, and periphery. Regional innovation and economic security policies should take into account substantial variation in innovation security objectives and threats between regions.
