The article raises the question of regional aspects of differentiation in terms of the degree of
development of the creative economy and its public and private spheres in relation to such a sector
as higher education. As a spatial unit of analysis, Federal Districts and regions – subjects of the
Russian Federation were chosen. Based on the analysis of statistical data provided by Rosstat, the
author comes to the conclusion that in such a sector of the creatosphere as education, public (state)
ownership is the most significant for satisfying the needs of the population, and private property
plays the role of an additional factor that, which in a number of cases makes it possible to smooth
out the shortage caused by inadequate state participation. In particular, this manifests itself in a
greater proportion of private institutions of higher learning in those regions where the population's
availability of public institutions is lower than the national average. It is only possible to provide the
population with higher educational institutions, mainly at the expense of the private sphere, to rare
regions. In addition, the study of statistical data in the regional context confirms the conclusion of
a number of researchers of the creative economy that the public sector of the creatosphere provides
greater equality in access to creative goods. In particular, with respect to the subject of our research –
higher education, this is manifested in the fact that a significant sector of public institutions of higher
learning is the main condition for maintaining a relatively low regional differentiation in terms of
access to education, while the private higher education develops predominantly in the richest regions
and reinforces regional inequalities in this area.
