However, the global crisis that broke out in the second half of 2008 has brought the new plots in this respect. In this article, the crisis period is seen as the time of the most vivid manifestation of the business owners’ interests in the case of metallurgical holding “Severstal”. Particular attention is paid to the influence of these interests on the socio-economic development of the Vologda Oblast – a region where the powers of the parent company of the holding OAO “Cherepovets metallurgical plant OAO “Severstal”, one of the leaders of the domestic ferrous industry are located. To identify common trends of metallurgical companies’ influence on the regional economy, in the study there were used the comparative data on the Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Belgorod, Lipetsk, and Kemerovo oblasts, where ferrous metallurgy manufactures play a crucial role in shaping the outcomes of the regional economy.
