Thus 34,000 unitary enterprises failed to make their accounting for the results of 1999 available. The reasons could be connected to the fact that they were in the process of reorganizing, liquidation, or bankruptcy, and also to their conducting accounting according to a simplified system due to their size (small unitary enterprises).
- Dynamics and structure of state enterprises by forms of property ownership and branches in the 1990s
As was shown above, the sector of unitary enterprises includes enterprises owned by the Russian Federation, its subjects (republics, krais, oblasts, etc), and municipal formations. Not possessing accurate data on the number of unitary enterprises for each of these forms of property ownership, for purposes of analysis one may turn to information from the State Committee on Property of the Russian Federation data bank for state enterprises on an independent balance sheet for 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1998 (Table 3).

The data from Table 3 show that the basic tendency in the correlation among diverse types of state enterprises in the 1990s was the running-ahead decrease in the number of federal state enterprises (almost by four times) in comparison with state enterprises of republics within the Russian Federations and of municipal formations (by about one third). State enterprises belonging to the property ownership of krais and oblasts occupied an intermediate position among them: their number decreased by forty-five percent.
While the number of federal state enterprises decreased undeviatingly, the dynamics of state enterprises of other forms of property ownership were not so unambiguous. Thus the number of republican state enterprises in 1994 grew by 1.5 percent, and in 1996-1997 by four percent. The number of state enterprises belonging to the property ownership of krais and oblasts as of 1 January 1994 grew by sixteen percent in comparison with the beginning of 1993, while between 1 January 1996 and 1 January 1998 the number grew by 2.4 percent. For municipal enterprises the analogous indicators comprised 0.8 percent and three percent, respectively.
The factual stagnation of the privatization process which began in the summer of 1996 can be clearly seen from Table 3. The number of state enterprises on an independent balance sheet as of 1 January 1998 was practically unchanged in comparison with 1 Juune 1996. Moroever, the number of state enterprises had risen for all forms of property ownership (with the exception of federal ownership).
The basic results of all these processes were:
- a time and a half decrease in the share of federal state enterprises in the overall mass of state enterprises on an independent balance sheet (from fifty-four percent at the beginning of 1993 to thirty-three to thirty-seven percent in 1995-1998);
- a practically undeviating growth in the share of municipal enterprises (from one third at the beginning of 1993 to almost one half at the beginning of 1998;
- the share of state enterprises belonging to the property ownership of constituent members of the Russian Federation grew the least (from 12.6 percent at the beginning of 1993 to about seventeen or eighteen percent in the following years);
- Republican enterprises began predominating in the mass of state enterprises belonging to the property ownership of constituent members of the Russian Federation beginning in early 1996,2
although the republics comprise less than one quarter of all constituent members of the Russian Federation, and their proportion of the aggregate population of the country as of the beginning of 1998 comprised about sixteen percent, and about thirteen percent in the gross regional product in 1997 for Russia as a whole.
The structure of state enterprises on an independent balance sheet in the 1990s is represented below (Table 4).
