Frequencies in Russia are assigned by SCRF - State Commission on Radio Frequencies.
The first document is a general table of frequency allocations and the second is a current decision for the amateur radio service, which specifies the table for specific frequency bands and modes of radiation.

HF and VHF frequency distribution

(according to the Frequency Allocation Table of the Russian Federation)

In all specified frequencies - spectrum sharing.

The primary and secondary basis determine the priority of a particular service in a given part of the radio wave spectrum.
In the case of amateur radio, the PRIMARY basis means that other services (aeronautical mobile, land mobile, radio navigation, etc.) cannot claim protection from interference from amateur radio. The secondary base is the opposite. The broadcast of a PRIMARY base radio station can displace a secondary base radio station from the spectrum without consequences for itself from the regulatory body - Roskomnadzor:

Radio-electronic equipment using radio frequencies on a secondary basis must not cause harmful interference to radio electronic equipment using radio frequencies on a primary basis.
Regulation "On the procedure for assigning (assigning) radio frequencies in the Russian Federation for radio-electronic equipment for all purposes" Appendix to the decision of the SCRF dated June 29, 1998. (protocol No. 7/2)

List of services that may conflict on air with the amateur radio service when sharing spectrum

• 1810-1850 kHz: MARINE MOBILE, LAND MOBILE, FIXED
• 3650-3800 kHz: MOBILE except aeronautical mobile, FIXED
• 7100-7200 kHz: BROADCAST
• 10100-10150 kHz: FIXED, mobile, excluding aeronautical mobile
• 14250-14350 kHz: FIXED
• 18068-18168 kHz: FIXED
• 24890-24990 kHz: LAND MOBILE, FIXED
• 144-146 MHz: aeronautical mobile (OR) - an aeronautical mobile service intended for communications, including communications relating to flight coordination primarily outside national or international civil air routes; (OR = off-route i.e. outside the routes).
• 430-440 MHz kHz: MOBILE, excluding aeronautical mobile, RADIOLOCATION, FIXED
• 1260-1300 MHz: RADIOLOCATION, RADIONAVIGATION, RADIONAVIGATION SATELLITE (space-Earth, space-space), SPACE RESEARCH (active), EARTH EXPLORATION-SATELLITE (active)
• 10-10.5 GHz: RADIOLOCATION, EARTH EXPLORATION SATELLITE (active), mobile, fixed.

The only ranges where radio amateurs have no competitors:

• 28000-29700 kHz

Within one base (PRIMARY and PRIMARY, secondary and secondary), the priority of frequency occupation is determined according to the principle: who gets up first gets the slippers. However, before starting the transmission, the radio amateur is obliged to listen to the air, and even if there are no signs of activity, go on transmission and ask the question: “Is the frequency free?” (Is this frequency in use?). And leave the frequency if there is a response. If there is no answer, you can start working at this frequency.
