| Abstract: | The deep structural crisis in Russia during the 1990s has significantly affected the dynamics and structure of Russian foreign trade development. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the consequent formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a major part of the Soviet Union's internal trade has become a component of Russia's foreign trade. The 'export versus import' structure in Russia has deteriorated. There has been a rapid increase in the export of energy resources and metals; however, the export of high-technology products, including those in the defence sectors, have actually been reduced. The urged and improperly pursued policy of opening all the boundaries of the domestic market has resulted in its saturation with foreign-made consumer goods, machinery and equipment. |
