Transformation of Russia’s foreign trade integration with post-soviet countries in the context of sanctions

The paper examines the trends, problems and prospects of Russia’s trade relations with post-Soviet states in the context of sanctions imposed by the West. The key prerequisites for the neutrality of most CIS countries with regard to anti-Russian sanctions are considered. The dynamics, structure and stages of Russia’s trade interaction with post-Soviet countries for the period 2022–2024 are analyzed. The importance of the current preferential trade agreements between Russia and the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and this association with third countries in the development of intermediary trade is noted. A typology of countries in the region is carried out depending on the intensity and nature of its trade relations with Russia.
