In the current geopolitical realities, when the system of international relations is being restructured and a number of states are striving to establish their own “rules-based” model as the dominant one, a special attention should be paid to the analysis of the degree of economic protection of the national state from external threats.
Based on the systematization of available statistical data, the authors attempt to analyze modern Russian export-import relations, paying special attention to the state of energy exports in the face of unprecedented sanctions pressure from unfriendly countries. It also provides a comprehensive review of the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation in the field of foreign trade, and examines the most significant legislative acts.
